Free-will
We have noted that, if there is a God, what He does is of an eternal nature. He is NOT experimenting,, trying out this and that. He does not need experimentation; His knowledge is precise, perfect. He is aware of every minute movement of His creation, past, present and future.
God has designed and ordained His creation precisely as He sought. There is no such thing as a god that makes even the slightest error.
However, it is obvious we have freewill. If we are able to choose against God, Himself, then we most certainly have freewill.
Indeed, our freewill is absolute.
In 'Energies' we will look at the basic law of creation; impulse. Impulse is action from reaction or, more precisely, reaction upon reaction.
From the instant God gave impulse to creation, the first action,
there has been reaction ever since.
Each basic fabric of the universe has reacted to a previous reaction which is traced back to God's first action, without ANY FURTHER NEED FOR ACTION BY GOD. This is impulse.
In the same manner, an impulse today would be traceable thereon in, down the future. Even a small thing, like a kind word, will have repercussions down the centuries, even to the Second Coming of Christ. This is impulse.
God retains a continuous interest in His creation, (He holds it together) and He has made Himself available to react to impulse, also. (He answers prayer - He provides miracles).
Every reaction we take, then, is part of the total impulsing of creation. While we are influenced by our circumstances and situations and those around us, the choice of action (reaction) is ours, absolutely.
This procedure is not interfered with by God - He has no need to. Although He does know every reaction we will take, it remains with us to make the choice.
While there are millions of impulses affecting all of us, daily, our reaction to them is up to us, completely.
The simple law of impulse
not only provides us
with absolute freewill
but also proves
that evolution is a fact of life,
and, in that sense,
a very, very important part of Christianity.
Procreation
There has always been divisions around the world, in the main, a natural phenomena, such as tribal or national.
In today's world, there are many deliberately generated divisions, for example, racial, political, religious, people of different habits (smokers/non smokers etc.), wealth, taxation, and, of course, sex
The sex act is a most natural action born out of the ultimate need for survival and expansion of the race by way of reproduction or, better, procreation, in a situation of mateship and love.
Mankind, being an important cog in the total life system of this planet, evolved with others of the animal kingdom - thus, we have eyes, ears, limbs etc., just as other animals.
