Question

Help answer this question below.

The Bible teaches that God is good by nature, but all humans have the free will to turn away from Him and be sinful. By this logic, wouldn't sin be impossible if humans didn't have free will, therefor making human free will the root of all evil?

    I don't think God wanted a bunch of programmed robots, but he wanted friends (in a way), so he gave us free will. It was a gift, often miss-used.
    Even though our own children have some free will, still they complain we are too strict. How much more we would have complained and ranted and raved if God had forced us be good and sweet and compassionate and doing community service and donating our time and money all the time.
    I'm sure he'd rather answer prayers than customer service gripes.
    If the Bible falls apart, it's because mere men interpreted what God said in translation, which was originally inspired and totally true.
    Now, if women had written the Bible, things would have kept much more in line with what God intended in the first place.
