Do you have FREE WILL??

[mazHur]

What is Free Will?? Do you have Free Will ? Do animals have Free Will too??
Let's see what you think about Free Will..

Here is one example..

''God created good and evil in creation, because this is a world of contrast. Without the lack of goodness (which is called evil), the existence of good become meaningless. Without the lack of light (which is called darkness), the existence of light is not communicated. Thus the Creator made everything in pair (of contrast) and opened up the possibility of accepting right and rejecting wrong, accepting good and rejecting evil, walking towards light and turning away from darkness. That is achieved due to our freewill. And those who have understanding - understands that this is the reality matrix and guarding against one aspect (darkness) and continuously rising towards the other (light) is what being human is all about which helps one recognize God (attain ma'rifa) and finally takes one to the place where one is promised the Bliss of God (Garden / Paradise), the Supreme Achievement of what is made known to us so far.''

Aren't you being a bit arrogant asking us what we think , then turning around and telling us what you think we should believe?

And doesn't this look a lot like a debate you are setting up, in a general discussion forum?

Yes Maz I have free will...we all do..but that "free" is not limitless.
Example in America a woman can marry who she wants...but she has to be of a legal age.
Many religions allow you to leave freely...not all though.
I can get a drink where I want here...its pretty cool actually
Not really sure what you are wanting to know here maz.

Does evil exist in heaven? If it doesn't, does heaven become meaningless?

Or worse yet, could the atheists be right that when we die, our souls turn into nothingness?

Interesting point.




mazHur's example begins with the claim God created evil because the world is one of contrasts.
This is GIA thinking.
The fallacy of gnostics, Islamic style ( this is why I searched for mazHur's source )

The world is a material construct of matter and energy and within it's sphere of influence is life.
This material construct in mazHur's Islamic example is argued to contain evil because it is one of contrasts.
Day and night. Light and darkness.
And yet no such element ( evil ) has been shown to exist in a material/energy form.
"Evil" is an abstract choice that only living matter can discern, as is the choice"good".
The right to chose with out influence is 'free will'.
God grants the 'free will' of choice that allows man to design the choice.
It's not God that creates evil, it's the choice of man.
