Yes, and to the extent that we love Him, we don't want to disobey.Can anyone who loves him really do anything in opposition to His will, or that He cannot work out for the ultimate good of those who Love Him...?
Yes they are. God cannot will that a child be raped and tortured-or I guarantee you that heaven should be no better than hell. But He can will that we have the freedom to do whatever we want and are physically capable of, for a time until He no longer allows evil and good to coexist.I don't think so, now maybe God's will has multiple paths or wills, but doesn't He already know those paths, or what we are gonna choose, long before even making us or anything really...? Made us and Made us the way we are anyway, full well knowing all that would happen and follow, clear to the end and new beginning again, or new beginnings again...
Allows and causes are not two independent things when talking about God, or the way God see's them in respect to Himself...
Of course not, ideally we should love them in fact. The point I was making is that man has a sense of justice which should not be denied and we don't operate like robots, mechanically sending criminals to jail for practical reasons only. We can and should recognize and hate evil/sin when we see it, without hating the sinner.Are you saying we should hate them, and then what, star maliciously mistreating them and/or abusing them, maybe even torturing them next...? then come up with ever more creative ways and means to torture after that...?
