Does God have free will?
There is a debate on whether humans have free will or whether everything is preconditioned. In psychology you have the behaviorists. In theology you have the Five Point Calvinists. It is a good question.
How does that apply to God, assuming you believe in God. Can God really do anything He wants or is He locked in. When you think that the God of the Bible exists outside time and does not move through it like we do, you wonder how much choice He has. He sees the entire span of existence. He knows what was, was is and what will be. Can He change anything or is He trapped in the unfolding?
This would be a consideration in the discussion of miracles as well as salvation.
Sorry. My mind goes off on strange tangents at times. I feel like God pats me on the head and says, “There, there, you will be fine after a nice nap.”
