Today,
reply is on living as a free individual, the error of “free will,”
and the conflicts of will between the Creator and the created that
can be seen in various life situations on the earth. Divine law and
sacred operations must exist among the many individuals on the earth
for there to be balance, focus, and peace. Examples include death
that ends conflict, may establish changes that endure, and may
provide closure and finality. Without humility, love, meekness,
nonviolence, respect, and restraint, only the imbalance and tension
are dominant and visible that exists between the process and
substance of the flesh, and that of the Spirit. In addition to
immature, self-contradicting, and underdeveloped followers of the
Lord who generate disagreements and upheaval, there are impenitent
sinners who continue iniquity and wickedness because they do not want
to praise GOD, and instead they want to be praised. Such must come
to a mature acceptance that their own existence and life can not be
eternal unless they become Christ-like, and willingly receive a fresh
endowment of spirit content from the makeup of GOD. It is written:
Romans 13: 1-10, King James Version (KJV): 1 Let every soul be
subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore
resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that
resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a
terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid
of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of
the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if
thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword
in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute
wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be
subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for
this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render
therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any
other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to
his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

If
God gives us free will, why do we still go to Hell for using it to
follow our own path?
If
God is testing us, are we really living as a free individual, or does
he pick our destiny.
Update:
If we choose to follow God, we go to Heaven, if we choose to use our
free will given by God, we go to Hell. Does this make any sense?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered
willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the
LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with
great joy. Wherefore David blessed the LORD
before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou,
LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the
power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that
is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is
the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head
above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou
reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and
in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto
all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious
name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we
should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things
come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. For we are
strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our
fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there
is none abiding. (1st Chronicles 29: 9-15, King
James Version (KJV)

in the same way there are recurring conditions and fixed patterns
mankind must acknowledge as mechanical and physical law that govern
existence and life on the earth, there are unchanging requirements
through sacred law that serve as inseparable aspects of life for the
operations of self-will (willpower) among created beings and living
creatures. Where two or more wills and self-centeredness are
present, conflict may arise that is concluded only by the fulfillment
of mortality. Jesus Christ has appeared on the earth to provide new
opportunities and possibilities that human will be released from
conflict and spiritual confusion. Personhood and will within mankind
are to reflect the image of divine fullness (we also say, divinity;
the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit). Even so, for
now, human will must remain limited, finite, and temporal. Despite
having unseen aspects of mind and their using a separate physical
form, the living must depend on one another for survival. There must
be levels of agreement and accord among the living that remain in
place throughout their communication, exchange, and interaction. The
effects generated through the operations of sin promote
self-destruction, nonexistence, violence, and a return to the
conditions of chaos and flux that were in place before the foundation
of heaven and earth. Sin has not been put forth by the Creator, and
is no spirit substance. The operations of sin are contrary to both
divine and human nature, yet, sin may dominate awareness and
willpower in the living. Sin opposes the continued existence of
divine law, the Lawgiver, and the full universe maintained through
divine order. Sin generates the expression of covetousness, desire,
envy, lust, exaggerated pride, and selfishness. Rather than “free
will” or self-will, developing and mature Christian believers are
endowed to practice oneness without sameness and self-government that
conforms to the sovereign will of GOD. Consider again the following
that uses language from the Bible, and a presentation from the music
ministry of Steve Amerson:
1.
John 1: 10-14, King James Version (KJV): 10 He was in the world,
and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He
came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
2.
Matthew 26: 41, KJV: 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak.
3.
Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind
the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the
things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended (for example, 4.

Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto
you according to your faith.
