Deliverance and divine interventions that determine human behavior are a topic, today, along with more on freewill. The “Yahoo! Answers” writer using ID “Kush” (Level 1 with 1 point, a member since June 24, 2013) posted the following:
Why do Christians say god stopped or saved “them”from doing this or that?
…..THAT’S SIMPLY CRAZY AND HYPOCRITICAL!
IF God created man perfect before being placed in the”garden of eden”….
And then allowed “SIN” to enter into his “perfect” garden,creation and world without doing anything,
Why would he care if you “sinned” or not now?…
HE forfeited it in the beginning when he could have stepped in and stopped them.(from sinning)…..HE IS GOD….RIGHT?,ALL POWER IS HIS NO?..YES?…WHICH ONE IS IT?
For better words,why interfere now? he should have done that in the beginning then you wouldn’t have to deal with it!…..
No matter how you try to explain it,it makes no sense!
I see what you mean by”made in his image”
BATTLE AXE: Freewill is Finite (06/30/2013)—One may have “freewill” without also having lawful authority and jurisdiction, skill as a decision-maker, privilege through membership, and so-called “rights” secured through government or political participation. For mankind, the many limits to freewill derive from the finite and conflicting natures of carnal, material, physical, social, and spiritual reality. The unsanctified attitudes and actions of created beings and living creatures that emerge from freewill can not be justified before GOD even by the ministry of Jesus Christ. Submitting to Christ, ones will is reconfigured and restructured to give expression to divine substance, sacred operations, and eternal purpose. Freewill continues to be finite within believers and followers of Christ, yet, is increasingly responsive to divine will, and appears more and more clearly as an aspect or instrument of divinity. See Deuteronomy 23: 21-23, Matthew 10: 8, Romans 6: 16-23 and 1st Corinthians 2: 11-16, King James Version.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. (Psalms 23: 1-6, King James Version)

“Kush”, here are some points important to those now living in the kingdom of GOD as believers through Jesus Christ:
(1) GOD is a spirit, and his being and make-up consists totally in divinity and sacred matter. Included are faith, holiness, longsuffering, joy, peace, wisdom, and wrath against sin. GOD is revealed to and known by created beings and living creatures only through the operation of deposits and endowments of divine spirit matter present within their own awareness and being.
(2) For mankind, the influences that determine actions, choices, beliefs and commitments are often subtle (we say, barely visible, fine and undetectable), and may go beyond the flesh (i.e., appetite, sensation, mental functions). In the same way human error and mistakes are most correctly recognized after one takes action, sin remains hidden and invisible until self-will is made manifest in action or utterance.
(3) Sin is not a carnal, material or physical thing; is not made of living substance or spirit; and is not put forth from GOD. Even so, sin may dominate self-will in created beings and living creatures. The “mystery” of sin is so great that multiple sacred mechanisms and operations have been provided to mankind as shields and tools against sin. Included are anointed leaders, covenant, divine law, forbearance, forgiveness, incarnation (i.e., the appearance of GOD among mankind in flesh), life companions in holy matrimony, priesthood, prophecy, the cross and the imparted, indwelling spirit of GOD (we say, the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Prophecy).
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4) Those who insist that their animal or angelic nature, their finite intelligence, or logic, or luck, or reason are sufficient to understand the profound truths of sovereign being, divinity and eternal life, usually do so through ignorance, immaturity, pride, and stubbornness. They reject the life of continual spirit growth, learning and new experience that must be provided by GOD.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
