I heard an interesting question the other day,
Someone asked is God's will linear i.e. that is will is we do that one thing and if we don't we are not in His will. I didn't answer that guy but it made me think and I can bravely say no.
When David conducted the census against God's command. God sent the prophet Nathan with a choice of threee punishment for David...three..had he chose either one....it would have been in fulfillment of God's will though they all have different consequences from the others.
This reminded of the fantasy adventure game books my brother used to read like the Lone Wolf Manakai. In it he is given the choices and they all have different consequences and will affect his quest but the choices and effects are determined by the author long before. Likewise I see God in the same position in His infinite wisdom He has mapped out all the choices and consequesnces so in effect He has pre-determined everything like the author..no one else can give input....yet the reader has the choice..so also we the beings with free-will...and the Bible is like the clue book or cheat book that provides the strategy so that you get the best results...not that you won't be scratch but with as much of your life-points and treasure as is possible.
