Why didn't he make all living things vegetarian? I could so easily be vegetarian if I didn't like meat so much. Seriously though, nature is so cruel, and for an animal lover such as myself, it is difficult to see animals killing other animals, and we humans slaughtering creatures.

Car54: If you could ask God only ONE question, what would you ask Him? To my bros and sis in Christ. Much love
Here is my question, and yes, I am a believer, and yes, I believe in ‘eternal security’. However, this is valid, so bear with me:
You (God) gave me Free Will. You want me to have it. But if I were to use it, and You didn’t like how I used it, I would be in danger of Hellfire, and many Christians adamantly believe this, too. Now, why would You give me a gift I cannot use, or that has an untenable outcome if I do? (Conditional Free Will is an oxymoron. It can’t be both ways)....

I know exactly what you mean, my friend. You touch upon a very important topic and maybe the best question to ask Him ever and something to ponder upon for a long time.

Thank you for validating. I want you to know something: I hesitate to either verbalize or put into print these kinds of comments because I’m acutely sensitive about not wishing to insult and/or be condescending to Him. But the mortal ‘man’ within me fully celebrates and embraces my academic and spiritual mind, which was also freely and willingly given to me, and my very active research engine is put in gear. In the final analysis, I firmly believe He’s fine with this. (Why go to the trouble of creating brain cells if they’re not to be used?)
