Choices: God gives us choices, yet still will
instruct us to ultimate pleasure. He says (paraphrased), "Go do whatever
you want and enjoy it all, except that tree over there will kill you and bring
pain and suffering. You don't want it, trust me, I know. Everything else is
fair game." At this point there wasn't better and best, there was just AMAZING!
and death.
This seems like a "duh" statement, but think about everything we've considered. God is everything that's good. He wants us to have what is good. He likes pleasure and wants us to have pleasure. He won't force it on us but will give us the choice to choose it or not. The option out side of awesome is death and everything that will lead to death. If we grasp these ideas and statements and knew them deep in our heart, then we wouldn't blame God for many thing but instead we would thank Him for being so good to us and giving us these things. We also wouldn't be as rebellious or argue with Him when He says He want us to do something. We would gladly jump on it and go "Heck yes! More pleasure! Less death! I chose that!" Yet, He lets us choose. He really is as good as it gets.
