I don't see mercy and justice as being binary incompatible.

Mercy needs justice, else it's meaningless.

Justice is satisfied even when someone else pays the bill.

But to say that there's "only one will in the universe" is the most ridiculous paradox I've ever seen.

There obviously is not only one will in the universe, otherwise there would, by definition, be no evil...all would be one as the Hindus say.

I believe that all moral beings have wills. My will is corrupted by evil desires. There are other wills that have also become corrupted.

What I do believe, however, and this is a paradox, is that ALL wills in the universe are subject to and under the sovreignty of one will - the Father's. Ultimately, His is the only will that counts, though I exercise my will with all my might and with all my power. His is the only will that is ultimately accomplished.

Originally posted by lock What is funny is those who try to hold to "free" will, admit that their will has limitations. They cannot decide when they will be born, or their nationality for instance. So I guess it would be a LIMITED "free" will. But wait, limited? Free? something is wrong here.
