All? No - Just the ones in this thread - and even then it's taking up
too much of my time. As I tried to elaborate on before, if I went
back in time a minute or a day or whatever and knew that you decided
to post this message, how could that knowledge in any way affect your
decision to do so? You seem to imply that because God has the power
to do pretty much anything that we could and would control you like a
puppet, but that is directly contradictory to what He says about Himself.
You could say that God values free will more than anything.

Well none of the Bible was written until well after Adam and Eve
were dead, and if by Morals you mean God, then I'd agree. :-)
