God the Father

[Nelson Chocha]

Killing Abel is a fictional description of a loving Father and His children founded on what little is disclosed in the Bible, in the book of Genesis.

What is your opinion on the context of this book in relation to the description of God, "God the Father is limited by His children's actions and His Children are limited by His actions as well"?.

Personally, I don't find the idea fascinating. It sound weird to me.

I wouldn't say. This book touches the fundamentals of the Christian religion in relation to other fiction. This fiction can be misleading to non-religious people who won't be able to define where the fiction lies.

[Amy Murdoch Coleman]

It sounds like very uncommon theology. Much of the foundation of Christianity rests on the building block of God being an omnipotent, omniscient Creator. The interpretation that I would glean from this statement that still fits widely accepted Christian theology would be that God is limited only in the knowledge that he has given His children free will. He CAN step in, but He doesn't always because people are free to make their own choices. It is a controversial statement to connect to a book that hinges on religion.

I think God has given man a free will to make their own choices and may be that's where He gets limited. Nonetheless, it sounds like a confusing statement to discuss much about.

[Kaitlyn Canedy]

The idea makes sense if one has an understanding of the Bible and how God treats His children. God provides unconditional love to us, which is why I say this.

I agree with you 100%!

I think that even religious people will have a little trouble as its very smoothly written. Don't think there's any harm in asking why or saying what if? The film Noah did alot more damage to a vital and important part of scripture.

[spencermack]

I'm a little confused by the quote. Humans are limited but those are the constraints we put on ourselves beyond religion. It is hard to perceive that someone with all power can be limited by a human action. Maybe that's the point.

[Cynthia_Oluchi]

I don't find it any weird. God has given banking freedom of choice. He doesn't walk or work with you without your consent—this way, he is limited.

[MorganKnightOfficial]

It's quite an odd sentiment. I would think it to be the opposite: that our actions are given more freedom of movement by God. Freedom, of course, being defined as freedom within doing what is right.

I agree. The statement can be difficult to interpret or be misunderstood too.

I totally agree.

This is very true, and this statement is very controversial.
The statement is very sweeping and dangerous but your explanation does it justice.

In my place, there is a saying that nothing happens without gods approval. So, maybe god's sons do what he planned for them to do, without even realising it!
