Honza,

This made me think of your very first post to this thread....

"Yes God is free and because of that He needs to learn self conservation otherwise He will suffer from His recklessness."

As you now seem to realize we could insert our own names in place of God....e.g. "Yes Honza is free....Yes I am free and because of that"...etc.

That 'that' must refer to freedom. We have to use freedom wisely. If we do not as mortals this misuse can end up taking the form of self-imposed slavery. For example....we have the freedom to smoke and for some it is a way of defying the well-meant advice of others and our own knowledge and is a defiant way of asserting our freedom. By choosing this freedom we enslave ourselves to a destructive habit....in other words..."we will suffer from our own recklessness". Of course I never shared the fear that you expressed that God would act recklessly.....but your musing has provided a means to understand ourselves.
