I can't pretend to have the answers, either- but I know within that we all do have the answers. They are not just lying around out there waiting for us to find them.
Ok, so- Does God have Free Will? Well, if you do believe that God gave us Free Will, then He would have that Free Will to give us. He can't give us something He doesn't have (and He has (is) everything, therefore He has given us everything.)
Now, so that this may make a little more sense- (this is my Truth, just stating it, not expecting you to make it your Truth)
God's Free Will, then, is Our Free Will. Hence, we share this Free Will equally. It's like bearing a child and giving them your traits or looks.
Now- even though God may be all-knowing, He still has the Free Will to choose to experience everything. He decided that what a better way to experience it than to create offspring and have Himself be experienced through a physical manner.
You can know that if you drop a ball, it will bounce back up, but you don't know the "feeling" of it until you actually experience doing it. And there are infinite outcomes of the ball bouncing, depending on how you let it bounce, where you bounce it, and what you do when it comes back up. God knows all of that, yet chose to experience it all to "feel" it all.
Now, what may not make sense yet, is if humans have made the choice to kill, then I'm saying that God also chosen that? Well, yes, in a sense. God will not hinder on our free will to choose. Yet God would make the Highest Choice (by not killing?) but that we don't listen to that Highest Choice, often ignoring it. He lets us make these choices in order for us to experience and evolve on our own pace. If He told us what to do, we wouldn't have free will, and He wouldn't either. Then there would be no sense in the physical experience of Life. God just communicates with us in every moment of every day- and the number one way He chooses to do that (the most effective) IS experience.
And, as far as my quote: In order to know your Self, to know what "You are" you must have what "You are not".
God is all- All that Is and All that Is Not. but He wanted to experience the polarities of Himself. Therefore, that is exactly what we are doing. Experiencing Who We Are and Who We Are Not. And God is experiencing All of that through us.
Don't you think that's possible? That God chose to experience Himself, even if He is omniscient? Afterall, He is God. Why can't God Be and Do anything and everything? Then He wouldn't be omnipotent.
