Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Why Man Free Is

Once, 

To the wise, I turned to and timidly,
 
I said:

“The divine plans unable I am to understand

Let alone them to criticize

But

I beseech you, wise one, to enlighten me on just

this point only:

Why, Free Will to men, God has forever granted

at the moment, HE knew very well beforehand, Man 
 
Incapable of being his own world according to Lord’s 

Logos to create?”


“A difficult question you have put to me, my wondering friend..,” 

Retorted the wise with a smile,  

“In reality, no one would ever be able to say with certainty, what 

was God's reason, 

but I think…” He continued to say “.. that   God, having

given Man all that Man needed let him free, afterward, to do as 

he thought right,

because God, out of respect for His creation, didn’t desire any
 
restrictions upon Man to impose

For

God knew from the very start that Man able would be, in time, 

the divine law, under God’s guidance, alone fully to apply
 
in that way, my dear interlocutor, Man becomes a co-creator,

responsible for his doing, 

thus 

no one else is left there, Man to put on the blame

for 

Man is the only one responsible for the world, himself,

has made!”

Michael Tor October 10, 2015 at 3:27 PM Demetrios this is so thought provoking! Very clever thought you have shared. You are so right in this clever write. I am so glad you shared this one my friend. A 7 for the depth of wisdom this wonderful write gives us. God's wisdom can not be measured in his thought process in man's creation or in any other process he chooses in his thought process. Blessings my friend. Demetrios Trifiatis October 12, 2015 at 8:32 AM Thank you my blessed friend, Michael, for your enriching comment. Always a distinct pleasure to read your enlightening comments. Thank you!

Richard Lamoureux October 10, 2015 at 10:05 AM Free will is both a blessing and curse. In relinquishing our free will back into His hands the shackles fall from our own hands. I have no doubt of God's choices, even though I am incapable of fully comprehending them. Demetrios Trifiatis October 10, 2015 at 10:32 AM All could be a blessing or a curse, my friend, I agree! To be born could easily belong to that category. When God grants us free will we are free, period! No blame could be put on God! God is blameless.Thank you again for your contribution, dear Richard!

Richard Lamoureux October 10, 2015 at 9:15 AM This one twists the brain Demertrios, I enjoy d the excercizing of my mind. Demetrios Trifiatis October 10, 2015 at 10:00 AM I do not expect many comments on this one, Richard, but I wanted to put it on paper. Thank you for your visit and honesty. If you have difficulties imagine how few would be able to follow it! Haha! Take good care my good friend! I strongly believe that our Lord has not wasted His time with Man. On the contrary He knows that eschatologically He is right!
