Godly enslavement

[Classik]

Are we trully God's puppets? (goes a curious question). From the perspective of an unbeliever are TRUE Christians God's puppets?

...and from your own views are you HIS puppet?

No because a puppet does what his master tells them by force, they have no choice. We are not forced to follow God, we want to and we love doing it

Thanks A good POV

A true Christian loves the Lord with all his heart, mind, and soul, and loves his neighbor as himself. Beyond that, we are free to do what we wish. It is a great life.

Yeah! In order words: If you love God you must obey Him

Yes, but he doesn't dictate our every decision. He just wants us to be unselfish. He doesn't tell me I have to sit down and read a book. I can do whatever I want to do as long as I don't behave selfishly.

I like the idea. :yes It would make things easier.
Most of my prayers could be considered as a plea to God to make me His puppet. I'd imagine that would be an enjoyable way to exist.

We probably become God's puppets sometimes without even noticing it. Or we notice it only a while afterwards.
But I'm very certain that God often works through our hands or speaks through our words.
Calling us His puppets is a very negative way of putting it though.

Thanks for that reply. A person who God makes His puppet (altho He doesn't force you) is eternally blessed - because God will offer the best. No errors at all

...And at times, honestly, God uses FORCE (and usually when we appear so stubborn...or about to perish or enter into one huge problem or the other).
