In response to Dr. Paul Brand’s statement, would you exchange your freedom to choose in order to enjoy freedom from pain?
-
I would not exchange my freedom to choose in order to enjoy freedom from pain. Sometimes, God can use our pain to bring us or others closer to Himself. Our pain also provides us with opportunities for God to be glorified.

It would be right ot have the freedom of choice than to live a life without any choices
-
I cannot imagine not having free choice, the agony over never being truly free, what an awful, robotic, sensless life. We can learn so much more about ourselves through our pain and suffering, building character and hopefully a better person because of it. No, I do wish any of pain on anyone and I could use a little less than what I have experienced. But it has brought me closer to God and made me more in awe of Him when it does happen
-
There are times when I think I would. I know the man in the video said no one has ever chosen that, but if I could choose to lose my freedom and never cause another person pain or feel pain wouldn’t it be worth it? Plus, if I give my freedom to God, who is a good God, then wouldn’t he always choose good for me? Making choices is a constant burden when we make the wrong ones. So, is choosing no freedom the same as choosing perfection? The downside is that no freedom would also equal no relationship.

Although having no pain would be wonderful, having no freedom of choice would take the joy out of our lives as well. I wouldn’t want to live a life where every step is directed.
