Explain God's Meaning in This Passage: "I Could No More

question 27

Essay

Explain God's meaning in this passage: "I could no more choose to give you free will than I could choose to make an equilateral triangle equiangular. I could choose to make or not to make an equilateral triangle in the first place, but having chosen to make one, I would then have no choice but to make it equiangular." To this the mortal responds, "I thought you could do anything!" To which God says, "Only things which are logically possible."
