Divine freedom

Property of a god having free will From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Divine freedom is the concept that God is a person and has free will.[1]

One argument advanced against the concept of divine freedom is that it may contradict the principle of omnibenevolence, by limiting God's choices to only actions with perfectly good consequences.[2]

According to saint Augustine of Hippo, since evil is absence of being and of perfection, the fact that God is the Highest does not limit His perfection, being, or freedom.
