Quote:
Medini:
If the act is not completely free, then it is inherent to G-d, and your "G-d" is essentially dependent, requiring that act in His very essence. In either case, you are left with either an act that is not and can not be G-d or with a "G-d" that is finite,...


I think your concept of the Nature of God is that He must be absolutely free, absolutely independent; otherwise He cannot be God.

On the dependency of God.

Is God absolutely Independent? No. This is a greek philosophical rational ('cold') idea of God.
God freely chose to be bound and dependent from eternity: it is part of His nature of love.

1.God is bound by Love.
Jer 31:1 - 40, 3
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

2.God is bound by Himself (swore by Himself), Ge 22:16;Jes 45:23;Jer 22:5;Jer 49:13

3.He is bound by His Word (and His Word is 'dependent' on God, to do His Will, Isa 55:11).
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever."

4.He is bound by His promises, eternally. Ps.105:8,9,10

5.He is bound by man:
because Adam and Messiah (2nd Adam) are from eternity present in the Mind of God.
because man is created in the image of God, and as such ruler of the world on behalf and in the Name of God (Gen.1).
