The desire isn't regarding himself
We've been over this
No, God is not unable to achieve, he chooses not to allow himself to achieve to safeguard free-will.
its not about Lord himself
No.
its purly about us
So god does desire us to follow his desires?
Wdym?
God desires us to follow his desires, and following necessitates free will
On gods view it would be a better world if we did everything it says we should?
God desires us to follow his desire to follow his law.
No ad hominem, just curious.
Hindu
the Lord does not have material desires only spiritual
So you believe in the circle of Samsara, then.
^ yes
Material vs immaterial desires isn’t relevant
I know, I know.
I studied the East Asian religions.
From Hinduism to Shinto.
God is not lacking anything when he desires, that's like claiming us not being pure act means God isn't pure act
What matters is the fact that a perfect being possessing a desire, which entails a potential to be out of accord with the desire, isn’t actually perfect
I already summarised it.
God isn't the subject
^
You have to address this
God has no desire for himself or anything about him
Address what?
thats irrelevant
Rather God's desire is in union with himself
it doesnt matter who you say the desire is for.
It does buddy
Yeah if god is out of accord with his desires, which he is in light of a single bad existing (-> Omni benevolence) then god isn’t fully actualized
And imperfect as well
its not, because your argument is that if he has desires then hes not perfect.
Gods only desire is that you follow natural law and worship him
You act as if time doesn't exist
