    Lokaull,

    you say,

    Yes, logically the Judeo-Christian God has either 'created' humans with no freewill: Violation of the ten commandments then means God is not consistent, ie flawed.

    Else if we do have freewill, Gods knowledge is limited,

    I think you guys are looking at the ten commandments in a completely wrong way.

    Think of the law(and all 613 of then, not just ten) as, not something that God thought up just to test mankind, to see if he will follow or not, but as a guide as to how one should live their life.

    Consider it like this, say you raise a child, and you teach that child the difference between right and wrong and set boundaries for that child for their own protection.

    e.g. you tell that child, "don't cross the road by yourself until you are 10 years old"

    then the child at 5 years old crosses the road.

    You punish the child, not because they disobeyed you, but because you could see the danger and you wanted only to protect the child.

    The same principle applies to the Law of God, it is there for your benefit, as a guide on how to live your life and receive blessings, not as a tool to be used against you.

    if you view the law as there for your protection, not to be used against you, then you will see that there are no inconsistencies.
