3 | Free Will | Gen 1:1 | YenIsaRap | 218872 | ||
Dear Doc In my endeavor to define (free will) for the purpose of qualifying my question. I submit the following definitions on the grounds, they have been the definitions most widely used in the study of the bible. I concede the definitions used, are in relation to human beings, for there are none for angels, but for the purpose of further discussion, and understanding. I ask that these be accepted as valid definitions for the purpose for which they are to be used. If you have definitions for these two words, that would be better suited for this discussion, I ask that you submit them so that they could be used in place of the ones I am posting. The words themselves, and their definitions are part of the reason the question was asked in the first place. Free: Strong's no. G-1658 Unrestrained (to go at pleasure), that is, (as a citizen) not a slave (whether freeborn or manumitted), or (generally) exempt (from obligation or liability): - free (man, woman), at liberty. Will: Strong's no. G-2307 A determination (properly the thing), that is, (actively) choice (specifically purpose, decree; abstractly volition) or (passively) inclination: - desire, pleasure, will. Thank you for your reply Be Blessed YenIsaRap |

Scripture ... Philemon 1:14 "but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will" ... The word used for free will is hekousion (Strong's 1595) meaning voluntary. It is the neuter of a derivative from of hekon (Strong's 1635). One definition is unforced. It is used twice (Rom 8:20, 1Co 9:17). In Hebrew it is bechirah chofshit. The issue of free will has benn debated a long time, and many times at the SBF. Read what has been posted on this subject and please don't continue the discussion, even if it just with angels, unless it is by email. Searcher |
