1 | Freewill before the fall? | Gen 2:9 | kalos | 126116 | ||
Free will is not a biblical term 'Many people misunderstand the concept of "free will," which is not a biblical term. The reality is that while we have the ability to make truly significant choices, we don't have truly "free" will. You cannot, for example, choose to wake up tomorrow morning in China when you go to bed in Chicago. Or wake up speaking Chinese when all you know is English. You cannot choose to be a different gender than what God made you. (Yes, I'm aware of sex-change operations and know people who've had them--we're not even going there! [smile]) But we can make choices that make a difference: for example, in our attitudes, in who we marry and most importantly, which God we serve. We have limited freedom in our choices, and God does not force us to choose things His way; He respects our choices. But we do not have totally free will.' ____________________ http://www.probe.org/docs/e-freewill.html |

Agreed, 1000 percent. Freedom of choice, but not always of circumstance. Theo-Minor P.S. I had a long night. I didn't mean to blow at you. For whatever reason your last response to me struck a nerve. Please forgive. |
