Subject: Free Will |
Bible Note: 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.
