Bible Note: Dear Sir Pent, I have opted for option 1, and will attempt to answer it from your original unedited form. Q1.) “Does Jerry really have a choice to walk to the store if he has been born without any legs?” Yes. He has the liberty, but because of His condition, he lacks the ability. For instance. I desire to fly like a bird rather than walk. I can choose to flap my arms in an attempt to get airborne but all for nought. I am free to try but I lack the ability. Q2.)“If the ice cream is truly irresistable, then does Tom have a real choice either?” Yes. Tom has the liberty, but lacks the desire to choose otherwise. However, Tom is free to try to resist (the testimony of many, even on this forum will attest to this fact). My question to you is: Is anyone capable of choosing contrary to his strongest desire? If so could you provide an example of how this could be? John |
