Subject: Not my will? |
Bible Note: Greetings Bartay! I have heard many definitions of free will, but this one is new to me! :-) My understanding of free will has always been fairly simple. Obviously, there are many things in life that one cannot choose. One cannot choose when one is born, or where! One cannot choose many of the circumstances which occur during ones life - if I could, I would have scripted my life much differently! :-) However, free will does not mean that one is all-powerful. It simply means that circumstances alone, nor God, compels me to do something against my will. Thus, man can choose to obey God or disobey God. However, man cannot escape the consequences of those choices. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
