Slaves can and do rebel.
And just because God can do something does not mean He does.


not sure of your point? are we disagreeing?

my point is that free will is not absolute, independent of out side influences.

Probably we are disagreeing because your arguments provide no foundation for your statement that free will is not absolute.

We can be "slaves to sin" and still do good of our own free will. So being a slave to sin does not negate free will.

God knows what we are going to do before we do it but that also has nothing to do with free will. Knowing what someone will do does not mean they have not chosen freely to do it.
