Free will is not a "right to sin." If it were, it would mean that we all have a right to murder, right to steal, and a right to bugger each other. If you think God gave you those rights, you are sadly mistaken. God has given us the freedom to choose good or evil, not a right to choose evil.

Let's say that everyone has free will and that free will means exactly what it says - everyone has the "right" to choose their own thoughts, feelings, actions, decisions, beliefs etc. And that they are responsible for their choices.

Btw, you never answered: do you claim to be without sin?

You, like your comrade "spunkets", are incapable of differentiating between right and ability. Rights are those expectations of fundamental respect that each person is entitled to based on their mere status as a human being created by God. Abilities are those things which you are capable of doing, and choices you are capable of making as a human being.

Thus, in order to be correct, your statement should read: "Everyone has the ability to choose their own thoughts, feelings, actions, decisions, beliefs etc. However, no one has the right to do evil (ie, transgress the revealed law of God) and the Almighty will call you to account for it."

Btw, you never answered: do you claim to be without sin?

Yes. Yes I do.
