Re 2891

He draws a large circle that he labels Gods will , within it he draws a much smaller circle that he labels free will or human liberty .

He then explains that most things are Gods and Gods alone. But within that He allows us to exercise our free will. That would be things like choosing schools , occupations , spouses , where we will live etc. But then he notes that our free will choices are completely within the larger circle that is Gods will.

This is a trivialization of the entire concept. It's like saying your toddler can choose between spaghetti or the chicken nuggets on the kids' menu. It has nothing to do with the larger questions.

Like whether or not your child will get the Happy Meal toy he or she wants?
