“”There is no such thing as “free will”. There is only God’s will or sin.””

This and your scripture twisting makes no sense.
It makes humans and the whole angelic world one big game being played by God with Himself.

Without the ability to choose love,everything is forced on us.

From...
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c1p7.htm

Freedom put to the test

396 God created man in his image and established him in his friendship. A spiritual creature, man can live this friendship only in free submission to God. The prohibition against eating “of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” spells this out: “for in the day that you eat of it, you shall die.”276 The “tree of the knowledge of good and evil”277 symbolically evokes the insurmountable limits that man, being a creature, must freely recognize and respect with trust. Man is dependent on his Creator, and subject to the laws of creation and to the moral norms that govern the use of freedom.

The above Catechism reveals the TRUTH.

Time for work.

I wish you a Blessed day!

HD-“”There is no such thing as “free will”. There is only God’s will or sin.””

StF-This and your scripture twisting makes no sense.

Let's put it this way; what would you rather do God's will or your will?

God created man in his image and established him in his friendship.

God created man for His glory.
