HD: We know however our prayers are answered, it is what God wants. The attitude we must understand is it what we want.
When our prayers are fulfilled, we only know that they are acceptable to God. We know what we want; we also know that it's not always acceptable to God.
Kosta: God gave Adam limited freedom. He could eat from whatever tree but one. Human free will is a biblical truth.

His freedom was truly free except for that one tree. Limited freedom is still true freedom, HD.
