Ah, I see. LIMITED freedom is still freedom. "If the Son sets you free1, you will be free indeed." 1 Does not include eating from certain trees within the Garden, disobeying the 10 commandments, or pulling wings off butterflies. Void where prohibited by law.

HD, our freedom is real and limited. It is not that we can't act against God's will, it is that we mustn't.

We are NOT free to sin HD, Reformed heresy notwithstanding. We are free to do anything but sin.

You can’t say you free will and then say that it’s limited. Why did God put the tree in the Garden anyway if He knew man would sin?
