Could you define this term, "Free Will"?
What is it? How does it work?
Before Calvinists can be charged with denying "Free Will", it would be helpful to know what "Free Will" is.
So, I'm curious.... in your own words: What Is Free Will?
Thanks!!
Therefore we see at once that there cannot be any such thing as free-will; the very words are a contradiction, because will is what we know, and everything that we know is within our universe, and everything within our universe is moulded by conditions of time, space and causality. ... To acquire freedom we have to get beyond the limitations of this universe; it cannot be found here
In a nutshell, as I understand it, it would be the ability of the individual to to choose to follow or reject God; to obey or disobey at the discretion of the individual, without being forced or compelled to.
I’m sure that some will find that lacking in some area, and there are probably things I could add, given more thought, but that’s basically it.
ooh ooh! Me, teacher! Over here! [waving hand wildly]
Free will is the ability to know the good, to choose it, and to do it.
Now may I clean the erasers?
