The bible actually teaches both Predestination and absolute free will. The predestination folks just have to twist the interpretation of some verses to suit their needs.

The absolute free-will folks have to ignore other verses.

Deal with it.

Well, so long as you agree that all Fallen Men, without God's prior and purely-monergistic Regeneration of their Dead and God-hating Spirits, will Absolutely, always and only, Freely Choose to REJECT God -- then you correctly understand the Bible's doctrine of Absolute Free Will.

Which is the same as the Calvinist Doctrine of Free Will, since John Calvin's doctrine of Predestination and Free Will was simply that of the Bible.
