Man is in control.

That would be an error in the other extreme. "God is omnipotent; He created man with free will" is I think the starting point. There is a great deal of possibility for paradox and veering one way or the other within this, but IMHO, it's ending up at one extreme or the other that lets you know you have built upon an error somewhere.

Thanks very much for your reply..

I don't find "free will" in my Bible, but I do find predestination.

However, as I am writing this to you, I am doing it of my own free will, and yet, at the same time, it was predestined by God. That is the apparent paradox.

Grace and Peace.
