Where’d the concept of free will come from? Because it’s sure not found in Scripture.

Genesis is not part of Scripture?

Adam and Eve had a choice of obeying God's command to not eat from a particular tree, or not.

They chose to eat.

It didn't end well for them.

Adam and Eve had a choice of obeying God's command to not eat from a particular tree, or not.

Yes, ADAM and EVE DID have that choice.

We don't.

We were not created sinless but were born into sin, with a sin nature that makes us slaves to sin.

It's funny that the RCC should teach the concept of *original sin* and then claim we have free will.

Adam and Eve had a choice of obeying God's command to not eat from a particular tree, or not.

It didn't end well for the whole human race and all of creation. Sin entered the world and the corruption that goes along with it.

We cannot escape sin. We have no free will.

[Gamecock]

you want to compare the prefallen staTe of man to our condition today?

Three people had free will. And and Eve, before the fall. Jesus was the other.

We are slaves to sin.
