I disagree. I lack the ability to negate the infinite and omnipotent power of God. Rather, I have been given the choice by the same God, to obey or not obey. In either case, I do so of my own free will. Otherwise, I would be an automaton.

Do you think Paul, Peter, or any of Christ’s first followers didn’t sin after Pentecost? Do you think God prevented them from sinning? Would you think they would not be Christians if they did sin?

Sure, go ahead and use your "free will" to disobey God. Let me know how long you'll like being in the belly of a fish. The record is three days.

You are either a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness.

But, "free will" is a curious thing. If you had it why wouldn't you use it 100% of the time to be obedient to God?
