However, you have yet to define free will....

I have yet to say what the definition of "is" is, either. I just don't follow the purpose of these discussion when it degenerates into people attempting to redefine commonly used words and terms.

free will
Function: noun
Date: 13th century
1 : voluntary choice or decision I do this of my own free will
2 : freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention

Does this mean that the Almighty must keep His hands off of all His creation, especially His created "dirt"? I guess the Apostle Paul has absolutely no free will; neither did Isaiah or Jeremiah; etc.

"2 : freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention"

While my Webster's New Dictionary contains this same secondary definition, do you really think that it has application when speaking of theological matters?

Can we discuss Biblical theology without accounting for "divine intervention"? Just the fact thatGod has revealed Himself in His Word is a "divine intervention".
