I believe in one God, but I do not adhere to any organized religious belief -- Depending on where I am, I occasionally go to Mass, Mosques, and Temples because I find the atmospheres pleasant and conducive to thinking -- Your self-description from your profile page sort of negates your ability to speak for the doctrine of free will as found in the Bible...trying to figure out the mind of Christ without knowing him personally is sort of like trying to fix a 1972 Toyota Corolla with a 1947 Studebaker repair manual...

I'm not very good at auto repairs. I never speak of anything as found in the bible, unless it's a useful quote or anecdote. I do not know what the doctrine of free will is, whether from the bible or otherwise. I was merely responding to your comments. Does a person that has never heard of Christ have free-will?
