Why is it your fault since you deny free will?

When I follow the Lord's will, I'm find. When I follow my will I fail, but the Lord will guide me back to the right path. There is no "free will". There is only the Lord's will and my will.

Sounds to me like you are following only your will in either case and then decide "whose" will you were following based on the outcome.

And how will the Lord guide you back to the right path? Will he force you against your will, and if so, whey does he let you stray to begin with?

Thanks for your post:

When I follow the Lord's will, I'm fine. When I follow my will I fail, but the Lord will guide me back to the right path.

I swear, Harley, when I discuss free will with you, I feel like I'm watching a man walking around claiming he is lame.

I think the question is one of how can there be sin without free will? The only world views I know of that deny free will are Calvinism and modern materialistic determinism; in the latter, of course, the concept of sin does not exist.

you know that is a very good point HD. Jesus had no free will, He came to do the Father's will. And he said, whoever does the will of my Father, is my brother, sister, etc. A Christian should be proud to acknowledge that they have no 'free will"
