Free will doesn't exist.

Repeating a stupid statement will never make it true. Your statement means that none of you have a choice as to coming here, or what to have for dinner or whop to marry.

That is justification for "The Devil made me do it."

We are all individually responsible for our own actions or inactions. We are responsible for our thoughts and what we do with them.

God does not, can not, and will not, ever force us to love Him, that is not Agape, that is slavery.

Not true.

Saying that people don’t have free will doesn’t mean we don’t have will or that we don’t make choices or that we’re not accountable for the choices we make.

However, the concept of free will is found nowhere in Scripture. OTOH, Scripture tells us that we are either slaves to sin or slaves to God.

Hold this thought...
