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.

Contradictory statements. Prots can’t it both ways.

Well, I think we are slaves to whatever controls us. If sin controls us, then we are slaves to it. If God controls us, then we are slaves to Him. That, I think is a day by day, minute by minute deal. I have victory over sin, but sometimes I don't, and sometimes I stress out over it. When I was in a certain works based religion, I didn't even have any desire to have victory over sin. Now I do, even though I don't have as much victory over sin as I wish I did. 😇
