The concept of free will should actually be choices. We are subject to things that keep the flesh alive, such as food. We have choices what to eat, but no free will to not be hungry. The same applies in other areas of our life. There is a need or desire, then choices on whether to pursue them, when, and how. The only one with free will is God because he knows the end from the beginning. Mankind needs God’s will in himself in order for his will to be free. At least, that’s my opinion. 🙂
And a good opinion indeed. If more people would follow God’s will then perhaps there would be far less hatred and violence in this world. Having free will does not mean that we should always act on it to the detriment of others, though sadly we see that far too often. Thanks Xena. 🙂
Destiny had many blanks to be filled by free will and vice versa.
Agreed, thank you my friend. 🙂
Perhaps a little of both? Fate shows us the path, but our free will determines if we take it.
I think it is a little of both actually. 🙂
I believe God is “large and in charge”! 😀 Lol.
No arguments from me. 🙂
