Free Will?
Do we really have free will?
I heard an interesting take on that question a few days ago.
I can choose what to eat for breakfast. I can choose what to wear to work. I can choose to go to college.
But I can’t wake up tomorrow morning and CHOOSE to be the President of the United States of America.
So do I have free will, or limited will?
you have free will to go to college and go into politics and compete for the job. Free will imo is simply to follow Christ and His commands or not. He will not force your hands, he might make the path ahead rough but will not make you love Him.
You can freely pursue becoming the President when you are called to be a missionary…you can freely jump off a bride, quit your job, etc.
Guess it could be limited will in perspective of we have Free Will in Christ…but our wills limitations is determined by our decisions in life.
The way it was being explained is that only God truly has free will, as he can do what He wants, when He wants, and that because our lives are predetermined by Him we really don't have free will but just the illusion of free will. I really don't have an favorite in the argument because I can see where each side is coming from. That's why I tell people I believe in both predestination and free will in Christ, and am really confused at times.
Oh, and I can jump off a bride?
I see a Ron White joke in there.
lol…if you want. Yeah probably not the best example. this comments looks much better than it did last night. *shrugs* May I suggest like a 10 ft bridge…that way it will still be fun but not dangerous.
