"Originally posted by oldskool79 The idea that the earth was flat was an `` accepted `` principle as well . There is no verse that I know of that ever claims man has `` free will `` . In fact , the Bible actually says that before you can even choose to follow God he must first choose you ."
"Well its not much of a religious debate to me when it comes to free will . I believe the Bible fully supports the idea of free will and even assuming that it says nothing at all , based on the way some things go it is hard to believe a good God would not only allow it to happen , but to make it happen is even worse . I mean , what else is there ? If we do n't have free will and God is the ultimate power , then he must be the one making decisions for us . Ca n't blame the Devil for everything . Nah I guess you could , but that would n't make God sound too good either if he was letting all of his prized creations have their fake lives destroyed by a demon ."
