The existence of free will as proposed by the bible (Cont.debate)

Actually, I feel I need to clarify my statements. I said that God knows what will happen in the future, without error. God knows what will happen and knows with accuracy, but it doesn't mean things must happen that way. In other words, just because God knows the future doesn't mean it's the only possible outcome. It will happen that way, but it doesn't mean that it must. It could have happened another way, but if it did then God would know. I hope this makes it more clear. There are punishments for sins, and there are rewards for doing good. If we sin and die in our sins, we will go to Hell for eternity. Every person is on this path. It is not God's will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). However, God does not force anyone to love Him or to repent. If He did, then He would be choosing whom to save and whom to let suffer eternally in Hell. God knows who will believe in Him and who won't, but He doesn't force anyone to choose salvation. The choice is ultimately ours to make. So no, while every choice comes with a reward or punishment, not every choice comes with the same outcome. There is still nothing conflicting in my statements. Humans are inherently moral and rational creatures, but not every accepts the same standard of morality. While my parents taught me to respect the Bible and God's morality, an atheist will teach their kids not to believe in a god because to them, it is foolish. We may have certain morals in common (for instance, a Christian an atheist will both believe that murder is wrong), but a Christian will believe that fornication is wrong whereas an atheist will see nothing wrong with it. We all have the ability to reason (to decide for ourselves that path our lives should take), and we all have an inherent moral code (commonly referred to as a "conscience"). You can inherit morality from places other than your parents. For instance, an atheist who comes to faith in Christ will draw their morality from the Scriptures. Also, if no parents are around, there is always the legal guardian, other family members, or friends. Everyone gets their morality from somewhere, and even if they don't have a good example of morality in their lives, everyone still has the inherent ability to know whether something is right or not. You are seeing conflicts in my statements where there are none. Free choice has nothing to do with morality. Even someone with no moral compass at all still has the freedom to choose their actions. But morality can affect how you choose. For instance, a happily married man who doesn't believe adultery is wrong may go out and sleep with another woman. Or he may still choose to be faithful to his wife because he has no desire to sleep with other women. Whereas a Christian should never decide to sleep with another woman because adultery is a sin, but there are still Christians who do it. Morality affects your decisions to act on your free will, but it has no bearing on free will in and of itself. Morality is not required to make a free choice. I agree that there is huge injustice in this world. But that doesn't negate free will. Good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people. It's just a part of life. A very unfortunate part of life. This still doesn't negate free will. One can have the will to do something, even if their means prevent it. I am saying that there may be times in which our freedom to choose is taken away from us, but this doesn't mean the freedom to choose does not exist. We don't have to be completely free in every choice we make in order for free will to exist. Sometimes our means prevent us from doing or having what we want to have, and sometimes we are forced or coerced into making a choice we would not have made otherwise. But this doesn't mean that we are never free to choose anything. As this is our final round, I have responded to my opponent's objections and didn't add any new arguments to the mix. I believe I have shown that we do indeed have free will, even with the Christian God in the equation. There may be times when we can't choose because our means prevent it, or that we are forced or coerced into making a choice we would not have made otherwise, but the person taking our choice away had the choice of whether to take our choice away or not. If we find ourselves in a situation in which we really have no choice, this does not mean that we are never free to choose. Again, I thank the Instigator for issuing this challenge and the reader for your consideration in this matter.
