The truth is, God does not respect our moral freedom because wedon't have such freedom in the first place! For"Very truly I tell you," Jesus told the unbelieving Jesus,"everyone who sins is a slave to sin" (Jn. 8:34 NIV; see also Rom. 6:20 & 2 Pe. 2:19).If we have anyfreedomof our own apart from the liberty that comes from Christ (Jn. 8:36), it is but a freedom onlyfrom righteousness(Rom. 6:20 KJV).
Bilang mga makasalanan, tayong lahat ay pawang mga maruruming putiklamang na ang kapalaran (o destiny) ay nakasalalay sa mabuting pasiya ng matuwid na Magpapalayok.. Hindi kasalanan ng Diyos kung bakit tayo napa-alipin sa Kasalanan at naging mga maruruming putik sa kaniyang harapan; kagagawan natin yun! (Ecc. 7:29; Rom. 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3).
