If God values free will...

[Paidion]

Like I’ve said before - I think - LFW and determinism are just concepts we use to interpret situations; as well, they serve to reinforce a theology we’ve already chosen.

It’s my feeling that either ‘extreme’ locks a person into philosophical/theological knots that cannot be solved. For that reason I don’t take sides or make it an issue that divides people.

For me, it’s common-sensical to believe that we have ‘free-will enough’ to do our duty and to love our neighbor. About the rest of it I have no real opinion.

Dave, did you write this from your own free will, or were you fated to write it?

Yes.
