Is their flying ability limited by gravity ? Am I free to go swimming in a pool? If I go swimming am I bound only to the the water ? Or can I swim among the reeds of grass ? Is an American's freedom of speech bound by borders ? Can we indeed say absolutely anything we want within that geographical location ? Consider the various views on the freedom of the will in the last 2000 years. Read Augustine, Pelagius, Luther, J.Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, C. Finney How free are free range chickens ?

But i can see you reject the Gift that is free and not robotic anymore than the reason you married your wife, she revealed herself to you and you loved her. If you say no then you remain unmarried that is your choice not a gift only a choice freewill is not a biblical word or a gift offered from God . the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.

WRONG! that's your opinion again! and being forgiven doesn't give us a free pass to do whatever we want. We have to truly be sorry for what we have done ask forgiveness, and have a relationship with god. its not about what we have done, its about knowing god and trying to be as much like Jesus as we possibly can. your arguments are not arguments but ignorant rants based on flawed logic. do research! justice demands that the same crimes warrant the same punishment,regardless of who commits it?

God has no freewill he cannot change what he knows will happen and you cannot do other than what God knows you will do. No boundaries involve. just no freewill. @truth1920 Yes He made you do it b/c that action was already created (foreknowledge)otherwise God would have a less than perfect foreknowledge.

He decided to set the boundaries, yet gave me the wiggle room within those boundaries. @quebec10000 So basically it is a decision within a decision.Just because he knew you would do it, doesn’t mean he made you do it.
