What I see in the Bible is that God is soverign, and that man is responsible for the actions and choices he makes. I think you and I have free will; we make rational and moral choices. This is taught throughout the Bible. It seems to me, the materialist position where you don’t have these.
b-mine.
LOL, no it's not..precisely the opposite. I get that this is what -you- believe, and that's legit bud...but it's not what magic book says.
In any case, ofc we make choices. So do conveyor belts. Free will..remember, free will..fuck, it's your canard. Hard determinism says no, and so does magic book.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
