I still maintain that freewill cannot exist in light of the biblical God. I'm speaking more to the point of what you claim the Bible has to say about freewill. You have claimed that the Bible insists that human beings are responsible for the choices they make. If there were biblical support that humans are not so responsible, would you accept it?

Yes, we are responsible for the choices that we make. I am guessing, that you are going to reference God hardening the heart of Pharaoh or something like that. This doesn't mean that it wasn't his choice, was overridden. Also, this would be referencing an instance, where the contrary is implied to be the norm.
I actually had a New Testament reference in mind, but no matter - you've answered the question. Thank you.
