I do not see how I can make this any clearer.

Christ, would you relax? I didn't remember you saying that.
I'm not uptight, I said you didn't read my post to you, how hard could it have been to find. I found it to make sure of exactly what I had said.
Asmodee Wrote:What you are saying is that free will is both vitally important and not very important at all.
No, you are reading that into my statement an atheist strategy to avoid the truth. If you would go back and read my first post to you you would see how important free will is. Free will can't be important and unimportant to a person. It's one or the other.
Asmodee Wrote:And before Jesus existed, free will didn't exist. Nobody could choose to accept or reject a savior before he existed and nobody was expected to. So, early on, free will was also not at all important to God.
Jesus has always existed, the Hebrew's have been expecting Him when the exile began. God has always existed and the acceptance of Him is through free will. Free will was so important to God from the beginning that He allowed Adam and Eve to choose to disobey Him. He wasn't going to interfere with perfect love. Adam and Eve chose to destroy that relationship.
Asmodee Wrote:I think you are a bit confused as to the nature of free will. Free will is the ability to act freely according to my own will. What you're talking about is the ability to make one single, extremely specific choice.
I'm very clear on what free will mean, if you had read the first post I made to you you would know what I was saying. So try reading it.

I owe you an apology, I confused my posting to Aurora with posting to you, I'm sorry. The post I refer to is #19.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
