Free will boils down to having a choice. If anything interferes so that the possobility of choosing is removed then no free will.
That's not consistent.
If you define free will as having a choice, then what interferes with free will is not having a choice.
But if the possibility of not having a choice is what interferes with free will, then you have to define free will as not even having the possibility of not having a choice.
Quote:Omnipotence is the freedom to do anything. If other beings have free will then you are not omnipotent, as there are things you can't do. Therefore we either don't have free will or god isn't omnipotent, assuming, of course, god exists.
Again, to be consistent, if you define a god's omnipotence as the power to do anything, then what interferes with omnipotence will interfere with omnipotence will be something denying god the power to do something. If god has the power to interfere with our free will, but he elects not to do so, that doesn't interfere with his omnipotence. He would have to be unable to interfere before he would lose his omnipotence.
