Considering the idea of acting according to God's Will to be "one thing" is like considering living your life to be "one thing". You can categorize a whole bunch of things under a single title and call it "one thing", that doesn't mean it isn't also many things. How would YOU define freedom?

Your attempt at an explanation isn't worthy of doing a logic-battle with one of my worst brain farts.
The interesting thing is I'm not even trying to justify theism. I'm just speaking hypothetically about the apparent conflict between Free Will and Determinism and explaining my thoughts about how they can co-exist. I'm not interested in doing a "logic-battle" with anyone.
