Well you said you both agreed and disagreed in your first post so I guess you get the apparent contradiction.

Theologically free will is in the opposite of forced action taking away choice. Denying us the ability to choose as our mechanical processes would make us. The ability to act out our pre programming is therefore, in this sense, free will.
