I never understood entirely; does he mean to say that free will is defied as he explains because the bible says so, and that free will has no other meaning?
I took it in a different way: I thought he was saying that there was biblical free will and, well, real free will.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.
