Proof please, I've been asking yet have not seen it, post some names and the occasions when you have seen or heard omnibenevolent used by Christians.

God gave us free will to chose Him or to reject Him, outside of that the amount of free will God allows you to have depends on His will.

genkaus Wrote:Free-will is not something "given". If it exists, then it'd be a natural aspect of a rational mind. Therefore, any imposition or limitation on it is a violation of free-will.

You are incorrect, God never interferes with our choice of accepting Christ as our savior, this decision is totally up to us, so what else would you call this than freedom to decide to exert our will upon a situation.
The government gives you the free will on deciding to smoke or not, you're not forced one way or the other, correct? However you are not free to exercise your right to smoke anywhere you desire, you are held accountable by laws.

God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, the scriptures never hint at God being omnibenevolent. Omnibenevolent is not part of Christianity, you will not find it in any Christian doctrine, it is a word made up by nonbelievers to try and gain an edge in an argument. The use of omnibenevolent is a dishonest way to support a dead argument.

genkaus Wrote:Clearly, a lot of other Christians disagree with your interpretation of the scriptures.

Please support you statement, omnibenevolence has been argued against by Christians right here on this forum. You should give me evidence that a lot of other Christians disagree with me on this.
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.
