First, as was already mentioned (I believe by MFM), free will in context of religion is generally referring to moral free will. This is/should be so obvious that people don't bother with qualifiers regarding swimming in the desert or flying like superman.
Second, this moral free will does not need to be (and in fact isn't) absolute in extent. God can and does overrule people at times, but if they've been given some free choices in their lives, they can be justly judged on those choices.
What's the difference between normal free will and moral free will? I always thought that morals was just the religious version of ethics.
Basically a watered down version of how to act humanely, but in a world where your watched 24 hrs a day by a big baby in the sky who never acts humanely.
If god knows the future, does he have free will?
Where does all this information about heaven, hell and free will actually come from?
I've read the bible a few times and never seen fuckall on that stuff.
