You make your god look like a real scream.
You should ask if the bible says we have free will now?
That answer would also be no.
It says we are either slaves to God, or Slaves to sin. So if you are going to compare apples to apples you need to take all of what the bible says. It says we are going to serve/reap Sin or God in this life and the next as slaves. 'freewill' is a greek construct, not a biblical one.
Christ says 'come unto me those who are weak and heavy laiden for my yoke is easy and my burden light.'
In essence Sin= the slavery assoceiated with bondage and suffering
While Christ offers a light load and a mild temperament. Imagine how Joseph was a slave to pharaoh, and ruled over all of Egypt in his name, rather than a black man being beaten in a cotton field in a southern state 300 years ago.
Remember per our discussion in the slave thread the bible identifies both men as slaves. Meaning the bible's definition is far broader than your own.
Drich, what is the point in humans being on earth in the first place?
