What about Pharoah? God deliberately hardened his heart to display his power through him! God usurped Pharaoh's "free will".
What about the man borned blind? The disciples asked Jesus what sin caused him to suffer blindness since birth. But Jesus said he was born blind so that the glory of God would be revealed in and through him. God purposely made that man blind. That's controlling someone's life.
What about Job? Think about the family he had that God allowed the devil to kill. They had no choice, they died. Their "free will" to live was infringed on. Then there's Job who suffered all that loss and sickness. When God allows the devil to afflict, like sending Paul a demon to torment him, we lose part of our will if not all of it. Think about Nebbachadnezer, he was subject to being an animal for 7 years crawling around on all fours. God made him that way. Or the two people in Acts who lose their lives for lying about finances to the Holy Spirit... The list goes on. I'm not saying I'm objecting to God or his decisions. If anything I welcome his ways, even if they cause me to be controlled. I'm just talking about how preachers always say "God doesn't infringe on the free will of man". Where in the Bible does it say that? From what I've read, it doesn't say that. What do you think?
Well witnessed by the HELP of the HOLY SPIRIT and boldly well you have testified to us and thank you for pointing out deception among preachers. JESUS and the Apostles to the churches warned to look out for them and expose them for others to be alert from their deception. They were ever present after JESUS and the Apostles only as far as i know, correct and warn their churches to watch out for them, than rather with them imposters.
The Apostles even said that some of them were among them in the beginning and have gone ahead of them to preach to their churches. It is similar to today's Preachers who they have gone ahead of the HOLY SPIRIT, their Teacher of the Holy Scripture, even the New Covenant in whole, 'to be taught and to be trained first, in order to all kind of Good deeds'. Apostle John in his epistle reminded the church to distinguish between spirit of error and spirit of truth. It is the leaders of the church who welcome them to preach in the congregation. It is nothing new and thanks to our HELPER the HOLY SPIRIT about the HOLY BIBLE, sent by LORD JESUS CHRIST, by the will of the FATHER.
Even Apostle Paul spoke about people like them, that;
"Even satan disguises himself as an angel of light(Gospel) and it is not surprising that his servants (carnal/flesh descent) disguises themselves as servants of righteousness."
Young Timothy was prepared by Apostle Paul, to watch out for itching ears and bullies who long for a twisted Gospel to suite their twisted thinking of their selfish feelings and desires, life with this world in the flesh/carnal and yet keep salvation.
In my experience these preachers suite my carnal/flesh living as a Christian in this world but other Scripture, in my personal readings with the HOLY SPIRIT contradict, correcting and justifying future second condemnation by CHRIST Himself. People who thought they were saved and always saved and have eternal life and who further labored effortlessly for CHRIST, were the ones who HE rejects and condemn by their own MASTER, as workers of 'lawlessness'. They did not believe there is a Law written and established by shedding of bloods and as the New Covenant given to 'abide' and they continued in ministries for CHRIST, using their placed gifts for free i them, working to their advantage in the worldly necessities and pleasures. For example about the Law given to 'abide';
"The Law written in the Old Covenant and in the conscience of the Gentiles, enslaves if practiced. But the Law written in the New Covenant liberates, if one who is born again 'Abide' in all of them as law abiding citizens."
Free will is in every men. but GOD in HIS everlasting Grace controls the discipline of Heaven and earth. HE allow beings in Heaven and on earth to make choices but when that choices over bound HIS righteousness, then HE intervenes for the sake of HIS righteous ones not to be corrupted as well, in their practices. People of GOD have no more choices, when they were rescued by GOD in HIS Grace of pity towards them and they all have agreed to live under HIS Covenant to be looked after and kept safe. But when they compromise and after many warnings of HIS messengers, they still persist forward in the same manner, then HE removes the protection and spiritual or physical enemies invade and devour. These enemies who were afraid of them then, are now allowed to do such things to HIS own people only for a while. Because HE will deal with them later and is also brutal in punishment.
Since n the beginning the HOLY BIBLE records of men's free will being cautioned and dealt with from time to time until today. To born again that free will is to be buried as have declared publicly through Baptism of the flesh/carnal and now a new creature, called to continue in the thinking and to the works according to the HOLY SPIRIT, that is continue in HIS Spiritual knowledge of the New Covenant first and then 'abiding' in all of them witnessing to the world.
