    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Well that is to bad because I follow Jesus not anyone else and honestly if I were to follw him I feel like he would lead me down a long trail that would only hinder me in the end. He clearly sees himself as wise and perhaps even a teacher of sorts but we don't need more teachers we need more...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Yeah I am sure you see yourself as wise but wisdom speaks for itself and you have a issue with sticking your nose up at others that doesn't seem very wise to me so if you think that a wise person would have knwon intantly then my argument is that a wise man could answer the question and answer...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Yeah I am not taking the bait on that one if they think their wise and scribes then maybe they need to humble themselves a bit, A wise man would not speak for themselves as being wise wisdom is seen and known by others
