Inherent in the greatest of gifts endowed by our Creator on mankind also lies our greatest weakness. What a dazzling notion freedom is. It shines, but yet blinds all that gaze upon it; And all do!!! All bask in the radiance of its glory. Breathing, moving, and existing from one moment to the next. Living out loud if you will, with only our living transcending our freedom in greatness. Free to love. Free to hate. Free to hold fast to morals and principles taught or to disregard them entirely. Even free to disregard the Creator Entirely!!! I use the term Creator to call to attention that which was created… Us!!! Bringing to the forefront of our thoughts who we are for the purpose of reflection and examination. “Created a little lower than the angels. Crowned with glory and honor. This is where we start. Please, join the caravan of thought I ride, briefly. Journey with me as we together, firstly, examine not life, but the freedom that comes with it.
 
There is no free will. Man is either a slave to sin (John 8:34), which is our natural state, or he is a slave to Christ and His righteousness (Romans 6:18). A totally depraved man cannot seek after God (Romans 3:11), unless God brings him to life, because man is dead in sin (Ephesians 2:4-5).

Depraved man does have choices, but they are according to his nature. Unless God regenerates his heart, he is reprobated in continual rebellion against God.
 
I agree. Horses,dogs, cats, vultures. All do by nature those things they were created to do. Those created upright though. What do we do??? Everything against what the Creator would have us to do. We are dead that's why we need Jesus which speaks of Love and Grace.
 
Seek and we shall find . oh yes we have free will. I set before you life and death choose life a blessing and a curse choose blessing. The works of His fingers are visable no one is denied a choice to choose. Our hearts may harden and sin will be our master but gentiles before they had the written word spoke of a God they had only heard about we have much less excuse to pass this knowledge Truth light on in ignorance then all previous generations. That my brother is choice
