Is Free Will Really Free?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 23, 2020

The subject of Free Will cannot be simply defined. However, it can be described as the ability of a person to determine within themselves the choices they make and the course of action they take.

Nowhere in the Bible is there any specific mention of 'Free Will,' the divine will of God, or human free will because it never discusses philosophical subjects of any kind. It is apparent in the Bible that God is regarded as acting freely, and that humans are recognized as free agents to do ...read more
