For instance, God told Jonah to go to Ninevah (that was Gods will), but then, Jonah boarded a ship and fled in the other direction (that was Jonah's will). So, why, if man has free will, and God honors that free will choice of man; why did God cause a giant fish to swallow Jonah up and prety much cause him to end up in Ninevah where Jonah didnt want to go, but the Lord had told Him to go in the first place? And doesnt the bible talk about unregenerate man being held captive by the devil to do his will? And that they are slaves to sin? I lean toward the idea that until one comes to true faith in Jesus, that they dont really have a choice but to sin, but when we come to Christ, our wills are then set free and we can then decide not to sin instead of to sin. What do some of you think?
