think its wrong or right, God is to blame for all things, because he created them as you make choices in the blind unless you know the law of man, other than that it is just used to point your finger at someone that is not a Christian, now try this choose to be wealthy with Gold or poor and starving and lets see the outcome, or choose who your father will be NOT GOD the one that planted the seed, so can you choose that, free will try to free will yourself to the moon and lets see if you can do it
So choice and free will only apply to our social life and society choices and have no bearing other than that, so when Christians say you have a choice between God and Satan, that is an absurd lie, because they are not real issues in life, only mans law applies, so those two words used by Christians are misused, because they them self's can not choose God it is God that will choose them IF it is true, so stop telling people they have a choice of what there outcome in life will be because they never had a choice to be other than themselves, they did not plant there own seed, it a product of there Father, therefore the blame is there father

Hey just because you can't answer the question, you don't have to ridicule my punctuation and adding constriction is the same as the bible its your CHOICE to answer, but I noticed that when hard questions or thoughts get posted the true Christians love to ridicule the writing

If that is so, the it should not be called free will. It should be LIMITED free will.
Hi! I came back to add something. Free will should be absolute because man has to be answerable to the law lest he blames God for his misfortune. The law makes man accountable so that he will be careful with his choices and not be careless about it and start blaming others for his mistakes. God did not cover our eyes when He made the law so that no one should attempt to hide anything from Him and that is where our conscience come in. And having such conscience man is enabled to choose what is right from wrong because we are not horses but men who does not have to pursue our endeavors at the command of a rein. Your choices are yours and the result of those choices are yours, the consequence of which have to be answered by only you and not your father, your mother, your brother or sister, not even your neighbor.
Please read this:
SIRACH Chapter 15 (New American Bible)
verses
11 Say not: "It was God's doing that I fell away"; for what he hates he does not do.
12 Say not: "It was he who set me astray"; for he has no need of wicked man.
13 Abominable wickedness the LORD hates, he does not let it befall those who fear him.
14 When God, in the beginning, created man, he made him subject to his own free choice.
15 If you choose you can keep the commandments; it is loyalty to do his will.
16 There are set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand.
17 Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him.
18 Immense is the wisdom of the LORD; he is mighty in power, and all-seeing.
19 The eyes of God see all he has made; he understands man's every deed.
20 No man does he command to sin, to none does he give strength for lies.

From this I would say you are offering free will choice to any who believe as you do...a tad limiting that point of view! Perhaps an understanding of free will choice is to understand human mind and consicousness. Free will choice is a part of natural law...not a religion.

The flesh tempts us to do stupid things or to make the wrong choices, God's will will not allow you to make bad choices unless you want, that's the free-will. I abused drugs and alcohol, but He allowed me to do that because it was my bad choices, not His will....but He continued to love me unconditionally, and today I am free from bondage!!!!!!!! I must live by His will, and not my own, but I am still human and I make mistakes, but now I learn from them instead of continuing to make them. Follow God's will, be patient, He's an on-time God all the time.

Punctuation is a beautiful thing. It prevents run-on sentences and allows a proper digestion of your thoughts.
As it stands, this is less of a question and more of a screed.

"they never had a choice to be other than themselves" isn't that contradiction? no choice means no choice. if you want a good debate, you need to examine your flow of thoughts brother. you cant contradict yourself. so if you didn't chose, you still chose not to chose. get it?
