I have free will to hire someone. "IF" I hire her, where does god fit in? What if she prayed for the job? She got the job because of "MY" free will. So, God works for me, right?

there are four levels of awareness. Ignorance. Law, Grace & unity with God. We pass from Ignorance into Law,Law creates "sin" karma,cause & effect,Duality & a sense of freewill.after gaining sufficent experience & in great pain we will turn to God,and by the Grace of God we will meet a saint who will baptize us in spirit,then rising into this state of Grace we are lifted out of "sin" into spiritual unity with God in unconditional love. No more a "sinner" doing the only will, Gods will.

No God does not work for you. Some body prays so a good deed is recorded in her name and she gets the job because you cannot stop that. You use your free will you can do it all the time you will also get what has been pre destined for you to receive. Why do you have free will and still you are not a rich man like Gates is? think?

i assume it relies upon on the way you define unfastened will. the final opinion is that we´re unique in the animal kingdom simply by fact we´re pushed by utilising concept technique quite than instinct. yet is being a slave to our upbringing and ecosystem any distinctive than being a slave to instinct? possibly you may define unfastened will simply by fact the skill to take our stories and study them to make the main suitable possibilities we are in a position to. or possibly we´re all only brainwashed. for sure, I´m grappling with this (possibly every person is). i'll declare this nevertheless, I don´t elect to be the way i'm and experience the failings i've got confidence, and such issues impact my possibilities. for this reason, my ´possibilities´ are deffinitely inspired by utilising issues i will´t help, if not thoroughly controlled by utilising them.

If “free will” can mean that God gives humans the opportunity to make choices that genuinely affect their destiny, then I would conclude that we do have a free will. The world’s sin status is directly associated with choices made by Adam and Eve. All accounts of the fall of mankind indicate it was as the result of a wrong choice. From that point on individuals have had the opportunity to choose to follow God and to experience the consequences for not making that choice.
Even in light of God’s choosing Abraham and his descendents, God held individuals accountable. And individuals outside of the chosen group (Israel) were able to choose to believe and follow God, (examples: Gentiles that left with the Israelites at the exodus, Ruth, Rahab, Rulers in Babylon).
Therefore, He who chooses (elects) also allows individuals to choose. The Book of Romans is famous for explaining salvation and the sovereignty of God. It uses words like “chose,” “predestined,” “elect,” etc., yet it also holds people accountable for not choosing.
In the section whereby Romans discusses the sinful depravity of humans God bluntly states that those outside of salvation are without excuse “no defense.” This is specifically in light of the rejection of General Revelation, (showing His existence through His creation) Romans 1:20-21.
In other passages we learn that: Individuals are expected to choose to believe (John 3:16; Romans 10:11; etc). Individuals have a choice to be foolish or wise (Matthew 7:26). The Scriptures are given to provide instruction for salvation – obviously to be chosen or rejected (2 Timothy 3:15; John 20:30,31). Jesus established the choosing of obedience as a sign of our love for Him (John 14:21).
It is God’s will that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9), therefore, it must be someone else’s choice that separates individuals from God. God says we will reap what we sow – we can choose to reap differently (Galatians 6:7,8).
The multitudes of directives given by God assume that the hearers can make a choice to obey or disobey. It only seems logical that God could only hold us accountable for that if we indeed had free will to choose. Therefore, a Just God would not be expected to heap levels of expectations on those that are not free to choose. Therefore, I prefer to reconcile the thought that a sovereign God in His complexity allowed me to choose to accept Him, rather than to attempt to resolve a seeming character conflict between His justice and holiness.
