free will? More to the point; "how free are you?" If you are a servant of (something; anything - god, addiction, emotions...) are you really free? Please think, then answer as honestly as you can.

Free will is the gift to make whatever decision, and take whatever action, YOU want.
Yes, you can still have faith AND exercise free will.

I am not free of cigarettes yet
I am in pretty good control over my emotions
and my belief in God does not alter my lifestyle or personality
I am as free as a person can be ( more free once i quit the cigs lol )

You serve whom you choose to serve. If you serve your flesh to the point where you are no longer a servant but a slave, then you created the problem yourself. God never placed a burden on any one that they couldn't overcome by choosing to believe he was helping them bear it.

God is eternal having neither beginning of days or end of life, a Spirit fire or light called life. The Word begins with thought from conscious awareness I am, acquiring wisdom to reason thought to self with the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. This wisdom of thought with words is not any substance or matter but Spirit, the Holy Spirit. God is One, by Himself or alone with His Words the Holy Spirit. This timeless existence of reasoning wanted company and God’s thoughts turn to creating company or sons. Sons to behold, abide with, and communion with. God discovered love, not of the thought, but of the sons He envisioned. God felt this love, the magnificence of it and wanted His sons to love Him. God realized He could not create true love or forced it upon a being, but true love would only manifest in sons of freewill. The wisdom of God also knew it would be necessary to govern sons of freewill by laws that are fair and righteous, to hold them accountable. God was willing to risk rejection and rebellion against the law. Sons of freewill could choose not to love Him but must obey the law. The sons would need a place to abide, explore, and grow. God created the heavens and the earth, His kingdom.

We all have free will to choose whether or not to serve our Lord or addictions . It's our choice.

Why u think ur so imaginative and unfathomable deep questions would be answered with the same respect and concern. I believe this isn't the right place to make ppl scratch their minds.
