...then wouldn't all our actions and the outcome from them whether it was surviving a plane crash right down to brushing your teeth in the morning be the result of the free will and not that of a god?

Free will means we are not God's robots, but can make our own decisions.
Of course, that also means we are held accountable for our actions.

Our actions and the outcome have a relative degree of independence, but God has the option to intervene at any time in any way He sees fit. But it is God who gives us teeth to brush and brains and bodies to do the airplane thing. Surviving the crash wouldn't be an act of will, necessarily. I'm sure many who have died in plane crashes did not do so of their own accord.

Free will allows you to follow a lie or choose the truth has nothing to do with whether or not God intercedes in a plane crash.

it is, God don't make your decisions, he may try to influence your decisions but all in all you have to make the choose, and you get to suffer, or enjoy the consequences...God has a plan for our life's..if we live our life's and follow his suggestions we will get there easily, where if you don't follow and rebel and do things even though you know they or wrong and keep making the same mistakes year after year..then the plan will problely never be accomplished, and it will have been your decision not God's,he may have a plan but you are the one to complete it,it's your life good or bad, his way or your way

God gave us our free will. He loves us and he would like us to love Him back. God gave our life to us, and He can take it away too. We have a free will and we should use it wisely, the same thing with our life.

That's an interesting question. However, where do we include God's intervention. Perhaps on the part of our Mother or Grandmother who prays for us.

Yes. The free will to make decisions.
