Free will is the 1st gift God gave us! Remember the principle
of reaping and sowing. You commit a crime and you will have
to pay. So, it's not blanket stupid choices.

Actually, free will is an illusion.
You have no basis on which to choose except for that past experience. Your own personal experience is the only data on which you can base a choice. What else is involved?
Since this has always been true the choices that formed your past experience were also based on nothing but your experience prior to that, and so on.
Therefore, all choices arise from past conditioning rather than some imagined free chooser. You make the only choice possible, given your past conditioning.

a marvelous type of lack of know-how in a number of those solutions. the thought anybody gets to be certain which gender they are going to have an interest in, and which gender they'll the two be no longer fascinated in, or perhaps repulsed by ability of sexually, is ludicrous. no one has ever made one in each of those determination. The charm is the two there from the commencing up, or that is not any longer. Ditto for the shortcoming of charm. that isn't a tricky thought to hold close... so why do a marvelous type of persons stumble at it? final analysis: that is not any longer a decision. I certainly have constantly been fascinated in a similar intercourse. I certainly have never had even the slightest charm to the choice intercourse. the thought-approximately being intimate with the choice intercourse is unnatural or perhaps repulsive to me. My in basic terms 2 concepts? To stay a mislead make homophobes chuffed, or to be who i'm. And to invoke bestiality or pedophilia in this communicate is much greater ignorant nevertheless. i do no longer would desire to describe why. people who comprehend why do no longer prefer the reason. people who do prefer it does no longer comprehend it, on account that they have been people who extra those matters up. Edit for mckenziecalhoun: adversarial lots?

You can choose what you want up to a point. And the choices are what brings eventual Life or Death. You make many decisions while you exercise your freewill. But that only goes for the duration of your life. Then we all are rendered payment for what choices that were made under that freewill. Past experiences are no excuse for bad decisions. Many people have come from bad backgrounds in the past and have had dramatic changes occur. There is nothing new under the sun in terms of how bad it gets. No one is completely lost until they desire to be so. And there are plenty of those types of people.

A better definition for "free will", is the ability to choose between a set of given choices, because sometimes we don't get a choice. We don't get to choose when we were born, who our parents were, or when and how we die for example.

True. It is also true that every choice has a price. The price for sin is spiritual death.Fortunately that price has already been paid.

Yes, but remember that there's no such thing as a "consequence-free" choice.

You got to understand that free will has limitations.
