yes. divine intervention is temporary, free will is permanent. Imagine free will as an essay you are writing. divine intervention occurs when you make a mistake and you have erase something...in the end, the paper is still there...

Yes. Divine intervention is for God's purpose and does not negate our ability to make choices. It simply prevents something from happening that was accidental in nature or as an answer to prayer from someone.

No, divine intervention doesn't exist and free will is an illusion. We can only make selections from the options we are given. If we had full free will, we would be able to WILL ourselves into flight without an airplane.

Divine intervention makes the use of free will righteous and fulfilling.

Yes. I think that God does intervene in this world. Having His Son die on the cross was a huge intervention! God knew how people would react to His Son, and knew what would happen, yet the Pharisees chose to crucify him. I

Divine intervention means that God didn't see something coming and intervened just to fix it. I think it's impossible if you believe that God is almighty. He would have known about that incident even since the creation of the Universe. I think that nothing is able to surprise Him and He doesn't have to intervene. His will is expressed from the way he created the Universe. He created it the way he wanted it to evolve. Everything we experience is His will.
In my opinion, free will is one of man's biggest illusions. We all are certain of our free will but in fact we are pre-programmed biological computers, even if we don't want to admit it. The atoms which my brain is made of, were inside a sun, billions of years ago. Back then, they obeyed to the laws of nature perfectly and deterministically. Now, after that sun exploded, they formed our planet, me and my brain. I have no reason to believe that there is a spiritual essence in them now. They obey the laws of nature as before. My thoughts are electricity produced by brain cells. Therefore, a powerfull enough being could predict all my thoughts and actions, and even program them even since the beggining of the Universe. According to Heisenberg's principle, man is impossible to predict certain events, but that doesn't mean that a supreme being outside our Universe could't predict or predetermine them. So, we will never be able to predict the future but we don't have free will...we are programmed just as all the other molecules of matter in the Universe.
I think it doesn't matter anyway.
-If we have free will, then nothing changes inside us. We will continue to have the same feeling of freedom of choice (as we have now, because most of us believe in free will).
-If we don't have free will, then we shouldn't be worried because nothing is up to us! :)

I asked a similar question the other day. If things are predetermined by god (god's will) how can man also have free will? I don't see how you can have both. I got no answers worth a salt, either. Better luck with yours.
P.S. Good to see you again!
