HAHAHAHAHA! that's Genius mate.
:)
Can't top that.
Maybe one answer is there is no beginning. Maybe another is that we are God and we've just forgotten it.
But for sure, if our will is free and God 'granted' it then our will is not free because we cannot choose not to have it. Or else we can, but that equals the power of God. So if ours is truly free will, either there was no granting of it or we granted it because who can have power over free will without it not being free will at all?

Oh my gosh that's funny.... honestly the answers to all these spiritually related questions are very hard to answer logically..... and until I got saved I really didn't understand how that was suppose to work.... kinda like OK so if I have a free will, and my destiny is that I'm going to kill/not kill person A .... how the hell am I suppose to do that without going to hell if that was my destiny or the contrary actually "fool Him" and make it to heaven.... I'm beginning to realize that the whole free will thing is basically the subject to question if you were confronted with a situation and you had the choice to either pray about it or just go ahead and do what you think is acceptable.....giving up your soul life now and following the Lord is the will you're suppose to have and everything else is dead.... because when you're baptized you actually buried the old man and now you belong to Him.... and a slave's only will is the will of his master!

Looks like a smart question, and well answered Monita C, but both are based on a simple assumption, that 'God' and we are separate.
We are One and the same thing, we are individuated bits of Cosmic Consciousness, doing our thing and experiencing for the Collective, and the Collective is us, all together.
In other words free will , or 'Intent', as I prefer to call it, wasn't bestowed upon us, we bestowed it on ourselves.
Oh, we are....fooling ourselves....all the 'time', that's why it is called an illusion. The greatest part of the illusion is the idea that we are separate and alone. We are not, we are all One.

I love how no one has any real answer -- they just seek to change the question to suit them. Some Creationist Advances: Creative Writing -- it has to be VERY creative Tortured Logic Flood Geology (see two above entries) Selective History -- Noah's Great Flood took place at the same time as the first great Egyptian Dynasties, yet managed to spare the Egyptians.

Free will is a phrase used to make people feel they are in control of things and allowed to make their own decisions when in all honesty they probably aren't.

The point of free will is to allow us to make our own choices. When we make choices, we experience the consequences of those choices. When we see the consequences we learn from them which gives is power to make better choices. God wanted us to improve, that's why we have free will.

Human beings are the ones fooling other human beings and those which are being fooled, allow it.
