There are a lot of people out there who do not think they should have someone in authority telling them what to do.. So maybe they go out and break the law.. They made that choice. They go to jail...get fired ect. There are kids who don't want anyone telling them what to do. They break the rules they end up grounded, expelled ect. Those are free will choices. They don't have to go out and do those things and get in trouble. It's the same with God's free will. You can make choices that won't harm other people or yourself. He even gave some good ideas on what not to do. Then to top it off He gave a get out of jail free card.. All we have to do is make the choice. Respect authorities who mean well.. respect parents and teachers who have your best interest in mind..respect God who loves u you.

sure it is, its yours...to choose what you will and your either gonna stay with it or you won't....if a person does wrong/bad/sin, what ever you choose to call it, then why have all the negative sides or forces in a good place?, look at it this way, lets say you did something really good and your feeling mighty good inside, on top of the world so to speak, would you want any negativity around to try to bring you down?,taking from you your joy, or trying to steal your glory?, I believe your saying, no, I don't want that, well neither does God.....its a choice...choose wisely.....

God gives man/woman free will to make their own choices. The big choice is to serve either him or Satan. There truly is no between factor. If you choose to serve God and live a good Godly life you will spend eternity with him. If you choose not to have that personal relationship with Jesus Christ then you've made a choice that was free to you.

Worshipping him isn't what gets you into heaven, it's accepting that he sent His Son to die on the cross, to pay for our sins, so that we can be blameless before His eyes. All we have to do is recognize that Jesus is Lord, confess it with our mouth, and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead...and then we are saved.
On a side note, when you realize in your heart what God did for us, you realize that it is a privledge to worship Him!

I think it is that you can enjoy this world with no parameters but not be rewarded for your insensitivity to others, [incidentally according to the Bible the earth belongs to Satan,] or you can lead the "good life" and be rewarded.
The realistic amongst us realise we're all going to the same place [nowhere], but shh, don't tell them or they'll want to share our booze, birds and drugs !

If you love God, you'll obey me. It's still free will. If you love your wife or girlfriend are you going to cheat on her? If you love your parents are you going to steal from them? If you love your friend are you going to be disloyal?
Turn or burn, obey or disobey, it's a choice.

you have a choice, admit you are a sinner, and need Jesus or not. You have a choice where you live for eternity, if he did not give us free will, we would have no choice now would we?

While God made us in his image, he does not require that we accept his plan of salvation. He gives us free will to choose to accept or to reject.

Thats why you should always keep an open mind about life! You can't always believe what people want you to.
