It\'s like if you have a toddler at the ice cream store, she says \"Oh look I have free will because I can choose my own Ice Cream flavor or choose not to have Ice cream if I don\'t want to.\" Well no...she can only choose between those options. She can\'t choose a flavor that\'s no there, and she may not be able to choose to have more than one flavor. You may say \"Well the child could always run away\". However the parent (being God), is strong enough to stop them and never would let them. That is my analogy. Yes we have will, but it is very limiited, and ultimately the choices we have are limited by God. Thus we do not have FREE will.[/quote] Something about your analogy does not make sense to me. You say that we have will, but very limited. Our will is only limited by the possible options. The only other option besides making decisions yourself (defined as \"free will\") is having your decisions made for you (defined as \"no free will\"). You seem to be saying that there is a third option, yet your definition of this third option appears nonsensical to me. Please elaborate if there is a misunderstanding.
