Post by: princessdi on April 09, 2010, 04:53:56 PM
With God, is there really a such thing as free will, power of choice?

What about freedom?  How free are we, really?  What are the limits of Freedom?  When can freedom be a bad thing?

1.  We are free by the value of price paid.

2.  Until you cross the line of law

3.  When you are free to lose your own soul.

It appears to me the lesson is showing us that we have two choices,

1) We have the freedom to chose bondage, which limits and diminishes every future possibility to choose.

2) We can also chose freedom, freedom from bondage, which gives us the freedom to keep on choosing liberty with every new choice we make.

All of us have made the first of these choices at some time in the past. God's grace makes it possible for us to break with the past and start a new life of liberty which brings us eternal freedom, freedom from bondage to sinful habits.
