Is practicing free will having the power to choose what is right or wrong??

Im sorry I dont agree with that, peoples religious beliefs helps you to make moral decisions but I was always taught in Sunday School that everyone has free will to choose moral or immoral acts but with that free choice comes consequences whether it be good or bad. If you play with fire you are going to get burned(immoral) or one good deed deserves another(moral) that is are free will to choose.

I think that "free will" is not even scriptural. It is a new age philosophy that was developed as a false doctrine. People want to believe that they have a certain amount of "power". The Bible teaches that God is sovereign. That he alone has is in control. I believe in God's will...not man's will. I do think you can live outside of the will of God and live in "self-will", which is in opposition to the will of God. These are not merely my beliefs though. Look to scripture...John 1:13, John 5:21, John 6:39.

Practicing free will is doing whatever we choose. It's using our own judgment and having to accept accountability for our actions. We have the freedom to choose our friends, our behavior, our words. Humans are able to choose wrongly, but are also able to choose the right way. Christians will choose God and to follow His example, but we are given choices. It would not be nearly as enjoyable if we were all forced to folllow dictates of another without having a little say in the matter. We don't really choose whether something is right or wrong; rather, we choose which path we will take and must use our knowledge to determine which is the right path.

Now that's a really intelligent question and one not easy to answer! Sigmund Freud would say: free will is very limited as man is manouevered by subconscience. John Calvin would say: free will doesn't exist as man is depraved and enslaved by sin. The Richard Speck murder case opened a discussion whether chromosome abnormalities con override free will. The patron of preferences when selecting a partner for matrimony, relation failures, child abuse... all of them show the stronghold that early education and models have on behavior. So what? Isn't it scary to think that because of all those influences you and I are just puppets on a string? Bible convinces me that God is loving and just. And also I can read that God wants us to love Him and to obey Him voluntarily because we respond to His love. This couldn't be the case without free will. We must not deny the above mentioned influences, but we can't take responsibility from man without declaring that God is being irresponsible and inmoral, when charging man for sin. And the God I know, love and try to obey, is perfectly responsable and moral!

God already gave us the free will, He gave us the power to choose our side good or evil If some religions side under good then other religions believe in a balance Yin and Yang,Karma and spiritual balance are those beliefs We are just one people separated by cuture,color language and tradition So for me free will is cool as long as we dont abuse the power to much
