New Everyone has free will.
Some just choose to blame others for their lack of it.

P.S. Free will is a biblical concept that states that God allows good and evil in this world and it is up to us to choose which side we prefer to show the world.

There will always be those that choose evil over good but sometimes you just have to have faith that there are more good people in this world than evil people, and also that the good people will stand up to the violent minority and conquer evil?

Do you disagree with me again?

Remember what I stated before? All you need is love.
You answered: "Should we love them to death?!"
My silent answer was Yes.
Peace be with you. Choose love, not hate.

Funny, I thought the question of predestination vs free will was a *philosophical* -- as in, each puny religion is just one (stupidly superstitious backwater) sub-sector of the wider catregory -- concept.

But, hey, if it's an important question, then of course it _MUST_ be "biblical" (NB, they're not even letting the *other* stupid old superstitions get a look in), right...?

Shee-eesh!

New Your catch phrase says it all.
BTW, did you notice I mentioned I am new to religion?
You, on the other hand, know everything about everything.

Sorry to offend you.

Peace.

I would think that the more general concept in Philosophy is defined in terms of Behaviorism - i.e. whether we simply react to stimili or whether we can truly transcend our impulses.

Anyhow, I'm not sure that the question of predistination versus free will really has much meaning outside a theological context (and really not much meaning there except to tie up some loose ends about the "chosen" ones).

New You got a problem with the Bible saying stuff?
Is it intruding on philosophy's turf? And are you sure you know who was there first?

And last but not least: was your reaction the result of free will, or was it strictly deterministic?
