I feel Halle Berry was meant for me but she would no doubt turn into the Storm character of the X-Men and beat the crap outta me...

Is it truly "FREE" will?

If it is FREE will then there shouldn't ever be punishment for an INCORRECT choice. No reward, no punishment = FREE


Who says there is a punishment??
I believe in a loving God who forgives. ( not saying I'm right, just don't believe in "fire & brimstone")

Who says there is a punishment??

Most religions are based on rewards and punishments.
The whole concept of Hell is a punishment.
The whole concept of Heaven is a reward.

You have "Free Will" as long as that "Will" is within the religious doctrine. The fact that there are rewards and punishments stipulated indicates that the will is certainly not free.

Its like 'Unconditional Love'
If there are things or feelings that are 'required', to have Unconditional Love, it is not unconditional.

Do as I say not as I do.
You can do what you want as long as I say it's ok.

I disagree - I do believe in free will but as pertains to right & wrong. I think if you're only doing the "right" thing because you're afraid of being punished or you want to be rewarded I think you're missing the point. Sort of like goodness & people's reaction to it is it's own reward. Just my humble opinion. :smile:

GOD chooses and sends the right person to share your life with love; or
YOU choose that person with your own decisions; or
A strange combination of both

what do you think??


I think I'll have a drink. Doing so would be safer than figuring this one out.

no.

Free will is free will and consequences (whether we call them punishment or reward) are the natural result of action

If I keep driving when I see there is no road, that is free will because I could also CHOOSE to not keep driving

the consequences of one action will be different than the other and I have the FREE WILL to make choices that result in the consequences I seek

or to RISK choices in hopes they result in those consequences

but it is still a choice

there is no such a thing ''free will'' every action we take has repercussions on other ppl you yourself just gave examples of a free will it does not take a genius to know we have a free will did you choose to be born?? did you choose your intelligence level or brain shape?? do you have full control over external events that happen?? what makes you think you have control over the little things

I believe that God is the one who's choosing the right partner for us :blush::blush::blush: i believe in his timing :blush: No bf since birth but i know one day i'll meet him (if it's his will)... and he will remove those people that are not for me when they're done with their purpose... i put my trust only to Him.. i always tell myself let his will be done..
