I simply don't see the logic in your post. Perhaps you could explain how your heresy of free-will jives with scripture teaching the opposite? Allow me to offer my understanding of mans will.......

Total Depravity: (Total Inability):
Total Depravity is probably the most misunderstood tenet of Christianity. The effect of the fall upon man is that sin has extended to every part of his personality -- his thinking, his emotions, and his will. Not necessarily that he is intensely sinful, but that sin has extended to his entire being. The unregenerate (unsaved) man is dead in his sins (Romans 5:12). Without the power of the Holy Spirit, the natural man is blind and deaf to the message of the gospel (Mark 4:1). This is why Total Depravity has also been called "Total Inability." The man without a knowledge of God will never come to this knowledge without God's making him alive through Christ. (Ephesians 2:1-5).



God bless,
