Look in the Bible and see how many references God makes to "will", "willing" "would", etc. All throughout the Bible God speaks of the will of man.<br><br>Mt 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.<br>Mt 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.<br>Mt 18:16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.<br>Mt 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;<br>Mt 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:<br>Mt 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?<br>Mt 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.<br><br>If man did not have a "free will" and an ability to choose, then man is not responsible for his actions. And if God were to hold man responsible, God would be unjust for it is God's word that says: Ga 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
