    You can't be forced to have free will... Free will is free will. You're saying if we weren't forced to have free will we would be forced to do what God wants us to do, meaning not having a free will. Don't really know what you're asking here..

    Hinduism is the only faith the place God does no longer stress us to have self belief in it. God in simple terms says that guy has been endowed with an exceptional mind that separates him from animals. in accordance to the Hindu God, Vishnu, getting born right into a human type is an extremely puzzling success and if guy ignores his more suitable beginning and does no longer try for his liberation, guy turns into as stable as a beast. The Hindu concept of rebirth has been scientifically shown by Dr.Brian Weiss in his artwork referred to as 'Many Lives Many masters'. Please study it and then attain your guy or woman conclusions on how far there is actuality in the parable that God forces us into submission.

    He never forces. You choose to follow his plan which includes free will. All those who did not choose to follow that plan, choose to follow lucifer who wanted the forced plan. They were kicked out of heaven and will never be born. And yes some choices will result in the loss of certain amounts of free will, just ask the folks in prison.

    We are born as it reads in Isaiah 14:12-14 because of the fall into sin by Adam and Eve into A sinful nature, no choice that is the way we are born, "In Jesus Christ Alone" do we have free choice. We have A Freedom that even the devil is not permitted to take. John 14:15 "IF" You Love me [then] keep my commandments. and "For God [The Father] "SO" Loved you that He gave...John 3:16 but read what the whole thing says around verses to keep them in context read what it says all together:

    John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

    3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

    3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

    3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

    3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    1. God does not ever "force" anything on anyone.

    2. There is no such thing as "free will". Anything outside of God's will has consequences.

    The nice thing about free will is that once you have it, you don't need to use it.

    It's not forced on us - just a right we have because we are human. And a right implies that we have a duty to use it.

    No. You have always had free will.

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes, we do not have a choice in it. We MUST make our own choices.
