Free Men, Not Free Will

Sharing Options

“In light of what we have considered, we see that it is inaccurate to talk about free will, as though there were an autonomous thing inside of us, capable of acting in any direction, regardless of the motives of our hearts. If such a thing existed — a creature who made choices apart from the desires of the heart — we would not applaud it as a paragon of free will but rather pity it as a collection of random, arbitrary, and insane choices . . . Choices made apart from the desires of the heart would be an exhibition, not of freedom, but of insanity . . . It is far more biblical to speak of free men than of free will” (Back to Basics, p. 21).
