What is free will
If not a loving gift?
You have the right to choose
No one can make you choose life
No one can make you do anything
That is your gift
Even in perfection
What a lovely gift
Knowing we are not puppets
We can choose truth or lies
We can choose right
We can choose love or hate
Choice is the gift we get
Free will instead of robotics
Does God really need to specify every event in advance?
Being infinite in power and matchless in wisdom, Jehovah can meet any emergency or contingency that might result as his creatures exercise their free will. (Isaiah 40:25, 26; Romans 11:33) He can do this instantly and without forethought. Unlike fallible men with their limited abilities, Almighty God does not need a detailed, cut-and-dried plan that sets out beforehand the destiny of every individual on the earth. (Proverbs 19:21) In a number of Bible translations, Ephesians 3:11 speaks of God’s having an “eternal purpose” rather than a fixed plan
