Thank you for sharing this video clip. I have met him at the Parish I attend in Laval, Quebec, Canada a year ago. He has blessed me as well as many, after a short visit and also he has shared with us his experience and his work to all the parishioners whom attended this meeting.
we all have free will...people forget there is a price to pay if that will is used for sin...and blessings when the will is used for goodness...yes free will, but many people are swayed by other people and demons...Christ help us all
God cannot call you free and violate your will. He can influence and woo you, but he cannot make the choice for you...if it were true that he did for "non-agents" then why did God agree to let Satan test Job to prove that he loved God only because of his many blessings, if Job's decisions and feelings were programmed? God knows your essence...he knows you better than you do, so he would have a better hunch as to what you would do than you do!
I think it's more free-will, with sprinkles of God's will. Lemme explain...God wants true love, not programmed love. I believe, he wants you to choose to love him, because that makes it real...not fake. You have to believe that God can do all, and when you come to that conclusion...it makes it possible that God gave you the ability to choose, as God chose not to make your decisions for you. Does he have a will? Yes...he does, and I believe he uses "agents" to accomplish his will.
@DandBMonk that's fine you believe that, but I have a question. Would you let a child choose to believe what they wish, or will you teach them the Bible before they're of an age to question or understand it?
It's crazyyy you're asking this question, because me and my girl think she's pregnant, and we discussed this very subject. I will not force God onto my child...ever. It's not my place too. If my child is curious as to what I believe...I will tell them, but let me assure you, I'm still curious about a lot of things, but I will also tell my child that it's their journey...I can't walk it for them.
I love learning, and I don't condone limiting it in any way, shape, nor form. I listen and read Stephen Hawking and even Richard Dawkins...that doesn't mean I agree with them, but I learn things I didn't know, but I don't stop with them or Christian thinkers either...I learn for myself. Philosophy, to me, is the greatest tool in the conversations of Religion and Science...as Einstein once said, "Science without Religion is lame...Religion without Science is blind."

Heh check the link /watch?v=HsHn6LoO-ro
That is brainwashing, not choice or free will.

Free will is a beautiful thought
in the mind of the enslaved.
Like a flower on the dinner table
That cannot be eaten.
