[Faith-talk] Free Will

[Brandon Olivares via Faith-talk]

Dear Poppa Bear,

Thank you very much for your response and question.

Free will would cover any choice whatsoever. It could be jumping up, wiggling your big toe, or even every word you type in your email, and every word I respond with. The post I linked to gives some more details, but that is basically it. Your every thought, word, and action are not in the domain of free will. There is no doer to be free. Instead, what you are is Freedom.
