Free Will
Alan (2018) stated:
“The terms ‘free’ and ‘free will’ began use within English speaking communities.
The term ‘free’ arose from the Old English word ‘freo’ in the thirteenth century.
This word meant: free, exempt from, not in bondage. Between the years 1525
and 1535, the conjoined term ‘free will’ arose for the first time. 3 In the literature of the day and in the ensuing decades, the term was used to denote a person’s will that was not constrained or forced. This meaning of an unencumbered and uncoerced will carries through to the modern era. In addition to the notion that a free will is an uncoerced will, modern advances in science and jurisprudence have led to the recognition that in other situations, a person’s will can also be encumbered or restricted. I’ve grouped the kinds of situations in which a person’s capacity to exercise their free will is restricted into four classes. These are:
1. coercion 2. manipulation 3. addiction 4. mental illness
As for the second part of the definition, free from external causes, I mean that the choice has somehow broken the sequence of cause and effect. Not only is nobody forcing your choice, but nothing is forcing it” (pg. 4).
Consequently, then, the Systematic Apologist can, through a deliberate reasoning process, realize “Free Will” to be a phrase that describes the ambient circumstances

under which the reality of a deliberate, causal action in word or deed is deliberately
caused by a causal being.
The statement, “not only is nobody forcing your choice, but nothing is forcing it”
contradicts the Bible’s teaching of causal agency; namely, that the Subject is the causal
agent for their actions or thoughts. As Alan further observed:
“This type of free will, which most people vaguely think they have, is logically
impossible because it is self-contradictory. To exactly the extent that I have
reasons for my choice, I am following cause-and-effect. Yet, I’m also claiming that
my choice is magically free from cause-and-effect. I can’t have it both ways” (pg.
4).
The Bible doesn’t teach the kind of “Free Will” that most people “vaguely think they have,” for, in evaluating, judging, and consequently, deciding (rendering a verdict or decision according to the process of judging) to mind-after (repent), and to cause one’s self to deliberately believe, or to cause one’s self to deliberately disbelieve acknowledges the reality of the self-caused agency of causal beings.
Portwine (2020) asserted:

“Free will is about the ability of a conscious mind to make choices that cause events that would not have occurred under the physical laws alone. These events can range from a progression of thoughts to the taking of physical action. More formally, free will is understood herein as follows. Free Will: The ability of a conscious mind to make choices free of any prior causes. Free will means a mind can freely choose to bring about events that otherwise would not have occurred. Importantly, for free will to exist, there must first exist a conscious mind. Choices cannot be made if there is no conscious mind choosing between alternative outcomes. And if free will is real, then the conscious mind and the physical laws do not have equal authority; it is the mind that must have the higher power, for it is the mind that is choosing the final outcome” (Kindle Locations 42-49).
