First thanks for the reply, second,
Romans 8:20 "For the creature
was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,". that's the key to choice, and free will.
Genesis 3:22 "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man
is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:"
that's a choice of free will. as with this,
Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
dominion is to act, and this was given unto them by God himself. thay had the right to act either good or bad. that's free will.
