Featured Libertarian Free Will???

Would a free-will proponent define free-will as unbiased will?

 

Would it not be free as in unable to be moved by any external agent?

 

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NAS77

19 "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
20 by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
​

When it comes to following God we've never had a choice. Or so we've been told.

 

Deuteronomy 30:14-18 NAS77

14 "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.
15 "See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity;
16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.
17 "But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,
18 I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You shall not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.​

You mean the part where Moses tells Israel that he has set before them life and prosperity or death and adversity? And that they could choose between obeying God. walking in His way and keeping the commandments? And that they could choose between one or the other? Do you mean the very clear and concise way Moses stated that Israel could choose to walk in life or death?

So, yes. I have looked at the context of that text.

 

The reason was to confront them with a choice. Life or death. The blessing or the curse. Then he said CHOOSE one of them. How could they possibly do that unless they had the ability to do so.

Edited to answer the first two questions. His audience was God's chosen people: Israel. Was he explaining soteriology?

16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.
17 "But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,
18 I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You shall not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.
​

The Law was all they had. What else would he be explaining here?

 

Obviously many of them were not.

 

The premise of the OP makes the claim that there is no LFW and then cites Frame's convoluted explanation about choices>>>>

If there is a disconnect between choices and will then the premise of the OP is flawed from the beginning.

 

Don't expect much sense of what the Bible actually does say, from those who call themselves "Reformed/Calvinists". They have a knack of ignoring the plain teachings of Scripture, and have their own theological reasoning which allows them to keep following their folly!

 

Yep, they'll complain that the passages in Deuteronomy apply only to Israel, then they will appropriate Ezekiel 36 to apply to all people.


And now, a selection from the Calvinist's dictionary:

God's permissive will: Stuff that God makes happen by allowing it to happen and/or doesn't stop from happening. (if regular Calvinists see: Adam's sin)

God's decretive will: Stuff that God makes happen. (if hyper-Calvinists see: Adam's sin)

God’s secret will: To save a few and reprobate the rest (secret to Arminians but not to us).

God’s revealed will: a mystery

 

I have been told that it is God's "revealed will" to save only the elect, while His "secret will", the entire world! Sounds like a "double-minded" God to me!

 

Sounds non biblical!
