    Simple way that the bible teaches Free Will

    You said choice doesn't apply ability, its makes no difference what ability is in question. You need more than one option to make a choice, and option is a alternative possibility. That means simply, you need the ability to preform each option, or it is not a choice.

    That is a category error, you can't make a choice to keep the law, that includes a countless number of choices throughout a persons life. analogy: Is it logically possible for you to flip heads on a coin every time 50 times a day throughout your whole life? Will you do it? NO.

    Conditional monergism.. You can forfeit salvation.

    Works are "works of the law", not a conditional requisite. No one believes faith is a meritorious work.

    Conditional monergism.. You can forfeit salvation.

    Faith is a condition, not a meritorious work, (no one believes that nonsense). Agree The holy spirt is a guarantee to every believer, if you remain believer. This is why "believers" are predestinated. Faith is what humans do. (Acts 16:31)

    Hypothetically yes. In every situation he has a choice to obey or disobey but the flesh is weak so won't happen one way every single time.... that assumes more than one simple choice throughout the course of action. Any dictionary will show you what the definition of choice and options are...

    Conditional monergism.. You can forfeit salvation.

    People often confuse the gift with the condition, they are correct saying no one can separate those in Christ (believers) out of the hand of God. But later rejecting Christ, Is how God separates you. God himself removes those who do not abide in Christ (Joh 15:5-6, Ro 11:22). As to Romans...

    Its not an actual choice if there is no ability. A choice is power to choose between alternative possibilities. You can't argue that, you have to have the abilities to perform either action, if its actually a choice. If I say choose between flying to the store or walking to the store. You...

    What makes men unable to love God? If they unable to have any other option than evil, that is not a choice. Romans 1:16 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Yes after we made a choice

    So you and the Bible are talking about two different things? All I did was present the Bible verses that seem overwhelming universal in nature. But Peter didn't have it figured out? 2 Peter 2:1 2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers...

    1st Corinthians 15 Universal atonement

    We know that now but Paul is reminding them what he told them when they were still lost. If Paul was in a group of unbelievers preaching the gospel and says "Jesus died for our sins" that would be Paul and the group he was talking to, that logically entails Paul is teaching an unlimited...
