One of the common arguments for free will is that life without free will is empty. I have a problem with that statement. Not only is this argument used as a substitute for Biblical evidence, but it portrays free will as if it's the central most important thing to them. Suddenly, it's no longer about living for Jesus, but it's about our power to act on our own.
So which is it? Is it Christ who gives our lives meaning, or is it free will? Christ is still the same, with or without the free will to follow Him. Christ is still the one who died for the sins of the world so that we could have life more abundant. So why does it sound like free will is more import to some than Jesus?
