God violates "free will" all of the time.
Did we ask to be born ?
But this doesn't mean that we don't have SOME free will.
Did Jesus ever ask individuals for participation in the accomplishment of His will (i.e. the exercise of faith, obedience, etc.) ?
My recollections ...
* He asked the father of the demon-stricken son if he had faith.
* He directed the servants at the wedding to fill the water jars.
* He asked a boy for his lunch.
* He asked the man at the pool of Bethesda if he wanted to be healed.
* He asked blind Bartimeaus to go wash his (mud-covered) eyes.
And it occurs to me that scripture says that there were places where Jesus could not act in a mighty way ... because of lack of faith ...
But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
Mark 6:4-6
Jesus also indicated that men could resist the will of God ...
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under
her wings, and ye would not! Matthew 23:37
