No doubt, that's what leads us to destruction. Salvation isn't an imposition, it's a rescue. We jump into Niagara Of Our Own Free Will, God pulls us out before we go over the falls. That's a rescue. That's being saved. Once our vaunted Free Will tosses us into the river, it's helpless. We're still free - to be smashed on the rocks at the base of the falls. Our will is unhindered, but it's helpless to get us out of the water. We can call for help, but the calling itself doesn't affect our rescue, either someone else saves us, or we die.
THere's no debate that we possess Free Will; we prove it every time we sin. The trick is that Will, free or otherwise, doesn't save anyone. We have to be rescued, and only God can do that. And in the saving, He requires neither our aid nor our permission. The lifeguard doesn't ask you permission to drag you our of the water any more than the EMT asks if it's OK with you for him to use the defibrillator if you're in cardiac arrest. Ooooh, isn't that the same as rape? Ponder on that and get back to me.
Free Will is remarkably good at getting us into jams and relatively worthless at getting us out. On top of thqat, it ain't all that free. There's a reason why weight loss schemes are a multi-gigabuck industry. The will to lay off the vittles is there, but somehow folks find they aren't free from compulsion in doing it. Ever tried to give up smoking? Isn't easy, is it? Neither is breaking an opioid habit. The will is there, but freedom to act? Much less so. The same is true in many things, The will is there, but the freedom, for whatever reason, is not.
So salvation a matter of "Free Will"? If so, most if not all of us have a reserved seat in that proverbial handbasket.
