[/quote]Upgraded instinct. God's big gift to humankind (and ultimately, our stumbling block), displayed in the first few chapters of the Bible, is the gift of free will, to make decisions outside of our preprogramming. Without free will there is no sin, so therefore no need for Christ's sacrifice. True love ("agape love" which God wants from his followers) requires free will. You cannot truly love without free will. Love is central to the Christian faith.[/quote]


This is just a slightly different take on free will from anything I've heard before. Just different enough to be logical and wonderful. I think I had a moment.

Thanks very much.
