With the recent posts concerning "Free Will/No Free Will" and "Losing one's Salvation" - I would like to ask a different form of question. I do not want to discuss free will/no free will in the typical sense of predestination, etc. or if one can lose their salvation.
Rather, I would like to ask "What is the condition of humanities will as it relates to those who are nonbelievers and believers? "
For example, I believe that the non-christian has a will that is in bondage to sin. Both the flesh and the will are slaves to sin.
For the believer, I believe our will has been set free from the chains of sin - however, our flesh has not. Therefore, there is a 'war' going on as we seek to follow our "will" which has been set free by the Holy Spirit through the death of Christ at Calvary.
However, is our will - ever totally "free"?
For example, as much as I "will" it - I will never be able to fly. My "will" is faced with physical limitations. As much as I "will" it - I cannot be a doctor. Currently I do not have the knowledge, therefore my will as mental limitations. T
