[QUOTE="childeye 2, post: 77664446, member: 412375"] In my view, the terminology "free will" never gets qualified in these discussions. What exactly the will is supposedly free from is never defined and the term just morphs from one nuance of freedom to another essentially becoming an equivocation in reasoning. Anyway, it's not reasonable that the term "free will" can ever mean a true opposite to determinism (a will free from determinism). And this is why I think compatibility will appear philosophically plausible to many. So, as I see it, in Christian theology the Eternal power is the Spirit of an incorruptible Love. Determinism is therefore the inevitable revelation of the True Image of God with that being the ultimate cause and purpose for existence. Therefore, the topic of determinism is strictly a moral/immoral issue where the will is either going to be more subject to morality (free from unrighteousness), or more subject to immorality (free from righteousness), according to an ignorance and knowledge of God (carnal mind vs spiritual mind).
