There is no such thing as "limited" free will. Free implies unlimited, if it is limited then it is not free.

I think free will is God's will personally. If you aren't free then you are enslaved.
Nothing makes you follow Gods will... You to follow it or carve your own path...
free will always prevails unless God chooses otherwise...

So now you are going back on what you said? I'm confused.

I'm living on Earth (hell) which is within the cosmos (heaven). So I'm between heaven and hell.

If god chooses otherwise then free will does not prevail by default.

Jesus is not a creation, which means He is also not an angel.
I did not state Brother was an angel. He was the first created before all.
Angels are not even angels in the sense that they are messengers. They do much more than just pass messages.
Jesus is God
Father and Brother are separate. When Brother was here, he and Father were one. But, above, he is seated to his immediate right.
God is pouring out His Spirit upon those seeking Him in humility with their whole heart, for now is the time of harvest before the culmination of all things.
This is of truth, you seem to think I think differently.edit on 27-5-2013 by jhill76 because: (no reason given)
John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.”
John 8:58 "I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. "
Acts 20:28 "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood."
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Your ability to recognize the truths I'm sharing doesn't mean you serve them. I do not know what you think, I only know what you say. However my understanding of your perspective as I previously addressed, and the subtle deceit you weave among few truths, leads me to speculate that you are either A.) utterly delusional and seeking interaction which best serves your desire to maintain character; or B.) thoroughly aware of the fact that you are leading men astray because that is your intent.
Limited and free are not compatible words, so it's contradictory to explain "free" will as limited.

So free will does not prevail...?
So why did you say it did at first? I'm not being difficult, I just think you are using faulty logic here. No offense.
Not knowing whether god chose for you or not does not take away the fact that you believe he chooses at some point. If free will is limited then it is not free will.

So why not just call it limited will?
You are assuming that it wasn't your choice to wear that colored shirt. If you do not know when or where god chooses for you then you are only assuming whether he is or isn't in a certain situation.
You say you don't deal with assumptions, but you obviously do.
