tpfkar Christian theology needs absolute free will that is independent of causality. Without that form of free will, evil cannot be the fault of mankind, and a lottery determines who will accept Christ as saviour. Nobody would suggest that they aren't "making choices based on their wants, character, and characteristics", but none of that is any different from what would happen in a deterministic universe without what you call "free will". No, you give them free will as an "argument". Having free will is meaningless as God obviously creates peeps both with free will and with what's needed to get in heaven - he just arbitrarily creates some with all the combination needed and some without. And cause and effect in no what impacts free will, as we're all part and parcel of it, clipping along, doing our thing. And if one actually believes that no actual choice exists, then trying to convince them or anyone of anything one way or another is high irrationality.
