The bigger question is, what is our will and how free are we to decide it? Which goes to he created evil for a purpose to make us failed beings, but still our eternal fate rest on our decisions. Also seems that most don't choose God willingly, but simply out of fear of being tortured by him for all eternity, so in that, fear as a factor plays a role in our decision. I could say I'm in love with a girl, I could place a gun against her head and tell her if she doesn't say she loves me, I will shoot. She will say she loves me out of fear.
Simply, they're many factors in our make up, not of our choosing, that makes us choose one way or the other. Is that true free will?
