Free Will

Sirach 15:11-20      DO NOT SAY, “IT IS THROUGH THE LORD THAT I FELL AWAY”, FOR YOU OUGHT NOT TO DO THE THINGS THAT HE HATES.
    DO NOT SAY, “HE HAS CAUSED ME TO ERR”: FOR HE HAS NO NEED OF THE SINFUL MAN.
    THE LORD HATES ALL ABOMINATION; AND THEY THAT FEAR THEOS (The Alpha & Omega) DO NOT LOVE IT.
    HE HIMSELF MADE MAN FROM THE BEGINNING, AND LEFT HIM IN THE HAND OF HIS COUNSEL;
    IF YOU WILL, TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS, AND TO PERFORM ACCEPTABLE FAITHFULNESS.
    HE HAS SET FIRE AND WATER BEFORE YOU: STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND UNTO WHETHER YOU WILL.
    BEFORE MAN IS LIFE AND DEATH; AND WHICHEVER HE CHOOSES SHALL BE GIVEN HIM.
    FOR THE WISDOM OF THE LORD IS GREAT, AND HE IS MIGHTY IN POWER, AND BEHOLDS ALL THINGS:
    AND HIS EYES ARE UPON THEM THAT FEAR HIM, AND HE KNOWS EVERY WORK OF MAN.
    HE HAS COMMANDED NO MAN TO DO WICKEDLY, NEITHER HAS HE GIVEN ANY MAN LICENSE TO SIN.
