If I read the Bible, it clearly states this..... Please see analogy below for clarification...
A) Free will – Ability to choose without the constraint of necessity or fate.
B) Coercion – The act of persuasion by use of threats or force
Yes, many slight tweaks in definitions can be provided. Additional definitions also apply for free will. Again, this is one very large problem with the English language. However, above are the basic elements which describe the two defined words. Now read the following statements below and honestly assess which defined words above closer represents the answer, A) or B).
Give me your wallet, or I will shoot you. A) or B)?
Pay taxes to the IRS, or receive penalty of jail time or a fine. A) or B)?
Your mother tells you to clean your room, or be grounded for a week. A) or B)?
Believe I'm your God, or I will throw you into a pit of fire forever. A) or B)?
In a nutshell, perform the very specific requested act out of necessity, otherwise suffer a very specific unwanted fate.
I hope this is finally clear?????
The act of choice alone is not what constitutes free will. The act of the choice, with a direct and specific unwanted consequence for not fulfilling the specific request, is classified as coercion, duress, force, or is even presenting an ultimatum. The above examples are fairly straight forward and axiomatic. Not much debate may be presented as to the correct answers. They are all clearly forceful, persuaded, or loaded propositions.
Now, I will demonstrate how basic logic works, to expose how your argument is flawed in the most of fundamental of ways.... Meaning, if you simply replace one main word, with another main word.... Also demonstrating, if the argument carries the EXACT same empty and unfounded meaning, by changing this one main word, then it is not a valid argument. So I will now re-paste your same exact argument points, replacing only one word in each attempt in authority, from post #82.' See how your argument is just as 'authoritative', and the message does not change? Your description still encapsulates the exact same presuppositional meaning.
