First thanks for the reply. second, well OBSERVATION #1. the link to word hippo is the word, "desire", which is synonyms to the word "FREE WILL". and synonyms means a word that has the same meaning as another word in the same language
so all your OBSERVATION fail. please examine that look and see what the tab is used ... "synonyms".
now OBSERVATION #3. that ends that narrative for me. for "desire", which is synonyms to the word "FREE WILL."

Thanks for the reply 101G, but I went back to your post #28 in this thread, and you can see that the WordHippo link you provided was to "free will", not "desire". I've quoted your post right below. Please notice the end of the link that you provided states "free_will.html#C0-1".
Well lets settle this onece and for all. "Desire" is just another word for free will. I had already look up the word, and the finding can be found here at the word Hippo Dictionary, and here's the link. https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/free_will.html#C0-1
see I already knew what the word ment, it's intresting how people go through hoop to try and defend their position. when they could have just look up the word.

This means that OBSERVATION ONE remains intact.
Here are 3 additionally relevant OBSERVATIONS that continue from post #58
OBSERVATION THIRTEEN: My beloved brother and Apostle Peter wrote to and of the Assembly of God "not desiring for any to perish but for all to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). so let's replace "desiring" with "free willing" to develop the results of such a change.
- "not free willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance" - but "free will" can mean "attraction" and "repulsion", so this can be restated as two simultaneously concurrent clauses as:
- "not attractive for any to perish but for all to come to repentance"
- "not repulsive for any to perish but for all to come to repentance"
OBSERVATION FOURTEEN: utilizing a concept that is unsupported by Scripture to define another concept is deception; in other words, since "free will" is unsupported in Scripture, then using the definition of "free will" as the basis for the definition for "desire" is unsupported for Scripture.
OBSERVATION FIFTEEN: As a result of the above OBSERVATIONs as proofs, the thing called "desire" is not the same as the thing called "free will"; therefore, the WordHippo Thesaurus incorrectly defines "desire" as the power of autonomous volition (free will) resulting in action because WordHippo neglects to account for the corresponding integral point that autonomous volition must, by definition, possess the ability to choose inaction, and the WordHippo Thesaurus incorrectly applies "desire" and "free will" as synonyms.
Integrating "free-will" as part of "desire" or "freewill" as a replacement for "desire" introduces not only arbitrary and capricious meaning, but absolute confusion, so not integrating "free-will" into "desire" results in order (1 Corinthians 14:33).
I would now like to draw attention back to the rest of this page that looks at four reputable and scholarly dictionaries (includes synonyms), and more importantly at scripture cross referencing - that demonstrates "free will" is excluded from the scope of definition of the word "desire" forGenesis 3:6.
"Free will" is absent for the word "desire" definitions and synonyms from each and every of the 4 reputable and scholarly dictionaries mentioned in the rest of this page.
