Matthew 10:26 - Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

How can it be revealed if God doesn't know it.? Everything you say and think and have done is recorded and will be revealed in the judgement. God knows all this before you do it.

Psalm 139:16 -
You saw me before I was born.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.

What is freewill?

Freewill is a compound word.

* Free indicates:
An individual taking, having, possessing something without an encumbrance of incurring a Debt.

*Will indicates:
An individuals desires, decisions, choices, agreements, to take, to have, to possess, OR to offer, to give…presently receiving or future receiving.

Point being…”agreeing” IS the operative key word, between one offering and one taking without force.

The offering, the agreeing, the taking….
between one and one may Plainly reveal there is no DEBT incurred…YET
The WHY one offers another something…
The WHO one offers another something…
The WHAT one offers another something…
The WHEN one offers another something…
** The METHOD, (condition) of receiving an offering of something from one to another…
IS a Paramount portion of the Agreement.

USUAL “agreements” between man and man often require both mens “WORD” of agreement.
* Sometimes in additions to mens “word” of agreement… a handshake, a signed document, a stamp of verified authenticity on a document, a third party’s word, signature, as a witnesses to the agreement … or other methods that two men (without) force have agreed and “locked” their deal between the two…(sharing a pipe smoke, sharing the same tattoo’s, intentional shared scars, intentional blood mixing, gift exchanges, oaths, gestures, sacred items touched, held, etc. whatever two decide is acceptable to SEAL their agreement.

Not a phenomena…men freely offer “agreements” and men freely “accept” offers of “agreements”….SEAL their “agreements”…
(For themselves “individually”, or As a “spokesperson/ representative for a group”)…
AND
* then Later another spokesperson, representative, group, decide to “change, withdraw, negate, void, no longer participate”… expressly by breaking, “un-sealing” the agreement.

Just identifying…individual one on one, and group agreements have different methods for inclusions and exclusions and making and breaking agreements.

Regarding Scriptural context…
* Anciently, one on one agreements were made between God and one person.
( still applies today ).
* Anciently, agreements of groups of men making an agreement with God, was effected via “individual mens word” and a “middle man”….(representative)…freely giving the “groups agreeing word” to God.
( still applies today ).

What has “changed” ?
* The Offering is still Exclusively Gods Offering.
* The Freely Accepting of Gods Offering still applies today.
* The one on one Acceptance of Gods Offering still today has terms, (a specific Way to Accept).
* The “representative” (middleman), is exclusively JESUS.
* The ‘individuals” Acceptance “IS” permanent, without option to change, or break the SEAL of the agreement.

Whereby “agreements” between men MAY come with an OPTION, a “clause” to break the Seal of Agreement…

Gods Offering comes with a WARNING…to BE diligent, sure, very aware that your Freely, Willingness to MAKE an Agreement WITH God…IS Permanent…There IS NO “clause” for a man to Break the Seal of their Agreement with God!

Glory to God,
