ANY of the thousands of "gods" proposed, imagined, worshiped, loved, feared, and/or fought over by humans MAY exist -- awaiting verifiable evidence

Post #11Wouldnt the concept of a freewill offering require the existence of free will?Zzyzx wrote: Notice that in the source you mention most of the passages cited refer to 'will' and 'free' separately, not one says anything about humans being given freewill by 'god' -- AND when the term is used, it typically refers to 'freewill offerings'
Or are you asking if the philosophical doctrine of free will is explicitly described in the Bible?
