Is free will considered evil by Christians? Seems to me God gave us free will but we are not to use it.
Sure, use your free will and burn in hell for eternity if you do......seems to me.
Not at all. He wants us to exercise it, but believes we should make good decisions. Just like a parent that extends a child's curfew to 10 P.M. during high school, the parent recognizes that the child may do something stupid (and will summarily punish them) but wants the child to have the power to make their own choices.
