There are more verses in the Bible that seem to say we DON'T

The Bible is a Paradox...???

Basically we have a choice to accept Life...the opposite of LIFE???? DEATH of course. How is that free will? OR is it because God made us to live with and worship Him...thus, we have the CHOICE to accept DEATH if we want to...but why should we when we already have LIFE?

Don't we have the right on this earth to pick and choose what we want out of LIFE? I dont think God is going to tell us what to do. It is our choice and out of our choices he works with us right where we are.

God wants us to be happy and he allows us to choose what we think is best for our lives here on earth. Each choice that we make is a stepping stone to yet another stone that leads us either to LIFE or to DEATH...

Any choice along the way can be changed. There are many paths to take, each of them with their own lessons. But the CHOICE is OURS.
