An Article on free will

I would agree with that.

Man by nature, carnal mind cannot submit to the Law of God,hence cannot submit to God, cant separate God from His Law Rom 8:7

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

And their will isnt free to change that !
The judge doth accuses. But remember
Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
 
Its a spiritual inability remember ? A carnal person can believe naturally, just like a devil can believe James 2

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

A devil and a natural man can believe in God, but its not a Gospel believing that pleases God and obeys God. See True believing requires a spiritual obedience and love for the Truth Rom 10:16


But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?


can a devil do that ? No, neither can a person in the flesh because they cannot please God,or obey God.
You cannot address this can you

Luke 8:13 (LEB) — 13 And those on the rock are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, and these do not have enough root, who believe for a time and in a time of testing fall away.

and why it was necessary to harden these so they do not believe

John 12:40 (LEB) — 40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn, and I heal them.”
