So determining your will so you cannot chose in any way other than you were determined to is not coercion?I stopped reading after the word "coerced".
Free will: "the natural ability to make choices without force or coercion."

Nope. If your claiming coercion is necessary, another Provisionist false premise, you will have to prove it.So determining your will so you cannot chose in any way other than you were determined to is not coercion?
Yes I did determine it. Read my apology again.No you did not determine it, but you had thought you could, but it was a fail.
The only thing shown to be false was your claim you could determine me to take my shoes off.
I think most will intuitively reject your claimNope. If your claiming coercion is necessary, another Provisionist false premise, you will have to prove it.
Intuitively? You mean you presuppose. I thought Provisionist were presupposition free?I think most will intuitively reject your claim
It takes a belief in Calvinism to hold these mutually contradictory beliefs
The proof of that is compatibilism was never how anyone defined free will
You can, you simply won't. You don't have to look down when I yell your shoes are on fire. But you will. And freely do so.So determining your will so you cannot chose in any way other than you were determined to is not coercion?
Sure. Let's say I have determined you to take your shoes off. You refuse. I yell hey your shoes are on fire and you quickly take them off. Did you freely take them off? You certainly did not have to right?
Okay. I determined you would laugh in my example. Did you freely choose to laugh?
Sounds like you won't answer tge question. Did he freely look down at his shoes??The only thing laughable is that you see the actual result and you change what you claimed would be determined. Sounds like a slick snake-oil salesman technique to me.
There you go again changing your determination to fit the result.Sounds like you won't answer tge question. Did he freely look down at his shoes??
You changed your determination from having him take his shoes off to having him just look at his shoes because your first determination did not occur.Sure. Let's say I have determined you to take your shoes off. You refuse. I yell hey your shoes are on fire and you quickly take them off. Did you freely take them off? You certainly did not have to right?
I did not change it, one of your fellow Provisionist did trying to avoid answering the question. You know, like your doing.There you go again changing your determination to fit the result.
You changed your determination from having him take his shoes off to having him just look at his shoes because your first determination did not occur.
Yes you did and I provided proof. Here is your original determination which you subsequently changed:I did not change it,
Snake oil salesmen techniques might work around your circles but they don't work around here.Sure. Let's say I have determined you to take your shoes off. You refuse. I yell hey your shoes are on fire and you quickly take them off. Did you freely take them off? You certainly did not have to right?
Whoope. Either way did he freely take his shoes off or in the second, look down. It's painfully obvious you do not wish to answer.Yes you did and I provided proof. Here is your original determination which you subsequently changed:
... or a million other determinations until you find one determination that actually occurs.Whoope. Either way did he freely take his shoes off or in the second, look down. It's painfully obvious you do not wish to answer.
Still trying to move the goal posts I see. You had determined to make me take my shoes off and you failedYou can, you simply won't. You don't have to look down when I yell your shoes are on fire. But you will. And freely do so.
Talking to a Calvinist is oftentimes like talking to a brick wall. Their minds are so much flooded with their false presuppositions that they are blind to objective reality.Still trying to move the goal posts I see. You had determined to make me take my shoes off and you failed
Sorry but that is exactly how they defined free will substantively.Intuitively? You mean you presuppose. I thought Provisionist were presupposition free?
No it don't. Another false premise.
And libertarian free will is never how anyone defined free will.
It was from Manichean Gnosticism certain ideas of Augustine were first seen.Talking to a Calvinist is oftentimes like talking to a brick wall. Their minds are so much flooded with their false presuppositions that they are blind to objective reality.
They go as far as thinking they are Oracles because they think they're onto special truths that explains life and its future, like Pres is attempting to demonstrate here. That's Gnosticism.
So I take that as a yes?... or a million other determinations until you find one determination that actually occurs.
It's painfully obvious that your snake oil salesman technique has crashed and burned here. Stop embarrassing yourself.
Correct. @civic has uploaded a ton of information about that for those in the audience who are interested.It was from Manichean Gnosticism certain ideas of Augustine were first seen.
It is? Show me one that mentioned libertarian free will. Do some cherry picking as you and yours love to do.Sorry but that is exactly how they defined free will substantively.
External compulsion was ruled out
The terms libertarian was coined only because of the invention of compatibilist freewill
