Question: Why is being able to change sides not free will?
God’s answer:
Question: Let me get this right. When the angels and Adam and Eve began doubting their selves (which is you), they made a choice to go against your better judgement, and thus developed a self. So, until they made that choice, they did not sin yet... so to doubt you is not a sin?
God’s answer:
Question: So, even when they just doubted you. They already made a choice to have a self?
God’s answer:
Meaning: Even if they chose to agree with the righteousness of God, within them, they still went through the mental process of making their own decision. At which point, they already made a choice. God explains this more.
