The Bondage of the Will

> But as the topic illustrates and as you seem to enjoy avoiding, Seems unnecessarily hostile. We just started talking and I made an observation. It’s not a dissertation. > it completely obliterates religions (Christianity's) foundational theology. Care to comment on that? Free Will isn’t foundational theology. The foundational theology is that humanity's will is "in bondage" to sin. I’m Lutheran. Based on the Bible, in spiritual matters and salvation people do not have the free will to choose God on their own. This stance is a foundational principle of traditional Lutheran theology. It outlined in Martin Luther’s famous work The Bondage of the Will, and summarized in the Augsburg Confession.
