I didnt point out it not being in the bible to say that is proof it doesnt exist...just that the opposite being in the bible and it not making the case for free will not as cut and dry as people make it out to be.
Certainly our choices at a minimum APPEAR free. But whether they are truly free or being guided in some way is not conclusive. Certainly God holds people responsible for their actions but theres also biblical evidence that God is predestining certain events (which could not have occurred absent certain choices by people). So it can get pretty complicated when you really start trying to explain it all. Im not saying i know the answer, I’m simply saying its not as simple as you make it out to be. This debate has been going on for centuries and even exists in Islam. We wont be able to solve it but certainly worth exploring
