Those are other words alright. Your sovereignly chosen words, not mine.

No one made it up. God created the will. Wait all you like - it's entirely up to your free will, as long as you have that choice-option being submitted to your will.

Not at all.

Perfectly. God's command was heard and responded to by people with sovereign wills.

When God works in you to will, your will remains your will. There's no mention of the will there.

The devil has taken them - not their wills - captive. The devil's will, not theirs. "You" are not your will. You're being vile. Chill out.

Think of it as being perfect, unaltered, and unalterable in its essence at all times. It functions exactly the same pre-fall, post-fall, pre-regeneration, post-regeneration, pre-death, post-death, in heaven, or in hell. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set...
