If the Devil controls them, is it really free will?
IOW, the OP question answers itself.
It depends who you are talking about. Before we were saved, we were in bondage, slavery, to sin:
“But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.” (Ro 6:17 NKJV)
That includes our wills. Luther wrote a book called "The Bondage of the Will." Jesus Christ sets the sinner free from that bondage.
I don't think it does, there isn't enough explanation or answers.
There should be an answer that human free will needs to be controlled by God.
Human free will of choosing How to live by God can not control itself.
Human free will on how behave can happen once they know how to control themselves to live in accordance with God and his spirit.
Human free will can be controlled by evil intent, which is not permitted by God.
Which ever way you look at it human free will when it's comes to spiritual matters.needs to be controlled by God first, before people can even have any free will to choose what is right by God.
We have free will, but God can intervene/ control it when He pleases, usually sinners, though.
Examples: 1. Pharoah when Israel was wanting to leave Egypt.
2. Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel. He was a sinner but God said he was "my servant"
3. God forcing Baalim to bless Israel.

only people who behave like control freaks think they can control there free will by themselves is my lifetime experience, then probably people with OCD try but develop OCD as a resultI VOTED!
because they don't know what free will is. Basicilly free will is a head shrink.But in my lifetime experience I've only ever witnessed people being truly humble after they've suffered a loss, considerably some time later.
God uses his will to control his choice you have it backwardsOur human free will is freely controlled by CHOICE.
dude its not that complicated, choice is like motivation, both need disaplin to carry them on
That how will works, will is determined by action not choice
that's how it works in the Oxford dictionary, but in God's words he gives you a choice as well as his will to make his choice.
If you don't make his choice, his will judges you. It really is as simple as that.
While making choices is an act of the will, being able to make choices doesn't equate to free will.
