I often hear from christians that "god will provide", yet their are many christians who look to the government to provide. basically putting the government in god's place.
it definitely shows a lack of faith and borders on worshipping an idol god.

Which church?

I can show from Scripture that there is no such thing as "free will".

Also, if you think this idea of free will "goes hand in hand with liberty", then you have to show it. I would argue the exact opposite and can show from history that the cultures who rejected the idea of free will were the most free.

Roman Catholic Church. The Bible was only inspired by Jahveh. It's is prone to human error, even in translation.

If you cannot control your own fate, that means you have no real choice. No choice means no liberty.

It the Bible is prone to human error and translation, why do you think it was inspired by God? Could not this idea have been a human error or faulty translation?

If the Bible is prone to human error, why accept the Roman Catholic Church's potentially faulty human interpretation and translation of it? Likewise, if the Bible is prone to error, then why is not the Roman church also prone to error?

If both the Bible and the Roman church's injuctions are prone to errors, then why are not your interpretations of both the Bible and the Roman church's injuctions of free will likewise faulty? Why should I accept your faulty intepretation of both of these supposed authorities?
