:::OshnSoul:::,
If god gave us free will then we should be able to identify it in this world. We should feel it. All we have is a concept, which we attach to actions. Yet the mechanics of these actions contradict the meaning of the concept.
Now you can say, “we have free will” all you want but that will not convince me. My problem is that I do not comprehend what free will actually is. I see actions, and I can label them as of free will, yet when I dissect them they become things of circumstance.
You have this wonderful theology built upon free will, but until I can understand free will everything else you say is a moot point.

Wouldn't it be boring just to "be" and not "experience"?

By this line I suppose that if we did not have free will then we would not be able to experience? I don’t agree. We do not perceive events, events force themselves onto us. They cause us to sense them, the sensory data goes into our brains where it is interpreted and memorized. Hence experience. Then we can make a choice on how we respond to the event based on our disposition that is created mainly though previous experiences.
Event > Perception > Response > Event > Perception > Response …

Stretch your abilities beyond that, and you will know that there is more out there than the universe being the way it is.

Indeed, but we cannot use possibilities until we grasp them.

How is their no choice for that which is infinite?

Simple, everything is either a caused or a random event. The wonderful thing about infinity is that we do not need to worry about a first or last cause as there is infinite regress and progress.
