Theory of free will

[Clovis]

Will, as it is thought, applies by very nature to a persons volition or aim in action. Often we use the words strong-willed to illustrated the integrity and ambition of an individual. If we throw sin and free will into the equations, we find that sinful behavior is gutturally natural and is a far easier chosen than upright behavior; Also once a person makes a habit out of sin, it becomes all that much more difficult to get on a prudent path, and all that much easier to sin. From this, it is possible to conclude that good behavior is an active will, while sin is anti-will, given its ease and exacerbating effect.

 

[Lyfaber]

I think you may be confusing “will” with “intentionality”. will is a faculty of the soul, a power for opposites. It can will or not will, and will either a or b. Habits are formed by a series of volitional acts, and can be either good or bad. In either case, they condition further acts in the good/bad direction. Intentionality is something related to the moral value of an act, the meaning of it. it is distinct from the will itself, however.

You’re probably right.
