Do commandments and threats negate free will?

[Greatest I am]

I don't think anything negates free will. Somethings may make it a little difficult but that's it.

A little. Yes.

Like a little gun.

Do you have the ability to make decisions for yourself? If you do, then free will cannot be "negated".

You really ought to read the scientific link I posted.
You're not addressing 'free will'.

Free will is the ability to make a decision of your own volition.

Not the action, the decision to act/not act.

Read the link I posted.....it should help you understand.

Yep. The one threatening to kill you does not have a thing to do with your free will to live.

Yep....just like your failed argument against the Commandments and religion.
The will to live is a strength of character.
The will to reject an imposed religion also a strength of character.
But so is the opposite.....the will to die and the will to embrace religion.

Free will is only about the ability to make mental decisions of one's own volition......carrying them out is a different matter.

That's the problem with sophistry.....getting caught at it
