Will, for me, too, means something more. It's about something that essentially exists in word (the "I" or subject of self) asserting itself in a world that also exists essentially in word (as it can have no impact on the physical world).

Was it predetermined to do so or did it choose to do so? And if I'm predetermined to use sarcasm, are you predetermined to correct me for it?
Far too simplistic and mechanistic view of human will. Possibly yes, as I previously posted in great detail potential free will can exist in harmony with determinism in a compatibilist view.

I also hold a compatibilist view, however, the issue is your post "far too simplistic" whereas Paul warns us not to stray from the simplicity of doctrine found in the Bible--I'm often leery of over-sophisticated doctrines that make faith an elitist membership only.
