No... There are no Verse's that say man has free will in any Bible. I have no clue why people of the Christian or Jewish faith say they have free will. You may have the option to chose between certain things that are before you but they are preset things and you did not chose to chose solely from what's been placed before you. You may want something that is not but you cant chose those things because they are sinful ...

Yes but you have to choose to do the right thing

Another perspective:

Joshua 24:15 - "And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." [NKJV]

On the contrary: Men have free will. And there's no unchangeable fate (blocking every personal attempt). Men are even free to follow his word or not to do so... but it's written that these persons will have to endure the consequences.

Very true about 'consequences'.

Here's how it works:

With the CREATION of any kind of 'intelligent' life - - Jehovah God would automatically also be created 'LAWS' regarding that creation.

For example: Humans are LIMITED, or bound by LAWS; -- of gravity; the need for food and water; the need to sleep; the need to wash; etc etc. This comes with the territory of having 'life'.

-- and then with CREATING the concept of 'free will' (or we might call it 'choices');

there would automatically be such a thing as 'consequences'.

Example: Mankind was created with 'free will'. This means people could choose to 'refuse to breathe'. They could 'choose' to jump off a high cliff. But there are 'consequences'. It comes with the territory.

Likewise with 'moral' things. We have the 'choice' to 'not follow them'. We have the 'choice' to lie, to steal, to rape, to kidnap, etc. But Jehovah will also have an accounting. That's why he actually 'WARNS' or 'Cautions'. That's the whole purpose of 'LAWS'.
