The Strong delusion
Amrhrasach:
AK4 said: “Is there anything stronger than this the illusion of "free will"--with every doctrine and almost every religion this will link. I have thought hard about this and this "free will" links to them all. They all link to the thought of free will."
Here’s one particular voicing that Ray has given concerning free-will AK4.
Ray: “I will show that free will is indeed an "idol of the heart" which needs to be repented of. And of all man’s sacred cows, free will is the most sacred of all. It is undoubtedly the most difficult doctrine in man’s walk with God to acknowledge and give up. And though neither science nor Holy Scripture know anything of a power called "free will," most will continue to defend it even in the light of a mountain of Scriptural proof that contradicts it at every turn.”
“And of all man’s sacred cows, free will is the most sacred of all.”

“Sacred” doesn’t have to be explained. So, it would appear that “free-will” ranks high in terms of “illusion”. And notice he did say “all”.
Seems in-line with most all religions, and even Ray says the atheist crowd is in agreement with free-will.

It's true that it is an extremely difficult idol to give up.
Even after you come to the truth that you do not have free will, it is still very hard to not have the attitude that goes along with it.
For example, trying to do things in the flesh and feeling proud about the thing you have learnt even though they are nothing to do with you.

Pride cometh before a falling away. We are all falling away and giving that Man of sin notice of eviction.
