I’m going to answer this with a little help from A.I.: The concept of free will is a complex philosophical topic, and there are different perspectives and theories on its na...

“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doin...
