It is God who binds you and not you yourself , and so you are accountable to yourself and society , but not to God. In this world you are doing everything freely , but in God's presence you are just a puppet. If I am bound to err , it doesn't absolve me of the action as it has been done by me , and if you hurt me , again you are accountable for it as it is done by you. It is only in God's presence that you are innocent as you are a puppet in his hand , but in man's world you are accountable and responsible for every action unless society frees you of that responsibility on the grounds of insanity on your part. You are always the agent and as such always responsible for your every action and inaction.
