The middle ground here seems not only theologically sound but biologically coherent as well. We have a constrained will.
Free will has never and will never exist since we are finite beings. We have a _constrained_ will that is boxed in by a number of factors: time, money, biology, knowledge, circumstances, etc. Theologically, that will is also constrained by our nature. There are certain spiritual things we cannot do in the same way we cannot do certain physical things.
