Preface
Is there ever significant, human, moral and ethical responsibility for acts and actions? In general, do human beings have 'deeds'?
Revelation 20:12
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

If human actions were coerced or forced with hard determinism, persons could not be held morally responsible. Pojman (1996: 596).
At the same time, if human beings are not at least a secondary cause of actions primarily caused by God, then human actions would be morally insignificant. My view based on Stace (1952)(1976: 30).
