There is a difference that some (maybe me) do not understand about when they say Agency and Free Agency. In the Book of Mormon it takes about Free Agency. This is talking about the first gift God gave man when he said we would go with Jesus plan and have our agency to chose. This was a free gift from God to us giving us the free agency of choice. We did have to fight for it then as we do now but the gift of agency was a gift given to us of his free will. That is Free Agency.
Agency is the right to do this or that and as Elder Holland and the heads of the L.D.S. Church talk about Agency they are talking about our use of the Agency we have been given, not of how we got that agency.
Agency is the right to pick what we will do.
Free Agency is a gift That is given freely by the one that has the power.
When you are control you have no Agency.
When you get freedom, you then have the right of Agency and it came to you by?: a free gift, escape or war. Mine was given to me so I was given Free Agency, America was given agency through war, many slaves win freedom by escaping. Once you have Agency you have a Responsibility because you must decide and live with what happens.
