If the Bible(written by MAN not God)says so much about freewill why do Christians and the like constantly try to run peoples lives?

(2 Timothy 3:16, 17) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

Who is trying to run whose life? Am I trying to run yours? God gave us "free will" for only one reason - so that we could choose to worship God of our own volition. Any other exercise of "free will" is taking it and running with it.

12-26-2016 In the 19th century Americans started moving west and three institutions went with them. There was vaudeville, traveling entertainment. There was lyceum, traveling education and culture. And there was the itinerant preacher, offering a new style of preaching called "hell fire and brim stone". It was very entertaining, only loosely based on scripture, and pastors didn't even try to compete. Instead they switched to preaching public morality and philosophy. Eventually an entire generation grew up not knowing the first thing about the religion they claimed to believe. That is why most Christian churches don't teach doctrines, and most members don't know what they are supposed to believe. People who read the bible instead of listening to random preachers do a little better, but there aren't many of those.
