I am not speaking theology, or is this God working, or is this free will speaking, I am saying
we need to walk with Jesus from the heart.
It strikes me some people do not believe this, to the extent, they are fearful of what is within.
I have lived with people with defended hearts, and equated this with being human and not
shutting Jesus out, so simply freezing at a particular point in life.
I have walked into families where an important member has died, yet the relationships appear
to still be as if the person is still there. So having an open heart and letting hurts and incidents
move us on, is not a religious issue or observation, it is a life issue, how we work as people.
Jesus is our deepest friend and should affect us to our core, is our foundation to who we are
in Christ. This is His amazing Grace, His gift of love.
All I am called to do, is to say Jesus as the vine, is our life blood, yet it sounds like this is not
everyones cry. So among the religious language and ideas, I call out, how you let Gods word
dwell within you matters, it defines what you will become. Believe and have faith and trust in
His leading.
Pelagianism would be people can be moral outside of communion with God, which I would never
accept. I could theorise, but it does not work.
But suggesting this makes me wonder why an open heart is something you do not like?

I am not against an open heart towards God and His truth..I am not sure how you understand it as you never quite explain, nor use scripture to show how you see this as truthful!.
No one has suggested that we do not walk with Jesus from the heart..why do you flip the conversation? we were discussing how one gets that 'heart' in the first place? (Your above post has flipped the conversation rather than answering).
