The Bible says God's Power and Will were done in those people. They had no choice but to do it. Do you think it was possible they could have refused doing this? If God made them do it how come it's not by Command? Didn't God say Let there be light and we call it a Command? When Jesus said to the...

According to Reformed John Piper, who I listen to a lot: God's Will is done by Command: “The will of God” in the Bible is what we can call his “will of command.” Which this falls under that category: 27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in...

We read all over the Bible that God Loves, God is Merciful, God is Gracious. We even read that mankind is God's Own Offspring. Why would a Loving, Merciful, full of Grace God being killing His Own Children for Glory? Sounds mentally illogic. It's clear that God is Love and desires to be loved...

It did or God's Will would not have happened. 27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen...

Jesus said People will either accept or reject His Words. He told His Own Disciples if they reject you they reject His Words. The Gospel is Jesus Words. Jesus said therefore people can accept them or reject them. Jesus even said in the Parable of the Wedding Ceremony He sent invitations out but...

It's pretty easy to skim pages and it was right after your post until my post which is roughly 20+ minutes. I read the first couple words and can tell if it's about Free Will or not. And Pilate, Pharisee/Sadducees, Herod are a special situation made just for Jesus. I hate when people take...

I went through past 50 or so pages and see NOWHERE that anyone ever claimed they could circumcise their own hearts and ears, unblinded their own selves, and made themselves alive while they were yet dead. All I have read is people are able to yield or reject, the same as the Bible claims. No...

It all still means they were not able to do something else.

I never said these people had no choice in the matter. Before they were ever created, ever were appointed to live, they all came on earth around same times or that they all would be on earth at the same time as Jesus was on earth. And they were always going to do this. They were always going to...

Interesting. I haven't been following since I am not voting but saw this headline. Thank You for updating me (y)

The BIBLE says it. Not me. I am REPEATING the Bible. How are you forced to do anything? It has to be a Command by God that forced them to do it. Or Decree. Either way God said it will be done and they had no choice but to do it.

AMEN! It most definitely was by the Father's power and will that they did kill Jesus. They had no choice but to do it even if they did not want to do it.

It amazes me that you most likely read this from Rufus but still posted what you did. 27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had...

8 just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, until this very day. ....but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles

I am talking about Free Will in general. But those Pharisees were indeed blinded and deafened by God on purpose.

Their Free Will was definitely removed. They were blinded and deafened by God.

It's about Jesus. How are we Holy and Unspotted? Jesus. The verse explains we are this because of Jesus.

All throughout the entire Old Testament God did not deter the Leaders in any way. But the moment Jesus arrives and the Law was to end all of a sudden the Leaders now become blinded and deafened. These people in any other time would be looking for the Messiah. But during Jesus time they some...

The Concept that God is All Powerful is yes. But the concept of God choosing who goes to Heaven and to Hell is not.
