    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    God has it all planned out. God changes the saved, and we willingly and thankfully believe and accept the Holy Spirit. He doesn't force, He changes the motivation for living from love of self first to love of God first and all others as we love ourselves.

    Matt 15: 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. See post # 261. John 17: 3 And this is life eternal, that they know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. "thee, the only true God" and "thou" refer to the one that Jesus is...

    Catholic Mistake #20 The RCC and the Perpetual Virginity of Mary The concept of Mary being a forever virgin once again puts her up on a pedestal and glorifies her for something she is not.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. What is obvious to most people from these two verses is...
