    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You forgot to mention that if it weren't for the ancient Hebrews exercising their "freewill", God would never have been able to get them out of Egypt. Praise MAN ALMIGHTY for his powerful "freewill"! :rolleyes:

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Proving once again that God's perfect, holy will is ALWAYS DONE! How often have I stated that what God has decreed in eternity will come to past in time and space because man's will (lost and elect alike) and Jesus' are always in sync with God's.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    The Body of Christ was objectively Sanctified in Christ in Eternity and, therefore, subjectively sanctified in Him in Time. Let's begin by laying out some foundational truths: 1. The Body is One (Jn 15:5; Rom 12:5; 1Cor 12:12-13) 2. The Body consists of Priests (1Pet 2:9) who offer living...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You're truly stuck on STUPID! Was Christ in eternity "of this world"? Then neither was his Body in GOD'S EYES! God saw his elect through their Federal Head, which means the elect in ETERNITY were as righteous as their Head. This is how Christ could say that He laid down hjs life for "MY...

    That's because those in the above passage were never given to the Son by the Father.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Which you cannot believe because it doesn't fit your heretical narrative. Since Christ (the Head of the Church) was chosen by God in eternity to be His Servant), likewise the Head's Body (His Church consisting of Abraham's descendants) was also predestined and chosen in eternity to serve God...

    The mentally deranged are always right in their own minds.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    That's a half truth! Every saint was "of the world" in TIME -- but not in eternity. You're so stuck on the grand importance of wicked mankind, you cannot understand that in God's eyes in eternity, His chosen people were never "OF" this world, anymore than Christ himself ever was! In eternity...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    But from the git go of Exodus, the Hebrews rebelled against God and He still RESCUED them! The real turning point for the Hebrews is when their backs were against the Red Sea and the Egyptians were bearing down hard on them Plus God never made his rescue mission conditional upon their ability...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Only you and your ilk would give someone something that you know they would hate and reject. And you would pat yourself on the back for thinking how sweet, compassionate and smart you are. :rolleyes: When it comes to God's ineffectual REJECTING grace, you FWer's conveniently downplay God's...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    So...it's expected and commanded of the Body of Christ to not love the world, while you FWers tell us that their Head loves the world to death. :rolleyes:

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    First, how did their "freewill" allow (grant permission to God?) to deliver them? And why is God alone, all throughout scripture, given 100% credit, for redeeming the ancient Hebrews? Give me one scripture text that praises the ancient Hebrews for lending God a helping hand during His rescue...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Because you think God does irrational, stupid absurd things like sinners would do. God would give fish to someone He knows hates it! :rolleyes: God's holy and perfect character does not allow him to do anything irrational, stupid or absurd. Also, the Gospel reveals everything that sinners...

    The Mystical Union of Christ (the Head) and His Body (His Church) The purpose for this post and the next one is to demonstrate that salvation through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit (2Thes 2:13; 1Pet 1:2) is inextricably linked to the doctrine of the Mystical Union, and that this...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Yup, Jesus died for all his friends, all his sheep, for all his Church, for of God's covenant people and for all of Abraham's descendants -- all of which are explicitly stated in scripture.

    Wow! What an profoundly, insightful post. Who would have ever thunk that man actually has a volition, albeit as corrupt as his heart and human nature.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    It takes nothing less than the efficacy of God's powerful grace to make one willing. God always imposes his good, holy, perfect will upon his little children because they are helpless. But...since you don't believe that God would ever impose his will upon anyone, like a good parent would...
