    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Well then...if you think the only or primary correction for ignorance and blindness is good preaching, then why didn't you support your contention with a passage that actually complements what you wrote, e.g. Eph 4:11? And thank you for your kind wishes.

    I'm very comfortable in my skin AND with what God has revealed to me over these many years. I have no doubts whatsoever on major, important doctrinal issues that I have researched and studied for over 45 years.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You not only would give fish to your next store neighbor that would never eat it but you'd give him rotten fish to boot! And if God spanks me that because I'm merely a little child in his eyes. But He would never spank any professing believer who thinks they are mature, grown up, adult, wise...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    And many Christians also "KNOW" and UNDERSTAND" that Christ didn't die for all mankind in the distributive sense. After all, while you may think God is a village idiot, nonetheless He knew in eternity who would reject Christ, so why in the world would He send his Son to die for such godless...

    Hey, RDBD, this is what you wrote in part earlier about the CURE for ignorance and blindness "...ignorance and blindness are cured through correct preaching of God's Word" Perhaps you should be kind to yourself and check yourself into a mental institution to see what's wrong with your memory...

    So, God failed!? He didn't deliver Abraham's descendants from the clutches of Pharaoh -- himself a type of Satan?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You should pray that God cleans out all the rubbish in your attic. People witness to the non-elect all the time! 24/7 -- every day of the week. Even Jesus witnessed to the non-elect!

    You forgot what you posted earlier about the how we need good pastors to impart truth to us. There was definitely a disconnect between the text you quoted and what you wrote. Did the text in Ps 119 tell us to run out and find good preachers!? :rolleyes: My bible tells me that the Word of God...

    Below is a link to a heartwarming and even spiritually informative true story which anyone can read by clicking on the link below. FWers here think that knowing right from wrong, good from evil, which are intrinsically known by all God's image bearers equates to understanding gospel truth -- a...

    You wouldn't know facts or truth if they had their boot planted in your sunless nether regions.

    I didn't ask you about the Passover which wasn't given to the Egyptians, btw, even though according to FWers God loves everyone under the stars w/o exception and doesn't want anyone on the planet to perish. The Exodus event itself is characterized in scripture as God's REDEMPTION of Abraham's...

    Translate: I cannot give you a straight, honest answer to your Exodus question because the the only correct answer would wreck my false gospel.

    Are you honest and humble enough to take up CV5's slack (which seems to be infinitely long) to answer my Exodus question?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    The scriptures alone are insufficient for curing "ignorance and blindness"? And the Holy Spirit is inadequate for applying truth to a person's heart?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    CV5, Your mindless sleep of death emoticon poignantly testifies against your typology expertise. You can't even give an honest answer to my question about whether or not God efficaciously rescued the ancient Hebrews from Pharaoh, or the Hebrew's "freewill" choice to leave Egypt did. Pathetic!

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Thank you, Jordon. I admit that while I'm not always right, I'm still never wrong. :LOL: But give me ONE thing that I said that you think was in error. I know we disagreed on foreknowledge, whereby you seem to hold to the popular misconception that Foreknowledge is all about God's...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    And finally before I call it a night, I want to wish everyone a joyous and peace-filled Christmas as we contemplate the mind-boggling, incomprehensible humility of God-Incarnate for leaving his eternal glory so that He could live the life that none of us could ever live and die the death that...
