    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    I have a question for one and all: The menu bar that contains all the various icons by which we can enhance our messages is greyed out on my computer. I thought maybe something went amiss with my Firefox browser, so I rebooted but nothing changed. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    So you're big now on typology, are you? Tell me: Since the Exodus is a type of Redemption, did Abraham's descendants' "freewill" save them from Pharaoh or was it all God's efficacious rescuing grace/power?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Typical of you. You missed the salient point altogether, preferring to strain at gnats only to choke on a camel. And besides, Einstein's theory is still out thre in the world and is being studied and debated, etc.

    FTFY! Why can't you be honest?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Your Zzzzs (symbolizing sleep) are a metaphor for DEATH, which sounds about right for you since that's the third metaphor you willfully mangle. You're quite the little strikeout artist, aren't you?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    What good is knowledge to one incapable of understanding? Did you ever give to your young children the knowledge of Einstein's Theory of Relativity? If they did, did they understand it?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Well in that case, then, God obviously WANTS far more people to perish under his grace than he wants to save. God has two purposes for his grace -- "yes" and "no".

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You should be praying for God's mercy upon you! You're far too proud to admit that you are but a little lost, helpless, weak, frail, vulnerable child before God; yet, it's only humble little children who will enter the kingdom of God per Jesus. Plus you also don't believe that you're a...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Spiritually, yes! And as you know from the thousands of zombie flicks you have watched over your lifetime, that once someone becomes a zombie, that zombie CANNOT help himself. He can't UNDO what was he has become! In fact, it takes a real person to put the poor zombie out of his misery --...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    He's obligated to keep his unconditional, unilateral New Covenant promises to Abraham's descendants and, of course, the promises the Lord made to Abraham himself. To the rest of the human race...not so much; for He never made a universal redemptive covenant with the entire human race.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    But not to the worldly wise. Only God-fearing believers are capable of understanding spiritual truth.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You're deaf and blind and understand nothing. Besides, that second lump that God made in eternity for common purposes freely choose to have nothing to do with God. They are responsible for the choices they make. And God is under no obligation to give His saving, rescuing grace to any sinner.

    Is your mind in deep freeze mode -- frozen in time? :rolleyes: I have answered your question.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Since you love the world, that makes you an enemy of God (1Jn 2:15-17; 2Cor 6:14-18). Congratulations.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Isn't that the loving thing to do with our neighbors? To wish them well. Should we wish harm, misery, evil to our neighbors instead?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    I answered your question. I have no love for the world that Jesus didn't pray for in Jn 17. What about you?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    God is no Aavior. He simply provides opportunities for adult, prideful, self-reliant, self-serving, self-sufficient, self-serving sinners to decide their own eternal fate. Since you obviously do not think of yourself as a little child before God Almighty, I'd say that your eternal destiny is...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Oh...so believers are in Christ Jesus by their own doing, since by their "freewill" they chose to believe?

    I have no love for the world. What about you?

    The Reformed believe by God's efficacious grace and atonement! What is your lame excuse?
