    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Same age as my eldest lads then. My youngest son and daughter look really young for their age, they're the most open minded to spiritual things too, a work in progress for sure. Hope we'll soon be sharing conversations like we have today, much appreciated. Must really turn off the router now...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Your photo suggests you're younger than my children, really wish they had some of your spiritual maturity. They aren't the people i brought up, think the world had a nervous breakdown March '20 it won't recover from. Being old i'm much less affected than young people, the world now seems a very...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Blessings and hugs sweetest friend, my brain is so tired and frustrated, even mega strong coffee isn't working. Also, my little Princess wants her treats and me to play with her, probably do me some real good too. Glad to say it's been an interesting and rather lovely commenting session, really...

    Actually, think i'll go offline soon and play with my little cat, precious friend. Think a chess session is a bit too much for my currently overheated, pretty frustrated brain. Overthinking does my head in =)

    Taking a bit of a break before i start tearing my hair out precious friend, compiling chkrootkit after all the hard and software installations, feels like a mission too far currently. Posting some comments here to try and lighten up a bit, will let you know if i'm up to playing chess in around...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Bless you friend, have copied and saved your comment to answer later or tomorrow. Had a tough couple of days installing parts and software on my two main rigs, my head's all over the place currently and i'm tired.

    Becomes Trump a dictator?

    It almost makes me feel wistful at times that Americans seem to have real faith in politicians. i take the Shakespeare amendment in this system, all the world's a stage and we are merely players. Trump is quite likeable but i do think the curtains now going down on the Russia/Ukraine conflict...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You're so right sweetest friend, we know that dwelling on negative/harmful thoughts can lead to real difficulties. Walking/jogging miles in the pretty areas i've lived in most of my life, have been great for kicking my negative thoughts out. The scriptures in your lovely panel mean a lot to me...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Cheers Kainos, the more i think about God providing us with such love, beauty and wonder, KNOWING the pain and grief it would cause him too, the more awed and appreciative i am of Him. Currently i can only think, the payoff must be so awesome it far outweighs the suffering, am a newish believer...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You are what i think is wise, rocks that you're a woman/lioness too. Old in years but a very young believer, there are still many things which make my jaw drop, I do wonder if the tree they eat from was just beautiful rather than had special qualities. God provided such beauty, wonder and...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Think your example proves free will doesn't exist, Satan sinned for sure but the opposite of what he wanted to happen ensued. He made a choice which he didn't have the agency/power to make happen, it was wishful thinking on his part. However, God does have free will, he knew all this would...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Really like chatting with you but i disagree, free will involves a combination of things, including choice and agency. Finished sorting out what i needed to so must go for now. The fresh installs on my main rigs aren't straightforward this time, God's blessings and all that's good for.

    Missed your reply friend, hope all's good. Thought i was on the home run with the fresh installs...

    Missed your reply friend, hope all's good. Thought i was on the home run with the fresh installs but should have remembered to never count your chickens. Grrr! Sadly, Mint 22:1 causes a mailutils issue in terminal so chkrootkit can't be installed. It's probably a paper tiger but i like it...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    You make the same mistake most people do by confusing choice and free will. You're obviously a limited thinker, or want to erroneously conflate imaginary for us free will with God's right to hold us accountable. Personally haven't met anybody here who thinks they can work out their own...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Burst out laughing, you just love stirring pots, logic can hang. Thing is, you won't learn much in life with your attitude, that's if you are actually young enough to be given some leeway.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Interesting comment, personally experienced one of those lives which is great for learning and development, however, it would suck for those who have need of certainties/security etc. As with you, i know the experience i was/am having has meaning/value. Being a true lifelong learner, i wouldn't...

    How Did Your Spiritual Journey Begin?

    Reading this comment now and feel sick because of what that "PASTOR" said to your Dad. Wouldn't call him truly Christian let alone a supposed shepherd, your poor Father. Probably poor you and your siblings too. Realised there's another comment of yours, will read that too. Ditto your taste in...
