Sorry, but I don't have the time to weave through the rabbit holes to even try to remember what we're talking about. All I can remember is the continual misunderstanding of what I'm conveying, and that makes for a super crappy conversation.
Hello, Thunder. So upon hearing the Gospel, you never made the decision to follow Jesus of your own free will?
a decision yes but not will.more like a decision
Will is defined by self control in the bible.
Self control in the unsaved is either controlled by the old covenant or something else.
For the saved self control is controlled by Christ.
Dear Free Will. I just wanted to let you know how much I am thankful for you. If not for you, God would be in control of me. And that would, well, just be awful, in fact, it would be hateful of Him if He took you away from me. I don’t know what I’d do without you. I mean, I wouldn’t be allowed to freely feed my porn addiction, drug and alcohol addictions, and oh, so many more.
What I like about you, Entity Free Will, is that you allow me to make my life all about me, me, me . . . gosh, and that’s so wonderful. I mean, the more you can place the attention and focus upon me and not God, that’d be great. I don’t want Him to get any more credit than He should! I mean, come on! We chose this bumpy, up-and-down path of ours! Our successes are because of us, and our failures are because of us, too! Isn’t it something!?
Most important, Free Will . . . you give me the right to be in complete, and total, control. I get to decide if God does anything in my life, and I decide if the Devil acts in my life just the same.
Me. It’s all about me!
Your distortion of God's Word is appalling. Free will and biblical election are concepts you do not comprehend at all.
I'm not understanding this there is more than one bible.
I don't know how to take your opening post so I will just ask you a question.
Do you believe you have free will
It isn't necessarily a matter of what I believe, it is a matter of what our Bibles report. And what our Bibles report is that human beings have a limited sense of free will.
