Review of Martin Luther and Free Will

If God knows Saul/Paul would not say no, the he could not have said no.

If left to myself, I would have rejected Him. Thankfully, He effectually called me.

 

Hmmm...high view of man, low view of God here in full display...

 

Does the person clinically dead who was brought back play any role in the chest compressions given and the meds administered to stimulate his/her heart? No. We’d played no role in God’s divine quickening, either.

 

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Would someone show me a righteous man in that statement?... How can you reject something you never deserved in the first place?... Sovereign Grace is ALL of God!... Brother Glen

 

I hesitate to engage directly with you [Personal attack edited].

However, I will [Personal attacked edited] attempt to gain a better understanding of freewill.

External forces are employed to put/keep a person in bondage, restrained or imprisoned. These acts are rarely, if ever, self-inflected.

Therefore, since the actions or in-actions of individuals results in the above listed consequences, I conclude freewill is a myth perpetrated by satan to allow mankind to justify what he believes or does.

Based on the following verse, external forces will call all believers to account resulting in a glorious display of God's love and grace. Praised God!!!

Rom 14:12 KJV - So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

 

Wrong. Try again.

 

[God]made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses.[Ephesians 2:5]

When we were dead spiritually, God unilaterally moved and quickened us to life. In this divine quickening, our wills were freed from the bondage of sin, we were imparted faith and repentance, exercised them and were saved. All of this is God’s doing.

 

Did Nicodemus choose eternal life?... Did Nicodemus birth himself?... What I find very interesting is that the name Nicodemus in Hebrew means Victory Of The People... So what is the peoples victory?

John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The God that controls the wind is the God that controls eternal life... Brother Glen

 

When were we, not just me, but all of Adam’s posterity spiritually dead? From birth.

When one is quickened to life, they’re saved.

You show you have no idea how to properly teach the Bible to anyone.

 

Lullz. You are trying to correct someone about Greek who taught it at seminary for 35+ years? You sure you want to keep this up?

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
