Happy Thanksgiving All. May God bless your families with warm fellowship. Peace to you

And this is, imo, the biggest problem with these debates. Folks claim someone is saying something that they are not saying, and not only not saying it but have denied saying it and obviously do not believe it, and yet the claim is made as a way to dismiss their opinion out of hand. Just once I...

If God choses people for salvation based on what they do… that is a works based salvation. If God choses specific people for salvation according to His purpose and His will (which is the biblical truth) and then so works in their lives to free them from their slavery to sin thereby allowing...

Again, thanks for sharing very thoughtful, scripture filled opinions on an important issue. Peace to you

The fashion meme reminds me of an 80’s commercial where Soviet women were modeling their current outfits. All the women were heavy and they all wore the same outfit.. sort of looked like a feed sack. The announcer would say “evening wear” and the model would walk the runway. Then “causal...

How many “free willers” does it take to change a light bulb? None because they don’t realize they are living in the dark. Peace to you

All done, I think. Peace to you

That is exactly the difference in our understanding of salvation. You think the difference in whether someone accepts or rejects the gospel is human “free will”. I believe the difference is God. Peace to you

I do know what it means. Are you able to articulate what you believe “free will” means or not? For something to be “free” there must be no interference. I am free to dunk a basketball anytime I have the chance. I am limited by my natural ability to jump high enough. Gravity and natural...

I wasn’t talking to you Peace to you

It is clearly taught. Your inability to comprehend, or more likely, willful rejection to what is clearly taught, doesn’t mean it’s not clearly taught. Peace to you

You are describing human will, which is influenced by many factors. When a person is confronted with several alternatives, they will chose the option they desire the most at that moment in time. Can we agree on that? Peace to you
