My post was a question, not a statement. I did not say Saul was dragged by Jesus. I will say Saul had no intention of going into the city to regain his sight. Here again, God did not acknowledge Saul's so called freewill and compelled Saul to do something his will by giving him no way out...

I think God had His reason for the three day period of Jonah's entombment in the belly of the fish. Who is to question Him and demand an answer? Did God grant Jonah free will? If so, why wouldn't He honor the exercise of it by Jonah? God does not "allow" those who are disobedient to Him to...

When Saul was on the road to Damascus and Jesus struck him blind, was Jesus drawing Saul or dragging him to do His will? When Jonah exercised his rebellion (freewill?) and ended up in the belly of the fish, was God drawing Jonah or dragging him? These are testimonies to God's willingness to...

WHAT???:Frown Say that again!:confused: No - just teasing. God from the very beginning told His created beings and their begotten what He expected of them/us in worship, actions and relationships. Then, along came Lucifer! The battles in my life are ongoing, but the war is won due to the...

Agreed. Every decision is driven by "something else" and by definition is not free.

Personally, I do not endorse free will or free agency and I have no intention of showing anyone the Greek difference. Maybe you and Spurgeon can discuss this issue if you see him. :Sneaky

Free-Will - A Slave Charles Spurgeon's view of free-will: ”It has already been proved beyond all controversy that free-will is nonsense. Freedom cannot belong to will any more than ponderability can belong to electricity. They are altogether different things. Free agency we may believe in, but...

Jdg 4:7 KJV - And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand. Jdg 4:13 KJV - And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, [even] nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people...

Rom 6:16 KJV - Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Sin = death Obedience = righteousness There is no third choice of freewill to choose righteousness. The default is...

Agreed. Jhn 8:44 KJV - Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Eph 2:2...

Keep guessing! I can't relate to what you are saying. I expect anyone posting on this board to be able to support their position with scripture. I hope you can do that.

I am disappointed that you offer no scripture references to validate your statement.

I find your statement intriguing. Please provide scriptural references to support it.

I agree. 2Ti 3:1 KJV - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2Ti 3:2 KJV - For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2Ti 3:3 KJV - Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false...

Add all non-profits to your list. I believe many so called non-profits are a tax-dodging scam. Yes, I include religious organizations. .

You have insight that few people have.:eek:

Regardless of which of God's laws are observed or not, God cares for His children and they are subject to His discipline if they do not repent of their sin. Heb 12:8 KJV - But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

The Jews were still observing the Mosaic Law at this time. Jesus was addressing a group, not individuals. God did not relate to mankind then as He does now, in the age of grace. The viel had not been rent nor the the Holy Spirit descended. Not telling you anything you don't already know.

I see nothing in your reply proving I misrepresented the Catholic position. Forty Reasons I Am a Catholic "Whenever anybody gets really serious about exorcism, they go to a Catholic priest. Did you ever see a movie with a Protestant exorcist?" Or for that matter, read an article of a...

So?
