    God created man with a will of his own.

    Here is where we differ. You say one of the two options is that God forces man to trust him. To a degree, that is true. When we were under the law of sin and death, the scriptures said we loved darkness (John 3:19) We held to our self-will and self-righteous teaching in a death grip. Surely...

    Limited Autonomus Will

    Van said: ↑ Romans 9:16 teaches men can will and work to be saved The men who will and/or run are those seeking salvation. Thus Romans 9:16 teaches that some people seek salvation proving "total spiritual inability" is unbiblical. What must man do to be saved? John 20:31 But these are...

    Limited Autonomus Will

    Christ spoke to the Jews in parables, not because of their ability to believe, but because they had no ability to believe, they would misinterpret the message of the kingdom and doing so would seek to destroy it. He told them to not cast their pearls before swine lest they turn and rend them...

    Limited Autonomus Will

    That men work and run to be saved does not show spiritual ability. The problem is with how they seek the Lord. They do it of their own accord and understanding and not according to the scriptures. Those who seek God through their own understanding, often misled by their pastors, have not...

    God created man with a will of his own.

    The ability to not believe is taken away in the receiving of a new heart and new spirit. It is the concept of being made captives of righteousness (Rom 6:18) Eph 3:11 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of HIM. It is HIS faith and it has been given to those truly...

    God created man with a will of his own.

    I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that I was believing that Abel offered a sacrifice without having faith. Part of his faith was that the sacrifice he offered was that which was commanded by the Lord. Cain offered a sacrifice in faith but it was in the defiled belief that it was...

    God created man with a will of his own.

    Ezekiel 36 deals with the prophesy of the new covenant kingdom. If there are those in national Israel that will be saved, it will be through the same new covenant by which we are saved by the knowledge of the only true God and/thru Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent (down from above). Christ...

    God created man with a will of his own.

    How did Abel know to bring a lamb of the flock? Could it be because the Lord had already shown Adam in Genesis 3:21? Absolutely. We are all instructed by the Holy Spirit by righteous men who are the true witnesses of God. That is why we have pastors. How can they believe in whom they have...

    God created man with a will of his own.

    Abel brought of the firstborn of the flock because he had been instructed by Adam who showed him the right way. Cain who thought his sacrifice was righteous. God had already shown the pattern of Christ in the lamb of sacrifice. Yet Cain, being of a wicked mind and vain imagination, rebelled...

    God created man with a will of his own.

    The ability to be ashamed is the result of the life of Christ in his people. Those who were not ashamed thought that the works they did were pleasing to God as Cain did of his sacrifice.

    God created man with a will of his own.

    Man had a free will until we fell in Adam. After Adam fell, we could not think a single spiritual thought or make a righteous decision. Genesis 6:5 says," And God say that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that EVERY (without exception) imagination of the thoughts of HIS heart...

    Discussions about Christmas traditions

    Sorry for the late reply. We know that many of the elements of Christmas are not according to scripture or have their origin in pagan observances. I am sure you are aware of them but just to name a few, the yule log, the wise men and shepherds both being at the manger at the same time, etc...

    Flowing with milk and "honey"

    The question is who is able to receive (he who hath an ear) the meaning of the parables. Those who have an ear, being born from above, are able to receive instruction (Proverbs 19:20) and good doctrine (Proverbs 4:2). These are the members of the body of Christ, the kingdom of God, Those...

    Flowing with milk and "honey"

    Mt 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again an rend you. Violence against the kingdom.
