    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    I can't see how you continue to view God in this way. By saying God CHOSE YOU, is the same thing as saying God MADE YOU CHOOSE SALVATION/TO BE SAVED. Ridiculous! That isn't genuine love, genuine love is willingly choosing to give love to someone else. So you're saying that God chooses some and...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    Let me ask you this question The prodigal son. When he went his own way, that is, lost in his own sin and selfhness. What made him decide to go back to his father? Guilt. When someone feels the guilt of their sin and realize they are a sinner before almighty God and do not deserve to live...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    AKA God chooses what happens to you, against your will, like a dictator. But you don't say it that way, do you? Let me ask you something else, when we sin, is that God willing us to sin? Or do we sin on our own? And likewise, if we do a good act, is that God making us do the act? Or us...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    Tell me, when we go to heaven, apart from no longer having the ability to sin, will God force us to worship Him or will we freely give Him worship because it will be our desire to since we first chose to love and follow God?

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    Do you HEAR YOURSELF? You're basically saying God controls all your actions!!!!!!!!!!!! How is that RIGHT in ANY SENSE OF THE WORD. That's like saying my husband allows me to speak and otherwise I would never speak on my own free will???? That is not love. That is a dictator.

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    How can you not see that that paints God in that way?? A God that literlaly FORCES HIS WILL UPON YOU THUS MAKING YOU A MINDLESS VOODOO DOLL HE CONTROLS FULLY, is not a God deserving of Worship. We have to make the conscious choice to worship/trust/follow God. That is why He gave every man a...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    Wrong, I corrected a former belief that I realized was wrong and against scripture. And let me ask you this Yeshua? Did God make you post that unnecessary comment or did you and your non-existent free-will (according to you) have you to make this comment?

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    And I'll answer you with a question. Why would you believe God forces Himself or His Holy Spirit to nudge/force someone enough to choose Him without making God seem like an abusive/controlling dictator? Opinions/views change. I do not believe upon what I said before as I was misled into...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    See you using all these terms/titles for things other than saying I trust in the BIBLE or WORD OF GOD lets me know how deceived and blind you really are. I want scriptural back up of your false claims that God chooses, and man doesn't. You have failed to provide me with any which leads me to...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    You are failing to provide ANY OTHER SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR FALSE BELIEF other than that one verse that was EXPLICITLY taken out of context. So you are saying you do NOT believe that John 15:16 was referring to Jesus' disciples and His disciples alone, in regards to them being chosen to be...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    Okay? And? YOu still say it applies to men who were not saved prior and now have to be chosen by God to be saved? No, the disciples, as the author says, were saved prior, Jesus was appointing them as the disciples to start the Christian church. THAT was what he was choosing them for. Read my...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    Yet another way to dress up the false doctrine that God forces people to love Him, thus making God out to be a dictator. I'm not saying this to be mean, but I am trying to get you to see how your false belief paints our saviour. You turn men into robots who have to be 'turned on' in order to...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    Many misquote the first part of this verse as referring to initial salvation: you did not choose Me but I chose you and appointed you.. But these words were spoken to men who had already believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and were being chosen and appointed to produce good and lasting fruit - to...

    it feels like this country wants to explode in a civil war

    Well if indeed we are living in the end times, and from my readings Revelation and the Church of Laodicea, I believe we are. Then I think, the chances of Trump winning the next election are slim. Anarchy must prevail for a time in order for the coming of Christ to come to pass. But first the...

    Does God Choose Man or Man Choose God?

    I believe God knows (not chose) what a man will choose, but in the end, God has given man the free will choice to choose to follow/worship God or not. Other-wise, God is a God who forces man to love Him, and so, if He did choose us before time, selecting the few that will be saved, then really...

    No Salvation Without the Human Element

    God doesn't 'damn' anyone. Men condemn themselves for choosing not to believe in the Gospel. God doesn't willfully throw anyone into the fire unless they first make the conscious choice to be thrown in. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in...

    The Foreknowledge of God Put in Biblical Context

    What i'm saying is that God knows each one of us, saved or unsaved, but we who become saved make that choice to be saved, which, God knew before we chose to be saved or not. :)

    No Salvation Without the Human Element

    I'm giving an OPINION, not condemning those who believe on Calvinism's false teaching. I don't hate anything or anyone, but I disapprove of the false teachings of predestination. God has given man a will, as well as an offer of eternal salvation to those who believe upon His Son who died for...
