Calvinism Question : How does God work through the Soul?

[Iconoclast]

I agree and understand your point.

That being said, I will stick my nose into the discussion in an attempt to put a little different light on it. Here goes:

To repeat what I have posted numerous times prior, Lucifer was the first created being to invoke his (free?)will. Therefore, as Martin Luther and Charles Spurgeon concluded, freewill is a lie of Satan.

Once saved, we have the ability to serve God by accomplishing tasks that are acceptable to Him and that He can bless. When we were separated from Him by our trespasses and sins, that was not possible.

Sinning is our natural bent. Herein lies the struggle for the Christian.
[Rom 7:15 KJV] 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
[Heb 12:1 KJV] 1 ..." let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"



Hopefully, you will have a different take of Iconoclast's theology.

Yes indeed;
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart,

I will ascend into heaven,

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;

I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Satan, the opposer thought he could act independent of the will of God .
His temptation to Adam and Eve was to act apart from Gods will...all such desires are sinful rebellion.
