Yes, God's Word tells us man is without excuse!

Romans 1:19-21
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

But I think you may not have understood the question.

Let me ask the second parts of the question, I haven't asked you yet please


Question.

If God had made man in the exact image of God would he have free will.

If he's not made man in exact image of God would he have free will.

God did replicate Himself when He made man, and since God has free will man also has free will

It's obvious man has free will because that's how Adam made the decision to sin against God and the Lord did not destroy Adam before he could actually sin.

If God had not given Adam free will then God would have prevented sin from being committed by destroying Adam before he sinned so no sin would ever be committed in the first place.

That question is faulty because God says in His Word "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness" (Genesis 1:26)

It's always good to believe what God said in His Word as though what He said is actually the Truth

Jesus said the Holy Ghost would lead us in to ALL Truth (John 16:13),
and Jesus said God's Word IS Truth (John 17:17)

I still think your not understanding the question.

When God said let us make man in our image what image was they refering to.


When God said let us make man in likeness to that image what likeness was he referring to.

You're not understanding the answer given from God's Word!

God says in His Word "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness" (Genesis 1:26)

That's God (the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit) saying man kind is being created in GOD's Image.

So man was obviously made in GOD's Image when he was created.

Also, the question often asked about "which came first, the chicken or the egg" is easily answered which is the chicken came first because we know the Lord wouldn't be laying any eggs.

.Thankyou for your patience.

Thankyou for keeping civil.

Theese are both wills of the father

You still never answered what image that would be.

Never mind


I'll skip the question 2, 3, and 4 for now.

If you've been created by somebody else who's will do you have.

And who's will must you surrender to

God created each person as separate unique individuals that "like" God but they are not God Himself so they are separate unique individuals

Since the Lord is THE Creator, it is Him we are called to submit to.

I meet farmers everyday more or less 😊 that could be arranged for the future, of course that would depend on a few factors.

But going back to the educational video, did you pick up on a new borns will, not having any will unless it was given. 😊

No, wrong again. I follow God's Word:

Jesus said the Holy Ghost would lead us in to ALL Truth (John 16:13),
and Jesus said God's Word IS Truth (John 17:17)

Romans 8:14
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.






Those believing this don't know the Lord and think the Lord is weak and incapable.






Yes, they tell people things like "the Holy Spirit can't speak and Jesus has been silent for 2000 years"

That's where thoughts such as this originate from. I sure hope you can get deliverance.







No, the Lord delivered me from darkness and translated me into the Kingdom of God (Colossians 1:13) and He raised me up to sit with Him in Heavenly places far above ALL principality power and might and dominion (Ephesians 1:18-23), so the devil you call the hungry lion is under my feet.







The battle is the Lord's and the victory is mine!







In Genesis we learned that God created mankind in His Image, so since God has free will man also has free will.

You can believe you have no free will and the forces of darkness are controlling your life, but that's not applicable to me in any way shape of form.






The devil tricked and deceive Eve in to using the free will the Lord gave her to make a very, very bad decision which was to disobey the Lord and eat of that tree.

Adam was there with her and he was NOT deceived so Adam used the free will God gave him to disobey the Lord and he knew it was wrong before he did it, and yet he decided to disobey God anyway.







The Word of God is choked full of examples of man having free will such as this one:

Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we WILL serve the LORD.

You have much misunderstanding due to believing things like "the Holy Spirit can't speak and Jesus has been silent for 2000 years"





No, God's Word means what He says so you should get hooked up with the Lord by BELIEVING what He says in His Word!
Click to expand...
All of that is unbiblical nonsense, God said the only will we have is to serve Satan. No other options are available to mankind, we lost the other option to serve God when our father Adam sold His soul to Satan in the garden.

Since that time, everyone is born directly into slavery to Satan's and they have no way of escaping His power and control. Only a fool thinks he can beat Satan in a fight and escape His power.

I don't know who taught you the Bible, but I would ask for my money back from them as your theology is utterly backward and messed up. Nothing you say lines up with what the Bible says, everything you say is the exact opposite. I only know of one other Caracter, who opposes God like that and I don't need to name Him but He is the most powerful creature in the universe.
