I will say this and I believe ALL MEMBERS of this forum can say and admit to the same thing. Many sins we know about in advance and can stop from doing them. Like Gossip. We know the thoughts in our mind and have the power to be quiet or still say what doesn't need to be said. There's other sins that before committed we have thoughts about and could easily not do but we CHOOSE to do them anyway.

Then there's those sins that are reactive and catch us off guard and by surprise like while driving and someone in another vehicle makes an unwise decision and we just immediately react without thinking.

But for the most part we actually have a lot of control to stop or continue sin.

I guess you are guessing that all member of CC are Christians,
but the debate is whether all non-Christians can seek salvation and become elect/Christians.

I read some opinions attached to and towards this site from a site discussing this site one day when I was having issues logging in and several people were claiming one would be lucky to find true followers of Jesus on this site. It had many opinions about multiple profiles being only one or 2 people. It was a funny and interesting read.

So maybe you're onto something.

The Holy Ghost has a consistency of teaching throughout the scriptures within its various context.

Why is it important to study the Bible in context?

You are probably intimidated by someone much more learned in the scripture than you, so your defense is the claim, they rip scripture out of context, but its a bogus claim

rolleyes ... pride much?

as far as whether my assertion that you rip verses from the context within which the Author of Scripture has placed them being "bogus" ... I note that you have not provided any disagreement to what was submitted in Post 508, Post 510, Post 511.

you also have not clarified what you mean by the term "freewill" and/or "freewillers".

Those terms should be clarified so we all know what is meant by the term.

Well, I hope they thought I am one of the true followers!
 
We do not seek God without first being drawn by him
before I was saved I knew about God I went to church I could quote scripture but I knew in my heart I wasn't saved it wasn't until I felt this tugging inside me that I truly sought after him
I knew I wasn't saved because I had no life in me, we can ddo all the right things but without him first drawing us we cannot truly seek him out.

I am actually shocked that @brightfame52 said that to you, the pride and arrogance of it is clear as day I am so sorry you had to deal with that it was uncalled for and wrong

don't fret, Blain ... hold to your tenderheartedness ... it's so refreshing ... :)

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Sadly it seems that discussions like this can bring out the worst in people, I do not like seeing brothers and sisters in Christ being so unkind to each other it saddens my heart seeing this

Well I wonder if it is appropriate to discuss members on here on another site that seems to be gossip to me
I doubt I was spoken of in a good way if I was spoken of who knows
I mean just on here alone I have been called a false prophet false teacher a worker of iniquity ect.
