Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

[Cameron143]

right ... I pointed that out to Cameron143 here yesterday ... Jesus telling John's disciples about the healing of the blind (as well as other healing taking place) was information John's disciples would take back to John to confirm that Jesus was, in fact, "He that should come". The fact that Jesus mentioned the healing of the blind first is somewhat significant ... don't want to start another argument about that ... just something I noted ...
.

John 9:3 literally says that the man was born blind so that the works of God may be made manifest in him. How then do you say that the miracle wasn't the work that was manifest in him and the purpose of it wasn't so that the work of God be made manifest in him? And if it is so, then this is indeed another reason that Jesus performed miracles.

You still don't understand. God getting the glory is exactly what he meant.

No he didn't or he wouldn't have said I should have explained better. Just another person who doesn't acknowledge truth. Grace and peace.

The Jews will surely be reinstated to fulfil their original mandate:
A priestly order by and through which King Jesus will preach His message of salvation to the gentile world.

For the entire duration of the millennium.

Kicking Israel to the curb permanently is in age old Calvinist trope.
But it is defiant of God's will and uniblical therefore they coddle it.

Satan hates Israel for some reason.....

 

[Genez]

Why do you never hear with understanding?

Its is we who need greater grace in moments like these...

 

[reneweddaybyday]

Again, I said God sheds His love abroad in people's hearts.

you did? ... when ... where?

What is wrong with you?

nothing.

No sense even responding to you anymore.

guess I won't see where you said "God sheds His love abroad in people's hearts" ...

Here will be what come of Israel during the Millennium...

This is what the Lord Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all ​

languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his ​

robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’” ​

​

Zechariah 8:23​

The Jews when in God's will, are God's super race. That is one reason why Satan hates Israel.

A camel herder with an IQ of 149, was a genius camel herder just the same.
Placing him in the modern world would simply offer him other details to apply his genius to.

Precisely!

It's good to know that you think that biblical truth that doesn't appeal to you is merely "dirt". I wonder how much of the bible is DIRT to you!? You're lame reply to Cam implies that he was lying to you. Was he, though? Did you know that God was even ready to kill Moses because of his disobedience?

There's a psychological reason for why someone would introduce problematic issues that weren't relative to the specifics of the discussion. But I don't expect for you to comprehend that either.

 

[lrs68]

It's pointless discussing anything with you. Once you're proven wrong, you just redefine terms rather than admit you were wrong.

But I am right according to the Bible. It's also evident that I am only wrong according to your doctrine. I think it's quite obvious that the Bible is always correct.

I would call them super excellent servants. Humble purposeful dutiful to a fault.

Luke 4 v 18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, 19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

Once God...His grace...

Sounds like God should get the glory and not man.

1 Corinthians 1 v 30-31 ~ It is because of God that you are in Christ Jesus, Who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

 

[Magenta]

The wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD. In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God. Psalm 10 v 3-4 Mocker is the name of the proud and arrogant man - of him who acts with excessive pride. Proverbs 21 v 24 The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted - it will be humbled. Isaiah 2 v 11-12 No flesh may boast before God. 1 Cor 1 v 29

 

[Magenta]

1 Corinthians 3 v 19-21a, 1 Corinthians 1 v 19 ~ The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” Therefore, stop boasting in men. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

Eph 1:9 with the "us" being those identified in Eph 1:1 -2.

9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

That's the one bro, that's the treasure we hold and bind to our hearts, our hope and assurance that God's sovereign will is known in him for his devine plan to rescue people from the past present and future.

Peace be with you always bro.

 

[sawdust]

No he didn't or he wouldn't have said I should have explained better. Just another person who doesn't acknowledge truth. Grace and peace.

You are incorrigible.

He plainly sated it was God's grace at work, a fact you acknowledged when it was pointed out, yet you still insist on your error of saying he was exalting a man.

Simply unbelievable!

Grace and peace to you cam.

That's probably a wise decision bro.
I would stick to that decision too if I was you.
The other thing as well cam why you should is when you get into a position of people pulling all that know to be true to bits day on an day out , they can eventually break a persons mind.

I wouldn't want that to happen to you so stick to that decision.

Take care bro.

1 Peter 1 v 3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
