Jesus, Himself, had free will and revealed it in Luke 22:42 " Saying, Father, if Thou be WILLING, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My WILL, but Thine be done." He had to choose to submit His will to the Father's, just as we. In Luke 9:23 Jesus said " And He said to them all, If any man WILL come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, DAILY, and follow Me." It's all a matter of submitting our FREE will to Him, daily.
That is why Jesus is our Saviour... because He could do in the flesh what we could not.

Never said he did. And you’re right, he didn’t, but what you believe about those verses is pure Calvinism.
You keep claiming what I believe is from Calvin as if it were not straight from the Bible. You are being dishonest.

You freely choose to be that way.
 
God does not sin.
correct m when tempted no one should say the lord is tempting you 😭

But people think the active will of death is unjust.

It not untill you actually die that a seeds bares much fruit m

But I never asked that I asked if God had created Adam and eve with free will how could he judge them m 😭
 
Romas 8:13
For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.

A dead seed never bears fruit.
 
Your doctrine makes new atheists every day.
Oh? Are you an atheist now? Gosh. I would be more inclined to say that
is just another lie you tell yourself, and want others to believe, as well.


But your wishful thinking will not remove from them the fact that they are held responsible by God, even if you deny it.

No. I’m not an atheist. But your doctrine and understanding of scripture via Calvin makes atheists.
 
Yes, I understand you do not believe the Bible means what it says. That is too bad and I am saddened to hear it.
Correction: I do not believe your Calvinistic understanding of the Bible. And no, that’s not too bad that I don’t believe your view. I’m thankful I’m not a puppet.

Stop procrastinating and show us the post then we might be able to make an account. Until then your words are simply empty talk.

Might as well ask him to explain how irresistible grace works...

"God does it."

Daniel 4 verse 35~ All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’ Isaiah 14 verse 24~ The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.” Psalm 139 verse 16~ Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Proverbs 16 verse 9~ In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 19 verse 21~ Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
