Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

[cv5]

Repentance is commanded. And individual doesn't obey until he has received a new heart and the Spirit. Until one's nature is changed, they will continue as they were.

Lol. Please continue to animate yourself so that all may bear witness to your preposterous Calvinist absurdities....

 

[Cameron143]

Of course not little @Cameron143 buddy. I have no authority nor perception pertaining to who is or is not saved ...

And yet little buddy, you stated...if you get there...

Glad you see the error of your ways. Like Clint said: A man's got to know his limitations.

Oh well @Cameron as you can see they can't confess any truth m.

Remember I asked you weeks ago, it's beyond me why you can't accept it

Is that still the case.

Do you think they can accept the truth m

Calvinism: the theology where God writes Himself into a contradiction.

In consistent, pure, classic and true Calvinism, they have God decreeing all things, choices, events, actions, responses, etc etc. That would even include sin, yet simultaneously, He’d also be decreeing people to tell others NOT to sin, which would be having God decreeing people to go against what He decreed..and vice versa (having people to sin, which God decreed)!! Blasphemous!!!

I'm an optimist who believes all things are possible with God.

If I draw my chickens to me with cracked corn I'm not enabling them to come to me, I'm offering them something they want. And they come of their own choice

John 12:32
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.”

Acts 17:31
because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.”

Acts 16
30 and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32And they spoke the word of God to him together with all who were in his house.

Godly sorrow leads to repentance which leads to salvation

Still waiting for you to confess that your saved in his living hope m

 

[Kroogz]

God's grace power to enable souls, leaves many believers with impression that they do have free will.

IMO it is semantics.

God's Grace gift is offered to all. By His Grace it is offered equally to each and every individual who has ever lived.

Call it "freewill" or " a freed will"......He graciously offers it to ALL.......Freely.

It is a free offer and all have the privilege and opportunity to receive it.......Freewill seems to be a pretty good definition for it.

If you believe in your heart, God has already changed it...Ezekiel 36:26-27.

That was not even written for the Church.
It was to the future Jews who will be living during the Millennium.

This is not gobblygook. So don't cop out.

Here it is in its context!

Ezekiel 36:22-27​

​

​

“Therefore say to the Israelites, (not for the church)'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ​

It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake ​

of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. ​

I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, ​

the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, ​

declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.​

​

“‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you ​

back into your own land. (When Christ returns to set up His 1000 year reign in the new Israel).​

​

I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities ​

and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from ​

you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you ​

to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."​

The new spirit He will place in them will be their human spirit that is given at regeneration!
The believers today received a human spirit also when we believed!

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6​

That phenomena takes place in every dispensation of believers! OT saints did not receive the indwelling Holy Spirit like we do, which can cause us to become transformed into the character of Christ. OT saints could understand Scripture because they were given a human spirit. We having the Indwelling Holy Spirit can cause us to not only understand. But, also. To become more like Christ by transformation that comes from the Spirit.

Your citing of Ezekiel 36:26-27, that you used to try to make your point?
It was speaking specifically of the future of Israel, does not apply to us.

The new heart is the result of having been given a human spirit that makes us able to replace our old way of thinking with Scripture being understood to take its place.


You really could learn everything needed to understand to know how to live.
But you are having too much fun using the Word to win your position,
rather than being able to live the Word in the filling of the power of the Holy Spirit.

So be it.....

 

[Kroogz]

Lol. Please continue to animate yourself so that all may bear witness to your preposterous Calvinist absurdities....

One point:

Did the Lord Jesus Christ die for all? @Cameron143 said NO.

All the turmoil, divisiveness, "goobledygook" stems and derives from this single point.

One cannot come to an accurate biblical conclusion of salvation or judgement if this ONE point(the starting line) is wrong. We can have the most eloquent and intellectual explanations known to mankind.....But they will ALWAYS impugn His character and nature if the premise is "the Lord Jesus Christ did not die for ALL."
