Saying we do not have free will is like saying you don’t know what a straight line looks like because you do not know what a crooked line looks like. In order to know what a straight line looks like, you’d first have to know what a straight line does not look like, which is to be crooked.

something that comes from freedom of thought, the will of the flesh carries that's though into action, it's not rocket science is it ?

But your like so many that don't exactly know exactly what freewill means, you all try to define it with ideas that your choice is your will.

But in actually reality freewill it's not even a proper word it's a plural of will.

I do not think what you write is sinister ... sometimes you're playful ... sometimes you're serious.

If you think what I write is sinister ... please show me the post you believe is sinister so I can know what you mean by "sinister" ... thanks.

your to busy taking every comment personal to even notice the question was asked whether you think Sting is sinister or whether he was led to believe he was

Perhaps the initial defeat at Ai was an attempt on God's behalf to give the residents of Ai a longer altar call. Wonder why their evangelistic outreach didn't include musical accompaniment.

You have absolutely NO IDEA whatsoever of what the Ai defeat was all about little buddy.
Absolutely positively no idea whatsoever. None. Zero.

Despite your present distressing condition of ignorance, I must refuse to hand out any more of my precious pearls of edification, for reasons already outlined......:giggle::)(y)

Jordon said:
Well not everyone always expresses everything in an interview,

Later on in life he did he realised his song he intended to write about love was Inspired by God.

I once use to race with someone who knew him personally,.and have you thought of the fact he may not have said what you think he was implying, and more like it was sinister to others.

Because he wrote a song saying people say I have lost my faith in the holy church
You don't know him m

And really m the internet is full of sinister people

me to well perhaps you could recognise people can make you think what your writing is sinister then.

. The second question is based on whether you think people could have made sting think the song he was writing was sinister

I provided you (and the board) with a staggeringly important and impeccably scholarly study of Romans 8:28-30 earlier. Which you surely contemptuously ignored.

But I did not ignore it. In fact I am on my THIRD review of this lecture series.

Which of course is why I actually know what I am talking about....and do not.

You accused me of something falsely yesterday and today you have the annihilation of Jericho as a evangelistical outreach. You regularly insult and denigrate others. Why would I or anyone think that you understand the most basic of Christian tenets when you can't even love others or even display a modicum of decency. You can't even see your own spiritual estate. Why would anyone trust you with theirs?

John 3 verse 6, Romans 8 verse 7, Galatians 5 verse 17, 2 Timothy 3 verse 13, Romans 3 verse 18 ~ Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. The mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. The flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other. Evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

ok ... got it ... I do not know if people made Sting think the song he had written was sinister. That is not what he said in the interview.

Here's one of my Sting faves ...

I like this song to m. Also inspired by God, and do you believe what you heard sting say in his interview was true as if it was what he actually meant about himself


The question was do you believe every word people say m.

Well the answer to that is obviously no.

So should you believe the bad thing people can say about themselves ?

 
.next question @reneweddaybyday why is our God a jelouse God m

As in the lyrics of fields of gold sting mentions his Jelouse sky

For thou shalt worship no other god; for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God,

I still have had no answer m of him, we know the lord had his own behind the walls of Jericho,

I mean who wouldn't m it's strategic plan in battle.

But God still had his army destroy Jericho m or didn't he ?

The lord said if I find only 10 righteous people in sodom I will not destroy it. Did he say that on the bases of not knowing or was he saying it on the base he knew, funny how he got from filthy to ten

So I have a question m and theres two very good answers of which I can see

Do you think the lord would of destroyed sodom if there was Just one righteous person in sodom ?
