Greetings precious friend, was swapping some components twixt my rigs yesterday, installing Mint 22:1 on both the main ones today or tomorrow. Hope all's good with you and we can play more chess soon. I do get a lot of spite for being a good woman player, it got me down but i might now have...

Actually, both your comments have legs. Read versions in several translations, there's elements of both your comments in some. However, your comment fits in better with current human nature but Adam and Eve had just fallen, so might have gone for some equivocation/fudging due to being less...

Magenta is a deep, logical thinker, you are one of those who is deliberately provocative and irritating, calm, rational discussion clearly isn't your thing. In all fairness, you might be junior in years as well as behaviour.

Almost posted a disagree smilie to your comment. However, just logged in, first comment i saw as it's at the top of the page, so must read other comments for context first. Might be interesting for you to know that it's such a short, bald comment, i immediately thought you'd confused the words...

It's complex for sure and don't think anyone can claim to have an authoritative definition of it. Definitely enjoy exploring such things with others but view it as a fun learning experience for all participants, not a competition. Yes, i can agree God can make choices for us if he wants too...

Actually, we can easily implement choices which don't impact others, like reading a book, make a cup of coffee etc. However, think most people think of free will as being involved in more impactful events.

Personally think it's very rare we can implement a choice without the cooperation of others, to me, free will is being able to execute both together, unilaterally. The only being i think can do that is God himself, all other beings need the cooperation of others to at least some degree. Don't...

It was Calvinists who sparked my spiritual journey last Spring, i'll always be so grateful to them. Seriously don't care what label would be applied to me now, it isn't important to me and know i still have much to learn. Well, think there's probably no end to learning and growth in this...

Nice comment, appreciated, however, personally think we learn so much from civilised debate with others, have done so myself. i'm one of those people who genuinely loves learning and actively seeks opportunities to do so in life. Sadly, most people seem to want their biases to be confirmed, not...

Absolutely friend, we're conspiracy realists as well as theorists. Both good things to be which is why the powers that shouldn't be feel threatened enough by them, to make them derogatory terms.

In a different time zone to most of you, went offline after my last comment early yesterday eve my time, had things to do. Truly surprised at the arrogant, pompous attitude displayed by quite a few on this forum, who clearly have an issue with free speech for people who disagree with them. Very...

Sorry but you don't come across as the brightest bulb in the box and you actually demonstrate you have no idea what i think about these things. I can't take such confirmation bias seriously and i do make plenty of errors like most people. However, the one you're waffling on about never even...

Real cheers BillyBob, heard of them but don't think i've read them. Still in my first year as a believer, recommendations are truly welcome, Blessings and all that's good for now.

Right now it's this: The Pagemaster - Mega Drive Just found it on a backup drive, been looking for it for ages. Knew there was a good reason i had children, only thing is i don't have a good sega mega drive/genesis emulator for Linux, any ideas?

Hello friend, got held up on the free will thread again and a couple of things happened at home. Let me know if you can fit a game of chess again, hugs and all that's good for now.

And i need to give my little cat her treats, she definitely isn't happy! :rolleyes:

Sorry, delayed reply as i confused user names. it's being able to make and execute a choice, without constraints or external influence. The only being who can do that in my opinion, is God himself, we need the good will of others to realise our choices. We also have to recognise they have the...

Cheers for that, great reply, have an ear to ear wry grin on my mush at the moment :cool:
