    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Mr. GWH, sir: Tell me if you notice anything odd in this passage, and if so, what? Deut 29:1-9 29:1 The Covenant Renewed in Moab These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he had made with...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Of course children are born with wicked hearts. Do children come into this world born in Adam or in the Last Adam? Do infants inherit the sinless nature of the Last Adam or the sin nature of Adam? In Rom 5:12ff. which teaches the typology between Adam and Christ, did Paul make any exception...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    FWT is fraught with many problems. One of the biggies is that FWers refuse to see God's salvation as a miracle -- as God's supernatural work within a man's heart, soul and mind. Salvation to their mind is merely a natural act of man's efficacious "freewill". They cannot acknowledge God's work...

    The implied meaning of spiritual ability is false! Stay tuned to solid biblical proof of this fact.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Not at all. Gazillions of people have knowledge of God's existence while simultaneously perishing because they KNOW NOT God in a personal, intimate, filial, covenant way. Only the living can know God in the manner I just described. Anymore gems of "wisdom" for us?

    So I see that you do agree with me after all that Mat 7:7 says nothing about man's ability, which is why you were FORCED to bring a slew of other passages to bear upon the passage. :rolleyes: But it even gets worse for you because none of the passages you cite teach anything about man's...

    On the other hand, one of your favored translations reads for v.5: John 1:5 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. NKJV Are you still trying to figure out what or who the "darkness" is?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Really!? Does God "awaken them" before or after they exercised their "freewill" to repent and believe the gospel? And Mat 7:7 does not teach anything about man's "ability to seek after God". What it does teach is man's moral/spiritual responsibility or duty t seek after Him. This is a...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    I have a question for all you FWers re this passage: John 1:4-5 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. NIV My question is this: What exactly is this "darkness" that didn't comprehend the light?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Oh...that happened way after he "believed", if indeed at all. He didn't need to love God in order to believe the gospel. His "faith" didn't have to work through love. Everything happens to believers AFTER THEY exercise their "freewill" to repent and believe. Then they get a new heart, even...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    And not only that...but because Studier has steadfastly refused to give us a simple "yes" or "no" answer to Jeremiah's rhetorical question in 13:23a, then I think it's very safe to conclude that he also believes leopards can change their spots and Ethiopians can change his skin. And this means...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    My, my...the lies just so glibly roll off your lips. Cameron never said faith itself is a whim but rather in the context of his post, he said the choices are men are often made on a whim! And he would never say that anyway, because he understands fully that Faith is God's gift to his chosen...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Well...for your info "entrance [in]to finality" is inaugurated in this age -- not on Judgment Day. Judgment Day is the culmination of all that has gone before. And you don't know...you have no answer for who is the final arbiter of man's eternal destiny in this age?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Another satanic half truth! Faith itself is a divine gift to God's elect! While the Gospel is indeed the message of life and truth, this is not the whole story! You totally leave the Holy Spirit out of the equation -- who Himself is the Spirit of Truth and will effectually lead all the...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    False Equivalency! Was Cameron talking about God's judgment or God's gospel of salvation? Yes, the final arbiter on Judgement Day will be Christ, but is Christ the final arbiter of man's eternal destiny prior to the Day of the Lord? Or is the sinner in charge of his eternal destiny in this age?

    Did Cameron say that? Why couldn't God's gift of faith to his elect produce the necessary faith in him?

    Not only that but God is a passive spectator and potential savior since the only thing he brings to the table of salvation are opportunities for men to save themselves.
