He said I'm freezing let's get the flock out of here 🤩

Mocking spirit, eh?

Great answer?

"I know it's munch munch time again. " Book of Jordon 6:66

Why should we take you seriously?
When you refuse to take the Scripture you were given seriously?

It is only a game to you.

Waster of time.

Well.. At least I am learning more about human nature.

You mean no choice is made from the soul that is created in the image and likeness of God?

Or do you think "Adam" creates the soul?

Definitely not the second.
Every choice is made from the immaterial part of man whether one considers that spirit, soul, or both combined.

Is human nature in the soul or the body?

Do you believe that God breathes life into every child or that a child simply gasps for air once its backside is tapped? Why does the doctor need to spank the child to get the baby to start breathing if God breathes life into them?

Many have probably realised i don't think we can exercise free will, even think it's impossible for us to. Won't explain why i think it's an impossiblility for us yet, think it's useful for some to express why they think it exists first.

Define Free Will, please?

Maybe what you think it is?
Is another concept to those opposing you.

Let's get on the same page?

Please?
Define Free Will as you see it?

That is the soul.

To God, the soul is not immaterial.
After all, God saved our soul, not our body.

The body we have been given is only for navigating the immaterial soul within the created material world.

You have yet to prove that nature is present at birth.

See Isa 48:8.

And for your info, the nature of any living entity determines that entity's true4 identity in this world, e,g. human or animal. Living organisms don't grow a nature. :rolleyes:

Then why did the Father decree Judas' existence and Jesus choose him to be one of his disciples, fully knowing that Judas' end was decreed in eternity, which is why Jesus said of Judas that it would have been better for his betrayer to not have been born?

Judas was the means God chose to get Jesus to the Cross.

God's Sovereign choice.

if you don't know it's wrong your not accountable according to Jeremiah they did know it was wrong as the lord said they have done it since youth whilst I have nurtured them.

Do stop deflecting where talking about practicing sin being evil

Is practicing sin evil to the lord
And besides I don't think you can know it nots wrong, as everyone gets a prick to there conscience.

Yep your answer will be practicing evil is sin.

Because you would rather say sin is not evil, because you still sin and your not evil.

Well it may be you not permanently evil, but when you do a wicked sin it's evil

Ask our "well studied bible scholar" if he thinks evildoers sin and are, therefore, sinners.

So every time a child breathes air for the first that is God giving them the breath of life? If so, why does the doctor need to spank the child for it to start breathing?

Does the millennium precede the Parousia at which time Christ will create the new heavens and new earth?

There is to be two new heavens and new earths.

The last new heavens and new earth will be everlasting.
The first, will only be for 1000 years.
