Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

[Kroogz]

there's no such thing as a Calvinist it's a myth

Tim Keller, John Piper, John MacArthur, and Albert Mohler.....To name a tiny few.

What kind of crazy person would put their faith and hope in a salvation lottery that they didn't even participate in conducted by a God that they think is evil?

I agree.

Just to add, they don't think He is evil.......They have the word salads and never ending intellectual complexities to TRY to explain that inevitable conclusion away.......Their god is evil.

If there is such a thing as a calvinist you don't need to worry cv5 has well and truly burried them all.

I cannot take you serious, as you flip flip back and forth with your beliefs. Goodbye.

who ever declares there a Calvinist has been Brain washed by a vampire

Paul discusses the difference between a mind focused on the Spirit and one focused on the body just before Rom. 8:8. Those who come to Christ by biblical faith in accordance with how His Testament teachings are shifting their focus from the flesh to the Spirit. Paul is not teaching that the lost do not have the ability to become a Christian. It’s not about the ability, but about the mindset. The attitude. The heart.

Is this his enabling grace ?

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

Eph 1:2
And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him head over all things to the church,

John 16:8
And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment:

Paul's teaching are about disciplining the will of the flesh, whom I admire and love.

His teachings are all about just that.. I don't swap anything I live by a code of Paul's discipline.

@Me_Clay wheres the apology for calling me a biblically retarded bastard

Something is definitely wrong with you. I’m not trying to be mean, just making an observation from your repeated behavior. I myself thought I was off, but you make me look sane and normal.

And how does one discipline the will of the flesh, Jordon?

 

[Kroogz]

Let His word speak. No dialog....Just MHO.

I guess sometimes the best answer is not to answer, or to just say “ok”

Define freewill and maybe I can find one

Will that is unencumbered by any influence.

 

[Cameron143]

Freewill.......Witnesses His Gospel.

Freewill.....Accepts His Gospel.

Try again.

The Lord Jesus Christ died for all sin. And each and every individual has equal privilege and equal opportunity to ACCEPT His FREE offer.

Live it, love it......TEACH it. He came to seek the lost.

Still no verses, huh?

How is someone who never heard the gospel have equal privilege and equal opportunity?

 

[Cameron143]

At every turn, you are antagonistic to His Gospel.

Nope. Just to falsehood. I love the gospel.

Will that is unencumbered by any influence.

"Influence" is only an encumbrance if one unaware of it.

Personal definitions are not valid unless shown to be valid.

Free will is actually defined as ...

free will is the capacity of agents to choose between different possible courses of action. It is the ability to make decisions and control one's actions independently of prior events or external coercion, a concept deeply tied to notions of moral responsibility, praise, and blame. The existence and nature of free will are subjects of long-standing debate, primarily centered on whether it can coexist with determinism, the idea that all events are causally inevitable

So someone influenced by their heart isn't influenced by it if they don't know they are influenced by it?
