Finding a good teacher would not last very long.
He has found the teachers he likes.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. ​
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great ​
number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2 Tim 4:3​

So Grace causes one to believe. It's God's effectual power like when Grace made Paul into a believing apostle Eph 3:7

7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power

Saul was made a servant of Christ, by grace and power and it is the same for every believer, though all aren't made apostles, but the principal is same with might grace

Grace causes one to hear and frees the soul to accept or reject.

So, we come into this world as AMORAL beings NOT made in the image of God, and then at some point in time and space, we're transformed into moral creatures and magically become God's image-bearers? Not even Adam came into this world in a neutral state, since God considered him "very good" before his sin. And goodness is a moral attribute that flows from Agape Love! :rolleyes:You Shirely have chapter and verse for your theory, right?

But your theory is a great example of how you FWers love to diminish sin and exalt man.

Do you know what amoral means?

If you think you knew good and evil from birth, you are not human.

But why do they desire the contrary way?

Why do they prefer it?

Million dollar question that one. It just is the way it is, one's greatest desire rules. Maybe one day the Lord will explain it to us but honestly? I'm not sure I want to go down that rabbit hole. :)

So, the pagan Babylonians, and the surrounding pagan nations, were morally/spiritually superior to the Jewish exiles because their hearts were in appreciably better condition? The pagan world didn't drink up evil like water!?

I wish one of the mods or admin would close this thread. It’s been discussed far too long with no progress.
