Jude 1:24.

In the latter days, when iniquity abounds and the love of many cools, God will have a people who will glorify his name and blame injustice. They must be a “people a…[Read more]

Hi Gadam,

Acts 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

If they are not of the world and they are being sent into the world, where are they from?

It’s absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to have a free will, unless you have absolute control over your entire life, you chose your genes, you chose every word that was ever spoken to you since you were born, you chose everything that you saw, etc…

Yep, I still agree with Gene, there is no such thing as having a “free will”.

Gene said, “Your WILL is what your mind “produces”, therefore it is held “captive” by what’s going on “in” your mind.”

Exactly!!

… and what’s going on in your mind is the result of your past experiences, your current state of knowledge/w…[Read more]

Danny,  what Berean wrote in the last Part of his post above is true for us as well as “the man” Jesus Christ also.

Isaiah 4: 8……”But now O LORD, you are our Father, we are the clay, you are the potter, and we are the work of thy hand. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be “of God”.…[Read more]

It is not an increase of light that is needed; it is the surrendering of the soul to God, that by the power of His grace He may make the light He has caused to shine into the heart a living principle of action. PCL 42.3
