Gene, I don't have time to go into depth on this tonight, but, no, God does not have control over our minds.And how do you know that Paul was talking about Adam and Eve in Romans 1. God gave those who would not listen to his instruction or correction to a reprobate mind, and let them do whatever they wanted to do. They had a choice. Did Adam…[Read more]

Hi Gene:You say:Quote Marty……….You brought up a good point, On the day of Pentecost When the Holy spirit was Poured out , and the Apostle Peter spoke to them , It was the Spirit that opened there Minds and Hearts, to the Truth, and it caused them to be Pricked in there hearts.

God will not force anyone to come to Him. It is a…[Read more]

The body that we have is the Holy Temple of God, and we should take very good care of it. The Apostle Paul is speaking specifically here relative to the sin of fornication, but I believe that it applies also, to being careful as to what we eat, drink, or making sure that we exercise to keep our bodies and mind healthy so we can serve the Lord…[Read more]

Hi Gene:On what basis did God choose you over someone else? He said that He was not willing that any man should perish, but that all would come to repentance. God is not a respecter of persons. He has done what He is going to do for the sake of reconciling the world unto Himself.While it is true that someone may not come to God the instance…[Read more]
