What do you think about my response to kerwin in the previous pages, what do you think about the poem i wrote. I inturn believe in free will by what scripture does say. for example do you believe in the bible. if you do or dont,…[Read more]

Explaining John12:31-36….'Now is the judging of this world” suggests that God was, at that time, about to judge mankind. But He did not. Judgment still waits. It is the world that was doing the judging. This is confirmed by the same form of the word in “the judging of Gehenna” (Mt.23:33), “the just judging of God” (2Th.1:5). See also Rev.14:7,…[Read more]

Hi WJ. I feel that this debate is going nowhere, trying to prove what scripture says, then what it doesn't say, and the meaning implied from either. I'll quote two scriptures that I believe shows that it is God, and Him only, that has complete control in accord with HIS WILL. If this is so, then we cannot have “free will”, His will WILL BE…[Read more]

WJ.Quote Quote (terraricca @ May 26 2010,00:48) Can you find scripture that expressly states that “God has given mankind free will”? This is a flawed question and only meant to decieve.Why is it a flawed question to ask for scripture to prove a point? Is not scripture the authority?Quote The question back to you is can you show us a scripture…[Read more]

terraricca.Quote yes that choice is the true choice and it as to be done freely and by our own will,not by predetermination,but by our freewill ,to show our attachment to the love of God,it is understood that this is a arrangement of God,but the choice is ours. 1Tim4:9-11… 9 Faithful is the saying and worthy of all welcome10 (for for this…[Read more]

Just a brief comment on Heb.1:8. The correct translation of that verse is… 8 Yet to the Son: “Thy throne, O God, is for the eon of the eon, And a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of Thy kingdom”. The eon is the longest segment of time in the Greek scriptures, there are seven of them, four are past, we are in the present eon (the…[Read more]

Hi all. I believe that we do not have “free will”. Here is just some of the scriptures that I believe that Gods will will be done, not ours. Ro. 11:32… For God locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should be merciful to all. I believe God is in complete control, look what He says about Israel in Ro.11:8… God gives them a…[Read more]

Hi kerwin. In Isaiah 46:10-11 God says… Saying, All my counsel shall be confirmed, And all My desire will I do. Indeed, I speak! Indeed I will bring it about! I formed. Indeed I will do it.Is there any doubt that God will do what He wants?He also states in 1Tim.2:4… God wills that all mankind be…[Read more]

terrariccca. In the scripture you quote, the terms, lost,destroyed, perish, and unsaved, are never “eternal”. Did not Jesus say “the Temple will be destroyed, but I will rebuild it in 3 days? So to “destroy” does not mean “eternally”. Also after the death, there is a ressurrection, then also a “second death”. The thought that the…[Read more]

Hi Gollamudi. Thanks for the information you provided. I really commend you for searching out all this, because I can see how in your eyes, you really are searching for the “truth”. Being a Jew, I can see your belief in God comes from your history of His (God) working with the His “chosen people”. I am posting a portion of an explanation of…[Read more]

There seems to be an infinite amount of views about how salvation is obtained. Please, anyone that will respond, please state in your opinion:-1. What is absolutely required to be saved. Name all you think is required, that leaving any out will disqualify you.2. What is desirable, but not actually neccesary for salvation. Name as many as you…[Read more]

Hi Gollamudi. I have copied a lengthly article that you, and others may find interesting. It will also explain the purpose of God using “evil” in His creation. I hope you, and any others interested in knowing the reason God has done this, will explain His reason for doing so. The Knowledge Of Good BEFORE they sinned, Adam and Eve had no…[Read more]

Any more opinions on what one must do to be saved?Blessings.
