(1) Definitions 1 and 2 tell you directly that free will does not exist,
(2)it is absolutely impossible for someone to commit an act or make a choice that is independent of influences.

Hi Jodi,

1) Not so

2) Oh yea, I can make a phone call: calling someone without them influencing me to do so.
How do you account for that?

our wills c are being held captive by what is most influencing them.

Hi Gene,

Why do people in muslim countries become Christian,
when their will is being held captive by islam
as islam is “influencing them the most”?

Edj….flesh begets flesh, spirit begets spirit.

Hi Gene,

Here is my next question:

Who was Jesus flesh birth Father?

1 The HolySpirit
2 Joseph
3 David
4 someone else ???

Ed: Are you saying
Jesus was not The Son of God”at his conception? “Yes” or “no” ?

Edj…..”no” JESUS WAS NOT THE SON Of GOD AT HIS BIRTH

Hi Gene,

Thank you!
Was it really that hard to respond?

You know I asked YOU this question 4 times before you FINALLY answered it.
Well I’m at least Glad you have “Free Will” enough to answer my questions.

Hi,

Welcome to H-net!

Gene: did an angel say “shall be called”
Ed: “Yes”

Ed: Are you saying Jesus was not The Son of God”at his conception? “Yes” or “no” ?

Gene please answer

Quit your dodging! I answered your question, now you answer mine

Hi Ed J,

If two people are going to agree or disagree on whether or not free will exists, one must define “free will”.

Hi Jodi, that is an OXYMORON

Having the ability to decide on whether or not free will exists is proof that “Free Will” exists

Hi Ed J,

Could you give us a definition of free will?For me
to believe that free will exists for a mortal human, I would have to be convinced that
there are absolutely no factors outside of a persons control that affect a person’s choices.

Hi Jodi,

1. the ability to act and make choices independent of any outside influence (Link)
2. the a…[Read more]

Gene: did an angel say “shall be called”
Ed: “Yes”

Ed: Are you saying Jesus was not The Son of God”at his conception? “Yes” or “no” ?

Gene?

But I do agree it is all a waste of time, ,

How could you even know what’s a waste of your time, if you don’t have a “Free Will” ???

Gene: did an angel say “shall be called”
Ed: “Yes”

Ed: Are you saying Jesus was not The Son of God”at his conception? “Yes” or “no” ?

Gene,

I answered your question, now will you kindly answer mine?

Maybe I should ask you a yes/no question like did an angel say “shall be called”

Hi Gene, don’t think I have to answer your questions, but you can ignore mine. OK, let’s play…

Gene: did an angel say “shall be called”
Ed: “Yes”

Ed: Are you saying Jesus was not The Son of God”at his conception? “Yes” or “no” ?

Edj……The present tense is, “this day is born unto you”, the rest was to fulfill the prophesy give Israel.

Hi Gene,

The present tense is also, “who is Christ the Lord”

Gene.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Hi T8,

I understand how they understand that verse. They’re saying that verse is Prophetic;
and then tie it to Romans 4:17 to explain away the clearly worded “Present Tense”.

Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

”The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee:therefore also that holy thing which shall
be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)

”fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit” (Matt 1:20)

Does the bible say Jesus i…

T8…..We are offering you true perception of scriptures

Hi Gene,

How can you be if you don’t have “Free Will” ?

Hi Edj

You said to TC:

The first link has God’s name as YHVH,
and the second link has it as YHWH ???

How do you account for this discrepancy.

YHWH is the Hebrew translation and YHVH is the Latin translation.

God bless

Hi Anthony,

There’s a problem with what you say, because
it is the “Hebrew site” that has God’s Name “YHVH”.
How do you a…[Read more]

Hi Truthcomber,

Are you going to ignore this post to you?

Hi Jodi

Jodi, I don’t share your belief that Joseph was Jesus’ biological father.
And I see you spring-boarding off that assumption, so no I don’t agree!

Ed J, I never assumed you believed that Joseph was Jesus’s biological father, I knew full well that you didn’t.

Hi Ed J, In Matthew we are given the lineage of Joseph through Joseph’s father.
