Wakeup…..NONE DID ANSWER, SO MUCH FOR FREEWILLS RIGHT THEY dont work because NONE ANSWERED GOD’S CALL.

Carmillia…….You hit the nail on the head sis, it about knowing GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS and the greatest things that now abides are, FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE , and indeed LOVE is the GREATEST. JESUS told us this in Luke,

Kerwn…..I HAVE SAID THAT FROM THE BEGINNING that i was not talking about our liberty to express or excercise our “CAPTIVATED” WILLS. I AM SPEAKING OF WHAT MAKES UP THE WILL ITSELF, OF A PERSON , and that it is far from being FREE, it never was and it will never be either.
I can’t understand why you AND OTHERS would not have known that…[Read more]

T8…..O REALLY, ….Paul sure did not think that, read Rom 7:14-24 solwely this time and think clearly about what he is saying, he sure did not think his will was FREE at all, but bound by lusts and desires working in him bringing him into a state of captivity, he was harhly free nor was his will it self free either.

Kerwin……Again you are addressing a will, that not the point here, we indeed are held responsible for our choices, i never said we weren’t. But those choices have nothing to do with a will that is Free, But a will that is held captive by whats working AND “CAUSING” THOSE CHOICES. The reason you do not acknowledge what PAUL CLEARLY…[Read more]

Kerwin……lets listen to what the apostle PAUL SAID, please try to understand exactly what he is saying, as quoting these over and over is tiring.
Rom 7 :14-25..> for we know that the law is spritual; but i am carnal,sold under sin.
Do you understand that Kerwin, sold under sin means he is held captive to sin.
Verse 15….> for that which I…[Read more]

Kerwin……i have never said God sinned,but he did show what sin was , SIN IS TO MISS THE MARK, THAT GOD HAS SET, SCRIPTURE ALSO SAY SIN IS THE TRANGRESSION OF THE LAW. And no man has not sinned except JESUS. SO all have missed the mark of the high calling, so-much for freewill right, none could chose what is right, at least thats what God the…[Read more]

T8……Is that right, then why did God say “HE” WOULD TAKE OUT OF US THE HEARTS OF STONE AND “GIVE” a soft heart ans write his statues and law on our inward part. After all don’t you believe it all up to us to chose by our own so-called freewills. Seems you have a dilemma to deal with.

Kerwin, yes and JESUS SAID “NO” MAN “CAN” COME UNTO HIM UNLESS GOD “DRAW/DRAG HIM.
DOES THIS NOT PROVE MY POINT, not even to mention the many many other scriptures that gack this up, scriptures like “IT IS NOT WITHIN A MAN TO DRECT HIS STEPS, and again, IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT “WILLS”, BUT OF GOD THAT SHOWS MERCY. And again FOR YOU ARE “CREATED”…[Read more]

Kerwin……You understand them differently ,because of your mind set, if you were open to the truth about this subject, you could easely see that those scriptures speak clearly against any, so-called free will, now notice i did not say againt a will, i said against a will, that itself is free, and therefore SOVERIGN in all things it choses.

Kerwin……being accountable for sin, would mean no sin could ever be forgiven, but God has concluded ALL UNDER sin, that he may have mercy unto ALL. Were all being held accountble for sin, is because we all have sinned, and come short ofthe glory of GOD.
