Kerwin…….My point is if God forknows about a person before he is even born, and predicts his future and the very things he will do, how does that figure in a freewill? To me that means it predetermined, no freewills governing our outcomes, again i am not saying we do not have liberty to excercise our influenced and captivated wills. The…[Read more]

Wakeup…….true words brother, being baptised does not guarentee a person has recieved the HOLY SPIRIT. Many spit out scripture after scripture and have not a clue what they are really saying. Like journey said just ranting on, without true understanding. Accusing others of being untrue when in fact they haven’t a clue what what the truth of…[Read more]

T8……wrong, our future is determind by God the Father, not by our so-called freewill choices. What part of this scripture you fail to understand, ” NO MAN “CAN” COME UNTO ME EXCEPT THE FATHER “DRAW” (Greek DRAG) HIM.”
T8…. YOU rant on, but never answer questions presented, how did God know Jesus would do what he did, or John the baptist, or…[Read more]

Journey42……AMEN to that post, Pierre has done nothing but accuse the brethern sense the very frist time he came here, posting enless scriptures that in most cases has nothing to do with whats being descussed, i don’t understand why he has such of an accusal spirit, he must think he is something special, an God has made him somekind of judge…[Read more]

Kerwin…..If God manipulates things, why would he do that, if he wanted us to freely chose on our own,and more how could he even predict human out comes, like king Cryus, Jeramiah the prophet, John the baptist, Jesus ,how could God foreknow what they would do, if they were to chose on only a freewill basis. God could not forknow a person and what…[Read more]
GeneBalthrop replied to the topic in the forum Free Will? 11 years, 9 months ago
Kerwin……Simple question, how could God predict any thing ABOUT ANY HUMAN BEING if it is up to that persons WILL THAT IS “FREE”. Can’t you see that there could be no predictible future for anyone ever. Everything would be just a crap shoot, without any determinate results for the future, because at any instant a person could chose to go a…[Read more]

Wakeup……….baptism of the flesh washes or cleans the flesh, baptism of the spirit washes or cleans the spirit. There is a physical baptism and there is a spritual baptism also.
Tit 3:5….” Not by works of rightiousnes which we have done,but according to his mercy he has saved us, by the “WASHING” OF “REGENERATION” and renewing of the HOLY…[Read more]

Kerwin…..you are saying the same thing I am, our desires are made upby what is influencing us. All of those influences are the Cause and the will is the effect. Nothing free about it, I believe you do understand this, it is what I have been saying all along. Remember I have said over and over here , I was not talking about our liberty to…[Read more]

T8…….Three pieces of pie , one cherry, one apple, one black berry.
To all, which will T8 chose?, and if he makes a choice, why did he make it, was it because he had a “freewill” or because something in him “Caused” him to make “that” paticular choice? Now if something “caused” him to “will” to make that choice, then how is it he believes his…[Read more]
GeneBalthrop replied to the topic in the forum Free Will? 11 years, 9 months ago
Kerwin……Please explain what you believe makes up a Will, simple question, what is a will based on? Is Gods WILL a counciled Will or a FREE WILL? Again remember I am not talking about freedom to excercise those will but the wills themselves. Please try to be specific.

Kerwin……yes but an additive person is far from being free now is he. He is held in captivity by his addiction.

GeneBalthrop replied to the topic Crackpottery in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years, 9 months ago
T8……And your view is that by mans so-called FREEWILL, man can chose his way into righteousness, so according to you, who need us to be “Created”,”unto good works” and who needs God “to work “IN” us BOTH to “WILL” and do of “HIS good pleasure. We can achieve it all by our own so-called FREEWILLS. Now that is a real “LOL”, if you ask me.

Carmilla…. Nick is right on this, God the Father was truly in him, by the anointing Spirit that abided in him. Think your problem is your not seeing JESUS as a ordinary human being, a man who became the messiahs by the anointing of the Holy Spirit of God, the exact same thing can happen to any man God elects to, and that person can perform the…[Read more]
