Kerwin……bottom line is that our own so-called wills there are supposed to be free don’t exist. Because no, not one will is altogether free. Again as I have said over and over here I am not talking about God allowing us to exercise our “Captivated” will, but the actual wills themselves. Common sense tell us that if a will was truly free, it…[Read more]

GOD was establishing a spritual principal,…[Read more]

T8…..The way it is written it does imply it is “impossible” to go to Jesus without the Father causing it to happen. Your words are not in alignment with those scriptures but you are making a case for your false assumptions of a person by his “own” so-called “freewill” efforts can do it on his own and as a result can take credit for his own…[Read more]

It also supports much of what we believe in and shows that the original teachings of the church was an adoptionist view point was we believe also.
