GeneBalthrop replied to the topic in the forum Free Will? 11 years, 11 months ago
EDj………..I know what the word FREE WILL means, it means a will that is FREE OK. What I am saying is, no such thing exists , because all of our wills are driven by our thoughts, and our thoughts, come from past and present INFLUENCES.
Now I ask you or anyone else, to produce one simple scripture that says a man HAS A WILL THAT IS “FR…[Read more]

To all……..True repentance comes from God’s spirit working in the heart and mind of a person, it is a gift from God. Just as it says, “I will take out the heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh (soft heart), and they will be my people and I will be their GOD.”

Terricca……..Jesus is a regular man whom God perfected by his spirit and raised the man Jesus from the grave , just as he shall raise all his saints at the return of the son of man , Jesus the anointed man of God. If you do not see Jesus as a regular human being who came into existence by his berth on this earth through his mother Mary, then…[Read more]

Terricca………But if you wanted to jump off of it you could even if you could not fly, so what would drives the will of a person to do that, many have jumped to their deaths, is it not the thoughts of their mind that caused them to will to jump.

Terricca………..Jesus received the spirit of the living God into him at the Jordan river, he then was tested in the wilderness, and after that he was sent out into the world to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God. He had God the Father in him, just as he said he did, so, that means he had the word in him also, and as the Father related his…[Read more]

EDj……….So tell us what does those scriptures I ask you to read mean to you.? It is you not me “ditching” scriptures, I also ask you to produce one scripture that says that there exists a WILL that is FREE in man.

GeneBalthrop replied to the topic in the forum Free Will? 11 years, 11 months ago
Edj…….I know it doesn’t make sense to you, because you believing we all have will’s that are “free” to decide our own fate freely, so it naturally would not make sense to you. But your argument is with the apostle Paul not me.
Rom9:13-23 , read it all and come back a tell me if that makes any sense to you, let us know where man’s so-called…[Read more]

Nick……….I agree with that, but a “BODY” none the less. I do not know if it is a new body , because scripture says his body never saw corruption in the grave. Once our mortal bodies have put on incorruption I believe they can live forever just as they are. imo

Edj……..you answered your own question…….you said the thoughts that enter your mind you have no control over, but you fail to see our wills, are driven by those thoughts, rather good or evil, thoughts are what make up your actions you chose from. Now if you can’t control your thoughts, what makes you think you can control your will?. As I…[Read more]

Kerwin……..The way I see it is that Jesus was a son of God at berth, in the same sense as Adam was, who is also called a son of God. Because it was God who supplied there DNA directly himself. And just as Adam was a son of God in a physical sense so was Jesus, but just as Adam lacked the holy spirit in him to be a spiritual son of God so did…[Read more]

T8………So tell us how you chose your thoughts before you think them, then I can say your will is “FREE”. I can also say you have the power to save yourself, because you are in control of what you think. Who needs God the Father or Jesus’ sacrifice you are your own salvation by your own so-called “freewill” choices, this scripture does not…[Read more]

Wakeup……..Making Jesus out to be something different then a son of mankind is exactly what Satan wants you to believe. It completely alters your identity with him on a human level. Jesus’ berth was on the order of Adam’s his male DNA was supplied by God the Father, and in that sense he like Adam is called a son of God, just as the first Adam…[Read more]
