Tim……I believe also that there is no “Free Will” this subject is so important to understand, because it gives a mind set. Mandy mentioned about us being robots and in some way's it's true, why do i say that?, because perfection already exist and God brings us to perfection through His Spirit. Doesent it say ,”be ye HOLY because I am HOLY and…[Read more]

Mandy……But notice the deciples Jesus choose didn't leave Him they all stayed, why because God was causeing then to remain because He choose them to be Apostles and none of them went back did they.
