I agree brother, you mean to say God is also having the influenced will?

Do you think we don't have the mind of Christ in us? No my brother, we have two minds(spirits) in us our own mind and the mind of Christ. Whichever we apply that becomes the logic whether human or God's.ThanksAdam

Quote (Jodi @ July 15 2008,06:18)Hi Jodi,Thanks for sharing your personal information. I misunderstood when you mentioned Indian ancestory in your earlier post. Even the name Jodi is similar to our Indian names. Nice memories of yours of Rogue River. Have nice time when you go there. I do enjoy your posts especially posts on conception of Jesus…[Read more]

Hi brother 942767,I was not meant that we are tempted by the devil but by our own old sinful nature that is already exists in us. Please see your own post above you said “He is our helper as our Father, and he will help us to overcome addictions such as you mention if we ask Him for help” if God is the one who can help us to overcome the…[Read more]

Hi brothers,Please stop these void arguments and concentrate on subject.ThanksAdam

Amen to that post.

Yes Shania,I do agree with all those verses you just quoted above. We abide in Jesus by the love of God and under the guidence of the Holy Spirit. Certainly we bear fruits but again we are caused by the Spirit of God to do all that, I don't see any free will here the will I have is the result caused by the Spirit of God. This is what our brother…[Read more]

Amen Sis Shania.

Amen to that post brother Gene.Here is the powerful verse which disproves this free will, please see the verse in James 113 “When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after…[Read more]

Hi brother Georg,I agree with some of your points, but what about these verses in Jn 14? 3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”Peace to youAdam

Thanks brother Gene.

Sorry brother, to cause pain to you. I know those scriptures, I can understand that New Jerusalem is the place where the Mansions are and Jesus is preparing them for us to live in them. But the new jerusalem will come down from God to the new earth.Revelation is a book of prophecy and most of the events will be taken place in future even the…[Read more]

So no straight answer?

Quote (942767 @ July 14 2008,15:51)And so, praying asking God for understanding, I gather when the full number of the gentiles has been saved then the full number of those from the nation of Israel will be saved.  There are many jews who are being saved now, but apparently, there will be an abundance of them who will believe as we approach the…[Read more]

Enjoy fun

Thanks Sis Irene for that post.

Amen to that post brother Gene.

Hi Sis Shania,So God is the one working according to His will and for His good pleasure in us. He is the one who draws us to His family. We can not choose God by our so called free will. What we have is only influenced will which is very very limited. No one can choose God by His free will, if so why many have not come to Him?  Because God is the…[Read more]

Hi brothers and Sis,Thanks for encouraging me with the love of our Father. I do know how He loves me and guides me. I was only asking others to realise this and not to attack others personally by their words. we are here only to debate on certain doctrines to prove whether they are of the scriptures or not. So please don't put obstacles to the…[Read more]

I agree brother Nick and 942767. But we are debating the doctrines that are invented by men in God by interpreting same scriptures. If the scriptures are so clear why there are confusions in understanding them?
