Understand that I am not accusing you of anything. I am trying to understand why you hold this view contrary to what scripture teaches and demonstrates. I had a guess and used words like perhaps and maybe. Where did I ever say otherwise. I mean really how would I know if this was the case or not? But now you have me wondering all the more.…[Read more]

Gene, did God allow man to FREELY choose to eat from any tree in the garden except one?

Yes or no.

If you say yes, then you agree that God give us the ability to choose freely among options tha the makes available to us.

If you answer no, then you oppose that verse in Genesis.

Which is wrong? That verse in Genesis or you?

Thanks for your post Kerwin. Whatever he says about the will of man,  scripture says that man was FREE to eat from any tree in the garden. He clearly opposes this in order to preserve one of his pet doctrines.

You are basically saying, “excuse me God, we are not free to eat from any tree, our wills are captive., and we cannot choose freely”.

That is right, you are…[Read more]

Gene, you deny that we can choose freely among the allowable choices. So that means that Adam and Eve could not freely eat from any tree in the garden.

Case closed Gene because you clearly deny scripture that teaches and demonstrates that men can choose freely and choose God or choose the flesh and the world.

Gene, you deny that we can choose freely among the allowable choices. So that means that Adam and Eve could not freely eat from any tree in the garden.

Case closed Gene because you clearly deny scripture.

Are we required to be either Jesus or a prophet of God in order to use the scriptures for “teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”? (2 Tim 3:16)

Believe me, it is the IDEAS that I rebuke scripturally – not their character. But in the process of rebuking one of their ideas that they really, really WANT to be the scrip…
