The Ability To Choose - Free Will

[Eternally-Grateful]

Hang around, we've got time. But right now I'm on my way to get Married...

wow Congratulations brother!!!!

 

[Hazelelponi]

I try to be honest and amicable. Forums need more of this...

So do I. But I don't know every belief and what key words follow them, so I try to make sure I'm clear and understanding correctly at the same time.

These aren't the kind of conversations I often have. Okay, to be more clear, I never have these conversations.

I'm new.... hope you have a lovely wedding - and honeymoon. Congratulations

But according to Romans 7 we are free from the old man. Sorta.

We must be putting the Old Man to death.

Yes, but this will be going on for our entire lives.

 

[Carbon]

yes, But again, Based on what

what separates us from the lost?

Based on God's good pleasure and will.

 

[Carbon]

what separates us from the lost?

Regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

Well let me give you something from Fuller to help your side. He taught what is called Duty Faith. It means everyone has a Duty to believe the Gospel and be Saved. He based this partly on the First Commandment; thou Shalt have Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior. All have the Law written on their heart...

Imagine a Calvinist teaching this...

It sounds like he was a little short on the L.

Congraulations brother!

 

[Carbon]

I used to be called a 3 point. I am not even sure I am that to be honest.

A three point? A three point what, Calvinist?

 

[Carbon]

A horse and a mule can choose, that's why they must be bridled - to train them to follow a will that is not their own.

Indeed.

 

[Carbon]

Nothing determines what God does...

Let me ask you this; which comes first, Faith or Grace?

Grace, of course.

 

[ReverendRV]

It sounds like he was a little short on the L.

Some say he falls short, but the Reformed Baptist Tom Nettles said Fuller is a 5-Pointer...

Maybe it's a difference between Presbyterians and Baptists...

 

[Eternally-Grateful]

Based on God's good pleasure and will.

God told us what seperates us.

Can you quote what God said. what seperates the lost from the found? (BESIDES THE CROSS)

 

[Eternally-Grateful]

Regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

and what caused this

 

[Eternally-Grateful]

A three point? A three point what, Calvinist?

yes, that is what we were discussing, the 5 points of tulip

Maybe you're right, bro. But, to me, a Calvinist is a 5-pointer. But that's what I believe anyway.

God told us what seperates us.

Can you quote what God said. what seperates the lost from the found? (BESIDES THE CROSS)

The Atonement. Do you say differently?

 

[Carbon]

and what caused this

God's good pleasure and choice.

Okay, thanks.

try John 3: 18 who is no longer condemned (born again) vs who is condemned already (lost or dead in sin)

 

[Carbon]

try John 3: 18 who is no longer condemned (born again) vs who is condemned already (lost or dead in sin)

That is a true statement in John 3:18, but you are only saying "he who believes"
So, we humans are what separates us?
I'm sorry, I disagree. I'm not a humanist.
