We are indwelled by the Holy Spirit. But he's the Father and the Father is him.

Ok let's see what Paul's context really is. 9 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— 2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people...

Yes.

What part of " not willing " don't you understand? If God is directing everything according to his will, there's no such thing as " not willing" for a human. So either God is arguing with himself or free will is a reality.

I assume you look in the mirror while you say that.

Why do you just keep repeating the same words? Yes we are raised to life from death when we choose to believe. We are also described as being dead to sin after salvation but we can still choose to sin.

Impossible... according to your theology.

Sigh. Faith isn't works. Read Galatians.

Faith isn't a work. Next! In fact, you think God causes most people to choose hell. So much for the mercy of God, eh? What is the cross for, if that's the case?

Granting repentance doesn't equal no Free will. If I grant you access to my drive way, you still have to decide to enter it not.

Nope. The " you" is a rebellious Jew, mad because God is using his rebellion to reach the gentiles. Probably think Romans 9 is all about you, don't you, don't you? You're so vain!

Facepalm! So Jesus was actually mad at himself for not making them willing!? Lol, oh what a tangled web we weave when we are decieved!

That refers to grace and salvation, not faith. Grace is what allowed us to choose God. Through faith, which we must provide. God doesn't believe in himself for us. That's absurd.

None of these scriptures cancel out the choice. You conveniently forgot when Paul describes how one becomes saved in Ephesians 1. 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the...

You just contradicted yourself. You have no evidence whatsoever that one choosing is for salvation and the other one is for something else. Choosing them out of the world is not causing them to be saved. They all had to choose, just like Judas.
