    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    I hear everything you're saying. I really do. In fact, what you've well-written above, I held those beliefs too. I get it; I totally get it and don't blame you. However, once I discovered the Doctrine of Spiritual Circumcision, the ENTIRE Bible changed within an instant . . . and didn't realize...

    This is absolutely remarkable wisdom. Thank you! This is actually going into my personal dictionary that I routinely build.

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    This is the Power of God! That because of His Plan, He chooses who shall receive His Grace and Mercy and who shall not. But one thing you and I know is this . . . we do not know His Plan, nor does He require that we do. Exodus 33:19 NKJV - "Then He said, "I will make all My goodness pass before...

    Outstanding points. The Lord has allowed you to see Him through His word.

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    That's exactly what the Scripture says . . . and the only thing it can possibly mean is that the Lord is in control and that we are not.

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Pharaoh had it extra rough. Not only was he blinded by the Curse of Adam and Eve, but the Lord caused him to not own personal choice over specific decisions. And why? Romans 9:17 NKJV - "For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power...

    According to the Scripture below, it sounds like the Lord's Plan is greater than our own. Judge for yourself: John 6:37 NKJV - "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out."

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Well good grief. I'm incredibly sorry that I failed your expectations. Had I known that you wanted a specific number of examples . . . I would have served you better. I'm just pointing our what I've read . . . kick the ball, not the player. Daniel 2:21 NLT - "He controls the course of world...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    How could it be? "Voluntary humility" is the difficult way of saying false humility. Or, we could just say that through our character, we're liars. No, Free will, which seems to be "independent choice" is not the same thing as false character.

    Attention Everyone

    Outstanding!

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    " I have no idea of what you've written above actually means. It hasn't anything to do with anything I've written. You may think it does . . . but it doesn't. "Same can be said of you my friend, you are judging others quite harshly" Again, I have no idea of what you're talking about. If...

    The true grace of God.

    There is no doubt that we read completely different Bibles. Mine are abundantly clear. But hey, believe whatever you want. I require nothing of you.

    Now it's not me, but sin that lives in me

    Did you ever hit the bullseye! As you may remember, I, too, used to believe that I really understood the Bible. That is until He awakened me to His Almighty Power. If I had felt more of God's Holy Power, a Power built on Love and Peace, my physical body would have sustained some form of damage...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Do you accept the translations of the Jews themselves? Do you think that they are the masters of their own writings? If so, they transcribe Job 36:31 this way . . . Tanakh: "By these things He controls peoples; He gives food in abundance." I just relay what I see in the Bible (all of them).

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Are you familiar with the Old Testament? Not many are. Consider the below story and then tell me if the Lord doesn't cause others what they do and don't do. Genesis 20:2-6 NKJV - "Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She [is] my sister." And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3 But...

    If I haven't, then I do! I do! But what are we to do, then, with such opposing ideas? How do you resolve that?

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    We are Enabled to choose. We are Enabled to Obey. We are Enabled to suffer. We are Enabled to Pray. We are Enabled. We are Enabled. We are Enabled. If we are Enabled to do certain deeds, prepared in advance in fact, how is the COURSE of our lives not under the Lord's total control? Take care...

    Well of course! You can pick and choose all the Scripture that you want, but for some reason, you're not acknowledging the passages that the Lord is giving you. Why? Who knows. Good luck.
