No, that was not a question. That was an observation. The question I'm referring to ended with a question mark. The question is: - "How much thought have you put into what you just said as a Christian?" I appreciate your kindness in attempting to address my question, but you are in danger of...

Since we're not answering each other's questions, as if we are incapable, or lack respect, I'll just post what God's Word says. Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants...

So you openly support sin. This is unacceptable. How much thought have you put into what you just said as a Christian?

OK, so I'm very curious. From an ontological point (you know, just regarding the nature of being,) do you think that men have power to 'think', as in, power that is not controlled by God?

Thanks for your response, Devin. Do you believe that those two ideas contradict each other?

That's an interesting question, one that I [basically] thought myself. I'm interested in Taken's response. But then, Taken said they could care less, implying that they do care. If you can care less, then you're on the spectrum of caring. If you don't care at all, then you can't care less.

That sounds like it shows quite a lack of reverence for God.

They better.

You are arguing that responsibility presupposes freedom, but we are held responsible precisely because we are not free. Responsibility presupposes captivity.

Scripture speaks of doubt like it is opposite of faith. Beware of sugar-coated articles trying to make people feel better about their unbelief. Consider these Scriptures, then live on continuously looking unto Christ. Rest in Christ. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for...

Then you think that the Gospel is nonsensical. What are you doing here in a Christian forum?

Thanks for joining, Whetstone. If you prayed it, then it was God's will that you would pray it all along. If you are going to think of praying for something as going against God's will, then it might benefit you to be logically consistent and also think that to pray for forgiveness of sins is...

I'm not certain why you reduced Christ's title to a mere "King" after I attacked freewill. Where did "all power" go from your writing? Also, it is not my position that people's wills have been removed. It is that people's wills continuously depend on God to exist, so God provides the state of...

Sorry, Behold. I cannot tell if that amounts to a logical 'yes' or 'no' to my question. I'll propose a logical conclusion against one of your own premises that uses another one of your premises, that you are welcome to deal with. Christ has all power, therefore men have none. This means that...

My view requires that only God has free will. He says that He does what He pleases, no one can stop His hand, and there are none like Him. If you mean that my view requires that man has free will, then please demonstrate how that is so. Otherwise it is just an assertion. (Does God have...

No, it is not everything I got from your post, but it is everything I needed from you to find your answer to my question. I'm using logic to help your post 'answer' my question. What you write about your worldview is appreciated, because I might learn from it, and I can, in principle, go back...

So you believe He does not control everything, since if he does not micro-manage men, He does not control every aspect of their lives. God is omnipotent. This means all powerful. Do you believe that man has any power of his own to even exist? Or is our existence contingent on God's power?

Thank you for making your view more clear to me, but does this answer my question for you?

That means God does not control everything, right?

Thank you for joining, Behold. By whose power is man's will driven?
