    Free Will is the Veil

    Brother I am in refinement as we all are. I bear no ill will. I do believe my prior message may be a sufficient answer. I do not glorify myself. I am certain of the Spirit of Jesus Christ and seek to uplift His name. Am I a braggart to boast of Jesus Christ? Am I wrong to express His love and...

    How to Train Your Reticular Activating System

    Thank you brother, but the Spirit is my memory and He determines for me what is pertinent. It is my honor to serve Him and be of service to any as He commands.

    Free Will is the Veil

    To the pull of your conversation toward a direct response. An understandable and not entirely objectionable response to Socratic methodology. But before I read your post, this may address it well enough. I'll find out after I write this message, which begins with a riddle; I am feared by the...

    It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir. I appreciate your depth.

    How to Train Your Reticular Activating System

    And one last example for those interested when I say incredible stories; I have only ever broken one bone, and the fracture I incurred causes death by asphyxiation in 98% of cases. I severed the C2 bone of my spinal column, the axis atop which sits the atlas atop which swivels the skull, into...

    How to Train Your Reticular Activating System

    And by those who don't know me are put off by me, I meant in meaningful conversation. I am exceedingly polite to service staff and careful in my commercial conduct for Who I represent.

    How to Train Your Reticular Activating System

    His ways are mysterious indeed! I was born and raised in a Christian home with my parents alive, well, and together still today. I had significant exposure to the church throughout my life. But I was plagued by an inexplicable agony that made no sense to me; why aren't His promises true? I led...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Repentance is a supercar, like a 1000 HP Bugatti Veyron, but in the styling of a Fiat 500. It doesn't look glorious, but if you hop in and floor it, you're in for a wild ride that few could appreciate from the outside. Let them scoff, let them mock! If I know what's under the hood and I'm having...

    Free Will is the Veil

    I asked Him and He responded. Oh, He responded gloriously! It is the manner of His response I could never have anticipated. The way He works is marvelous! I enjoy to practice my efforts to relate the magnitude of His glory as He has revealed it to me. I believe it is why He instilled in me the...

    Calculations, Equations, Formulas, Mathematics, Numbers And The Effect Of The Fall On Them

    Your venture sounds intriguing! Patterns are a wonderful teacher and a pleasure to investigate. I have never heard the term prelapsarian, so thank you! I always love looking up a new word. Being both an automotive fan and a hobbyist theologian, I have a particular appreciation for...

    Free Will is the Veil

    I see how my claim makes God sound awful, being responsible for everything. Honestly, I see also how it would inspire a seething and bitter hatred born of personal disapproval for the Master's plan. No one but He truly knows all suffering, as it all takes place within and by and through Him and...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Every person to ever live just "woke up" one day. Adam, I'm sure, recalled every moment of His life, being a perfect and flawless man, of course. But for the rest of us, we just come around after a time and coalesce into a person with memories and experience. We don't choose anything about our...

    Free Will is the Veil

    @Eternally Grateful I apologize. I was abrasive. I acquiesce to your pull. No. They did not have free will. No one does. There is only One will, and by His magnificent design, He has full control over it. His will be done, because it is, on earth as it is in heaven. My accusation is based on...

    Behold! The Master Comes Quickly!

    He is eternal without beginning or end, ever present and all powerful. This is the truth, plain and simple; there is nothing nothing NOTHING impossible for Jesus Christ. This is the fury of man, his impotence. His utter lack of ability to defy the will of the Master. If you do not trust...

    As Christ is Life, the serpent is doubt.

    Free Will is the Veil

    Seek more broadly. With a bit of referencing, I could list judgements of death upon many through the Pentateuch alone, while Samuel, Chronicles, and Kings list even more and more. It is a pattern to which you are blinded by your embrace of falsehood. Every lie you choose to hold as truth...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Pure truth unto this statement, brother. Did the Israelites choose freely or were they massacred by the thousands and tens of thousands for disobedience?

    Free Will is the Veil

    Doubt was agonizing to me, the abhorrent stench of pustulent decay in my mind, the presence of death. The greatest mystery to me today is why anyone is content to tolerate this when the offer of complete and eternal freedom from this curse is available to us. But I do understand distraction...

    Free Will is the Veil

    There is nothing to see of what you present. You seek to uplift some mystery as unobtainable truth, but it is freely available to all. The only veil is the one still over your face, that of the lies which restrict access to pure Truth. You seek Him, but you do not have Him because you would seek...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Why would I imagine the worst? No! I only imagine the best, because He is the Best. Your mind runs astray and you would have mine too but you cannot. I yearn for the consequences of my actions, I am thrilled for what is in store for me, I am elated for what my future holds, I am ecstatic for His...
