    When, where, or how was free will taken away?

    This has NOTHING to do with Calvinism. The explanation works with Wesleyean Arminianism as well. The issue is that I cannot explain to somene that refuses to have a conversation. You want a one sentence answer, then claim you do not understand the one sentence answer. So I give an in depth...

    It did not come as a surprise to God ... [Mat 2:13-18 NIV] 13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him." 14...

    Explain the difference and use your post below as an example so I can understand how YOU have "answered to scripture" and not "made comments about it" ...

    Just so I understand (since you are so light on explanation) ... The need for messengers in Romans 10:14-15 are negated in Romans 10:16-18. Every person in the world, without exception, has been informed of Jesus by the Holy Spirit starting in the First Century and continuing to this day. There...

    Peter said that the verses that I quoted were the fulfillment of that prophecy. Peter disagrees with you.

    When, where, or how was free will taken away?

    Sorry, I can't. You are just waiting to for a chance to argue and have no patience to listen and communicate. You ask me "When, where, or how was free will taken away?" but you really don't want my answer, you want to tell me that my answer is wrong. The best that I can offer someone that...

    I am a bit surprised. I had not expected you to champion the cause that God personally preached to every individual in the world in 33 AD forward without the use of any human speaker ... thus explaining how the people in the Western Hemisphere were DRAWN to the "lifted up" Jesus starting in the...

    When, where, or how was free will taken away?

    Q. When, where, or how was free will taken away? 3. Would it change your mind if I personally assured you that dying by fire would purify you and you would go to heaven? 4. If I set up a booth at the Mall with a video of testimonials of people who claimed to have set themselves on fire and...

    Have you ever encountered this? Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy...

    In the parable, he wasn't. We were told to ask Him to send more workers. However, I never said anything one way or another about this so it is a non-sequitur. I never made such a claim ... another non-sequitur. No. My turn to ask a question of YOU: What does this verse mean? How then will...

    When, where, or how was free will taken away?

    Nothing personal, but I am just focusing on one conversation with GodsGrace here. So feel free to comment and chat with anyone else, but I will not be "defending a position agaist all challenges" on this topic.

    Like Ananias and Paul? No, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ do not approach every person without exception like they did Ananias and Paul. (If they did, there would be no need for Missionaries ... everyone would have already heard.)

    Wow, you are quite an expert on MY beliefs. Why do you bother asking me anything if you ignore what I say and then refute it by telling me what I believe. I don't think that I need to be here for this discussion except to give you someone to berate. Why don't you just go ahead and post your...

    When, where, or how was free will taken away?

    I keep trying to answer, but you keep refusing to listen. From this point forward, I will focus on nothing but THIS conversation between us and will permit no bunny trails. You may disagree with my answer, but you WILL stop asking what it is because you will know. Q. When, where, or how was...

    Amazing job of ignoring the context to misapply verses. I have nothing to say that you will hear, so enjoy your scriptural fantasy.

    Oh yeah, anti-Calvinism. (Classic Arminians and Wesleyan Arminians at least have something to say.)

    Revelation 3 is written to the churches. If Judas was not called to salvation then he was never part of the church and Rev 3 applies to him no more than the promise in John 10:28. Judas was the “son of damnation”, does this sound like the Apostles chose to accept God or like God chose to claim...

    Umm ... I was accused of avoiding the question of “When, where and how did man Lise free will?”. This topic was created just to answer that one question to the very best of my ability. I am sorry if you don’t like the subject, but there are other topics that you could have responded to instead...
