That's not what I said, Aspen. God made the decision to let Adam chose the names.

While I don’t have questions about whether free will exists (I know we don’t have it), I feel that I wasn’t invited to the “Free Will” thread, so I am starting my own. If you have questions about whether God planned everything before he even made this planet, including Adam and Woman’s roll...

Well, prove it isn't a fact. Find a verse that says we have free will.... I showed you many that don't and have many more like 1 Cor 6:19-20 and 7:23. How am I who is giving you plenty of scripture, denying scripture? You haven't given any that actually support what you say.

The problem is you haven't produced a single verse that says they were chosen (thus have no free will) and everyone else wasn't chosen (and thus has to rely on their free will). So there is Pharaoh, Jonah and the 12 Apostles. They didn't have free will. What of the Romans whom Paul wrote to...

Pretty good stuff Prentis. I'd ask you to kick this around in your head... The child isn't "Christ", but rather "Christ in you" or "the man child" (Col 1:27, Rev 12). What you say isn't against what I am saying, but let us not forget the order which Paul spoke of in 1 Cor 11:3 and Eph 5...

I tend to agree with Redeemed and Aspen on this one. Bigandy and Mr. Rosenberger, I hear you too!

I think both! Who says God can't talk to trees, and they don't talk back? Moses talked to a rock and it responded.... Come on... You know me better than that.... Gimmie a verse. Wait... I actually believe God never misuses his creation.... But who's to say what misuse was. God created...

Like I said, I'm fine with you disagreeing with the KJV. I have my reasons why I stay with it and why I believe the use of the word "evil" is accurate, but I will let it go. Do you have any thoughts on John 1:3? Did God create everything, or are you still claiming that evil isn't "a thing"?

Aspen, it's not a matter of what I believe it is saying. Here's what it says: I make peace and create evil. I say God created evil. What is the difference in what God is saying and what I said? There is none! Well, there is a difference in that God said "I create evil [present tense], and...

You are avoiding Isa 45:7, John 1:3, Isa 44:24 (yes, that's a new one, but it says the same thing John 1:3 says) and so forth. I'd be happy to discuss Eze 28 if you'd give these verses more than a glance and writing them off of a KJV error.

Didn't think you did... Again, good post!

Well, that's from Romans 10:9-10.... But not a big deal. Jesus also said, "God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24. It seems to me that any person, Church or denomination that knows the truth should change their doctrines to fit that...

Not a bad post Aspen.... I'll have to kick it around a bit, so to speak. I THINK I know the answer to this, based on your words and your many former posts, but do you believe in the Prosperity Gospel. I think you don't. But I'd like a straighter "yes or no" answer.

I agree with Biggandyy... They do use a lot of scripture, but they fail to see the true context of it (and thus I agree with Episkapos). It is true however, that God can bless us with earthly financial means, but that doesn't always mean Mecedez Benz, big mansions and trips to the French...

If you are talking about the first nine words, I whole heartedly agree.

Thus saith Veteran! Yea... Wow.... That makes it so. Vet... we were predestined BEFORE Satan fell. And Satan was a evil before his manifestation. And you still do very little address the proper verses except bash the KJV....

It's ok for Christians to celebrate a lie, based on what verse?

Hey, for me, words mean something. Words like "worship", "truth", "must"... So I look at John 4:24 and can't look to celebrate Christmas. After reading that verse, and knowing that almost the entire traditional Christmas story is not true, I simply can't take it seriously, nor can I bring...

So again, we see that there isn't free will. God at any time reserves the perogative to intervene. Some didn't have free will, Veteran; you have implied that. However, you assume this isn't the case for everyone except through what you believe the scriptures say. There is not a verse in...
