I DID answer you. You apparently do not like my answers. I said that some DO set themselves on fire because they WANT to. If you want me to answer personally: 1. Yes, I'm free to immolate myself. 2. No, I do not want to. I hope to find out what this means since MOST persons do not...

Excuse me ,,,, but YOU are che one who explained free will as compatibile free will. Please see your post no. 178 where you state that libertarian free will NEVER existed. I respond to what you post... I don t know whats in your mind. Can't reply to my post to you about Jesus dying for His...

BTW, Calvinism gives NO GLORY TO GOD. Since it is God who is made responsible for all sin in the world since it is God that predestinated everything...including sin. WE are not responsible for sin under your theology... GOD IS.

This is what you're replying to above: I said: And IF IT IS GOD who determines if I am to do GOOD OR EVIL.... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Word games A. YOU believe in compatible free will. That means that God makes you desire what HE desires... He cahnges YOUR will...

What does this have to do with anything? Some people WANT to set themselves on fire and HAVE set themselves on fire. What you're saying is that we are NOT ABLE to make a FREE WILL DECISION. You have NOT shown me where, when or how free will was taken away from us. God gave us free will in the...

How could the serpent compel Eve? She had free will to make a moral choice. God gave them a choice... choice requires free will.

Of course all of the above is true. This is the problem as I see it. To arrive at your belief system, one has to take scripture and change it to mean things it is not even speaking to. There are many verses that explain HOW one comes to be a sheep,,,,and very palinly. There is NO VERSE that...

How about bleeding saints? I don't say that the CC approved of these "miracles". But it sure did USE THEM instead of REJECTING THEM. As I just stated to BoL...the church did nothing to educate its parishioners. What a lost opportunity !

Who's talking about behavior? I said: The catholic church has done a terrible job of educating its people. A TERRIBLE JOB OF EDUCATING. Protestants have used the bible to EDUCATE their people. The CC has NOT. In the states reading the bible was not ENCOURAGED when I was a young person. In...

Did God determine that Adam was to eat the fruit? Does God have to determine everything that happens because He's so afraid of free will? (libertarian of course). If you understand about love... HOW could you not have understood what the other member was posting? Would YOU want YOUR wife to...

You DO have a problem understanding love M,,, and is it any wonder why.

And IF IT IS GOD who determines if I am to do GOOD OR EVIL.... is He a JUST GOD, as scripture states, if He sends me to hell for doing what HE MADE ME DO? God is just: Deuteronomy 32:4 Romans 3:26

Difficult to believe in real love when one believes in a God that does not know or transmit real love. Sad indeed. To miss out on God's love and mercy, and criticize those who are enjoying living with God instead of wondering if they're even saved...as many calvinists do.

How about getting me that verse that states that Jesus only died for a select few? And, I do believe that those that make God out to be unloving, unmerciful and unjust, are the ones disrespecting scripture.....not the ones that believe scripture. 1 John 4:8 Exodus 34:6-7 Acts 10:34-35

@Mjh29 What do you make of John 5:28-29 ?

Oh yes. Carpet bombing works really well. You must have a problem dealing with one truth at a time... Much better to list tens of verses you don't even understand so that the other member cannot even BEGIN to reply to you. Great method indeed, for those who do not know scripture.

Sure I am. Adam and Eve had free will. LIBERTARIAN free will. Look up preternatural gifts...I gave you links to google,,,and even listed them. People that know about Adam and Eve know about preternatural gifts and don't even have to look up what they are. One of those gifts,,,,was NOT free...

The CC has done a TERRIBLE JOB of educating its parishioners. If they had, I might have stayed in that church. They've started now. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

Yes. Too bad it's not what the N.T. teaches,,or even the O.T. for that matter. Compatabilist free will is NO FREE WILL. It must be a lot of fun being a little robot for God. I wonder if He appreciates YOUR love...which HE forces on you... As much as MY LOVE...which is freely given. Yes...

What's the problem... You can't find any verse that states what you believe?
