    Free-will, is it really biblical obedience?

    Well a "servant" serves the "will" of another not there own "will". Because a "servant" has the ability to disobey does not prove that obedience comes by "free-will" in fact it is clear that obedience is "NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE" To become enslaved to Gods will is not free-will. Read your...

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    I agree with this post but would add that we are under the "law of Christ" to love as He loves us. In that love fulfills "all" the law. There is no commandment that is not fulfilled in the Love of God, shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Now some may not understand how love fulfills...

    Free-will, is it really biblical obedience?

    This is a point that I have tried to make to many who promote this term "free-will"? that the term can only be used to describe disobedience not biblical obedience to God, for all obedience is based upon the surrender of ones will unto the known will of God. Rom 12:1 I beseech you...

    Free-will, is it really biblical obedience?

    These are very common thoughts in my own walk with our beloved Christ "not my will but thine be done" is the biblical standard that I seek. How a term such as "free-will" has been used to cover over the Cross and our Lords Command to crucify ones own will with Him, seems a mystery to me? I...

    Free-will, is it really biblical obedience?

    As I have walked out the demand to be crucified with Christ, I find I grow further and further from being able to accept the term "free-will" as a term that would explain and support biblical obedience. We surrender unto obedience our own will, we are "slaves" of righteousness or slaves of sin...

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    Let us be clear as to the law in which Paul was speaking? The whole idea of the law being "broken" into parts is just a product of mans religion. The "law" is "EVERY JOT AND TITTLE" - "ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW" and the Ten Commandments are the core and foundation of all the...

    The Godhead

    The scriptures are my light and the clear reading of the scriptures make clear and evident the Father and the Son are One. I have seen no evidence of scripture to the things you declare? If you seek to convince honest Christians of anything you must be able to do so in the scriptures, not by...

    Predestination or "Free Will?"

    My friend Axehead, what you are describing is not "free-will" but surrendered will. A death to ones own abilty and strength is the answer that God demands. Not some confidence in ones own will and ability to work righteousness. Paul said "it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me"...

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    Yes, all those who claim to "keep" the law are breakers of the law, and those who have been saved by grace and turn back to the law have rejected (fallen from) the saving grace of Christ. Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that...

    The Godhead

    Not sure how the last post is supposed to defeat the truth of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as they manifest in the scriptures? One must work very hard to deny this clear and evident truth of the scriptures, I guess thats the only point I can see. :lol:

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    To discuss the issue of abiding in faith, and the warnings and instruction of scripture on the issue of continued faith, apart from understanding that "most" of the warnings of "turning" from true faith are made to those who desire to turn back into works of the law. (any part of the law)...

    Predestination or "Free Will?"

    Again I make no charge against any person, but I contend with a doctrine that denies the condition of mans flesh, and the need to crucify that flesh to the Cross. The natural man, "man of flesh" can no more please God by "free-will" any more than the pharisee could. Now the "free-will" religion...

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    The whole world is in "lawlessness" apart from the Spirit of God. No flesh of man is holy, only those who have and walk in the Holy Spirit are holy. The law is not the answer, grace is that which teaches us to deny ungodliness; Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath...

    The Godhead

    Why do you insist on making false claims about what I have have stated or believe? I never said "I dont support the Person" of the Lord Jesus Christ" I said I will not use the term because I know how folks like you love to twist terms and words to make points that only you think have any value...

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    How could power over sin lead to "gay ministers"? Gay people who do not know the real grace of God but only religion leads to gay ministers. Yes, John tells us what the commandments of God are in plain words; To believe on His Son and love as He gave commandment. You do understand that John...

    Predestination or "Free Will?"

    HiddenManna, You should be very cautious how you malign other children of God. We do not rely on our own righteousness...if we did we would not be Christian and would be guilty of proclaiming a false gospel. Is that what you are trying to say? Are we not Christian and are trampling the blood...

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    Im a little confused about how the last post was put together? I would like to answer willemacs concerns, but I do not see that post? And who is promoting sin but those who teach law, for the strength of sin is the law and the power over sin is grace. Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion...

    Predestination or "Free Will?"

    Of course this is true, they have not cast away their own strength and became weak, they have not become as fools to be made wise. They have not died to their own "free-will" at the Cross of our Lord. They yet go about to establish their own righteousness and call it "free-will" :wacko:

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    Wow, I agree and there is a difference between encouraging each other unto good works and laying yokes of religious works. Or taking a portion of scripture and building a false standard by which believers are put under bondage to the letter and not being feed as unto the spirit. Some of these...

    The most "evident" truth of scripture

    Well I dont like to let others describe my beliefs and then put me in some sort of religious box of their own understanding. I would ask what you mean by " keep the law"? That can mean a whole lot of things to a lot of people. If you mean fulfill the law through love? yes. And I think I can...
