Human reason is different than Divine Revelation. Faith from above requires faith to offer reason opportunity to ascent to it's revelation.
Right, you hit in the target, praised be our GOD, for it is what the Word of GOD says, and prevails. About faith, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God-
Romans 10:v.17-the Word is GOD. Have you penetrated and understood this mystery, Eloy, and discerned why the creature dies and how may he live for ever by/through the Word?
GOD said by the prophet Jeremiah: Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death-
Jeremiah 21:v.8. I will highligth at follow the way of death, our last Enemy, the last enemy to be annihilated. Hope that you understand because the matter is very terrible, it's unpleasant.
Yes, as you said, "Human reason is different than Divine Revelation"; yes, for sure, it because Divine Revelation is from the tree of life, and Human reason is from the tree of evil, therefore, we cannot mix the two things, by no manner of means, if so, dies, understand? GOD said: These are the generations of the heavens(1) and of the earth(2) when they (the generations) were created in the Day that the Lord GOD made the earth and the heavens.(Heavens are not the Sky/physical space of Universe, but celestial environments created in Christ JESUS -
Ephesians 1:v.3, among other references-Check it). By the way, the garden of Eden is a good example what is a celestial environment / an heavenly place created by our GOD.
The Divine Revelation is from above, it is from heaven, from the tree of good, it's from GOD, the tree of life, so, thinking from a human perspective, from HUMAN reason as you said, it is very different than Divine Revelation, because this is from MAN, it is from the tree of evil. A good example of this is showed in the Word of GOD
-Matthew 16:v.22-23. Check it.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND: We cannot eat fruit of the two trees, from the good and evil tree, we cannot do a mix eating both fruits, if so, dies. As JESUS said, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto GOD the things that are GOD's-
Matthew 22:v.19.
In other words, as was ordained by our GOD-
Genesis 2:v.17, we cannot eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good
(FROM GOD, FROM HEAVEN, FROM ABOVE) and evil fruit
(FROM MAN, FROM EARTH), fruit that springs from men, from the dust of earth, it sprouts from men in the way the Devil likes, whose thinking is only from a human perspective, and by them the Devil spread his tares).
As GOD said, of the tree of the knowledge of good (that is of GOD) and evil (that is of the Devil, or devils), thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Yes, mixing the two types of language, the heavenly linguage with the earthly, and animal, and even bestial language of men, surely dies. Death and life are in the power of the tongue -
Proverbs 18:v.21.
Knowing of this, Paul the Apostle said: Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils(of men): ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils(of men). But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice (their cults, their devilsh theories, the earth is infested of devilish theories, theories of demons), which they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP with devils-
1Corinthians 10:v.20-21. GOD forbid us. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Death or Life)-
Proverbs 18:v.21.
That's me. I must really try your patience.
Oh, you are welcome. The patience works experience; and the experience, hope, and hope makes not confusion; because the love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.
Thanks but even if true it redirects focus from the subject (free will) to me. A human and earthly creature .
In the environment created by GOD, a celestial place in Christ JESUS-
Ephesians 1:v.3, there is not the supposed "free will" , absolutely, this theory is from the tree of evil. What prevails the Word of GOD, the Word of life, the Word is GOD, and what He ordains must be obeyed, otherwise dies.
"Free will" exists only and only in the satanic environment of the world of Devil, the world of death, there the men do what they want, every thing, in the way the Devil likes-
1Corinthians 6:v.10-11, among others; Matthew 4:v.8-9- and they die.
The Devil tries to implant his satanic theory of "free will" within the heavenly place in Christ JESUS-
Ephesians 1:v.3-but the true Christians do not ignore of his devices-
2Corinthians 2:v.11, and are able to fight against the Devil's wiles-
Ephesians 6:v.11.
