The Image Of God

So are you indeed unable to form your own opinions?

So are you indeed unable to form your own opinions?

Don't you think that a bit of a ridiculous statement. What would you propose instead of quoting scripture that I rephrase it into words of my own?
Well that is exactly what Mr Taylor was doing and his very words expressed just that. That he was paraphrasing. To which you condemned him for. So it would seem you nether accept the direct quote or paraphrasing but would rather cause disunion. Which is exactly why I'm having this conversation with you, Firstly to attempt to reason with you, which IMO is an impossibility and secondly, if nothing more than to demonstrate that fact to others that read these post.

I'm not going to read 5 pages from someone else's theory. All that tells me is you blindly accept it and can't make the argument on your own.

But right here just today in the other tread you said you did read it. So are you now a lair as well?

What say you of the inability to answer the scripture we posted?

What links? The one back to your prior post in thread thread? Yes, I've read it, and it doesn't answer the question. You continually avoid answering the question.

Post 207 right here just today

I think your conversation is over.

I think the real question is, why did you pull that other thread into this one and derail it?

No the real question is why do you say one thing in one and something else in another.
Your simply trying to distract from the fact that I caught you lying. While trying to preserve your credibility in both.

There's no lie I thought you were referring to this post and this link:

Don't forget to read Duckys post at the top, he highlighted...... I AM TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.

That's what happens when you're overly vague in your argument.

No thats what happens when you insist on commenting on a subject you refuse to research.

Bud... you can't explain your view in any way other than linking to someone else's article about it.

I tried but all I got was smart remarks similar to the ones you started off with in this thread.
You fail to see the reason for this long conversion. Its not about the substance of the debate its about your attitude.

My point was he was using his human assumptions to arrive at conclusions.
That's my beef. What's the Bible actually say, verses what you are assuming it supporting.

His assumption was that men and God both have the same will, and because of this is why we can love... That's not stated anywhere in Scripture.
The rest of my postings are simply trying to show him that man and God don't have the same will.

The highlighted is not true! God has a free will that includes His Perfect Will for man, that none should perish, but that all should repent and come to salvation (memory) but that is not what will happen for wide is the gate that leadeth to destruction and many are they that enter there. (again, my memory) God ceated man in His image and my contention has always been (not recorded in the scriptures) that part of that image is the same Free Will that God has.\

I did not argue, nor shall I argue that God's free will is constrained by His very nature, but the same is true of His creation. It would be a good thing to agree to disagree on this issue and let's be Christian friends.

And you do that by making statements as you did in your first post. I don't believe that's a very effective way of reasoning together.
As I know from personal experience with you in our discussion about hell, you were not at all interested in reading the links I provided. But instead chose to continue the division, similar to this thread. You enter the topic or conversation like a bull in a china shop, myself as well as Mr Taylor find the solution is to exit as I did in the other thread, or continue in your mannerism and destroy everything in sight. Take a piece of advice from someone that has managed people for many years, the manager sets the tenor. If you look for peace or disunion you will surly find it. Gal 6:7-8

Very solid and Christian advise, my6 friend.
