"We do not chose God.. God choses us and keeps all those whom He choses by the power of His Hand."
I have to disagree w/you on that pt., seeing as how God created Adam and Eve, and yet they chose to disobey Him, and so sin. As for the 'power of His hand', no, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree w/you on that too. the power is only as good as one wants it to be. I try not to sin, but sometimes I do, when I do, the 'power of His hand' is nothing compared to my free will. It doesn't matter how much He wants me to be w/Him, if I don't want to, then I'm not. If you say that if I die in this state then I was wicked to begin w/, then you're defending yourself w/a silly argument: God's chosen must ALWAYS be saved, whether they want to or not. If they don't want to be saved, then they must not have been chosen in the first place. If we are made w/FREE WILL, then we choose whether or not we are saved. (I know YOU hate that phrase, free will) |
