Chris,
To get to where I am going, free will to accept the gift of faith in God is imperative.
If I assume free will, my point will be mute with you because you will say no one has free will to believe in God. That will be the end of it without you or Robert even considering it!
So what I must show you is we have free will to make good and bad decisions, including the free will of accepting the gift of faith in God. Hence my question to Robert. Robert was working with me here to get to the bottom of this free will to choose issue. That's why I wait for him. I want to try my best to show you the truth, without you simply dismissing it. That's why the questions and the exploration into this issue.
Chris, if I just lay this out on the table for you, without you believing in free will to choose, you will not believe it! That will be senseless....
So, do you want to wait for Robert to continue, or do you want to choose to step in for Robert and I will continue?
I leave it up to you...
God Bless, Steve
PS - I am not being evasive, nor trying to delay this thing any more than it needs to be. But we have to get to the bottom line on free will to choose! The outstanding question, along with a lot more scripture, which I haven't even got to yet, should help us get to the bottom of this.... |
