"Any person who asks." Explain these verses based on your belief of free will. Romans 9 14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

<We Love our children unconditionally, and we don't want to see them hurt in any way> No one who has children can truly believe in the Bible. <I believe we do have free will.> "For many are called, but few are chosen." CC

Dear Colleen, <<I don't know if you have children. But I compare it to the Love of a parent. We Love our children unconditionally, and we don't want to see them hurt in any way. But we realize we have to let them learn to walk and run, even though they stumble and fall. We have to let them learn to do these things.And even though they make mistakes, we welcome them with open arms when they need us because we Love them unconditionally, just as the Lord Loves us.>> Amen, He wants us to learn and grow,therefore mercy is essential, Nancy
