Santiago,

I was just using Pharaoh as one small piece of evidence to prove free will to choose....that's all!

I am trying to get to the new Testament but they have not absorbed that Pharaoh had free will to make a decision, and that is why God had to harden his heart. If Pharaoh could not make a good decision ever, God would have never had to harden his heart. It would have not been necessary. Pharaoh would have not been able to believe in God and make a good decision for God.

That's the only reason I am dwelling on Pharaoh. I will get to the New Testament once I feel I got this point across, or I am tired of banging my head against the wall unsuccessfully with the three muskateers. Believe me, I am starting to get there!

God Bless,
Steve

How about John 3:17 'fer thee Santiago-
"For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved."

How about this for a subject to discuss-

Why don't we greet one another with a holy kiss?

In Romans 16:16 Paul admonishes his readers to "Greet one another with a holy kiss."

Could it be that our kisses are:
1) Not holy
2) Not necessary (a handshake will do)
3) Not know how in this era
4) Would spread germs
5) Not necessary, we are under a different dispensation
6) Not to be taken literally (then what did he mean by telling them to?)

Or would we rather greet with an arrow than a holy kiss.
An arrow of judgment to the heart.
An arrow of "you're not 'adoin it right" to the heart.
An arrow of "I'm more holy than you", you don't deserve my kiss.

Ah, Santiago, we are missing out on the holy kiss
Look at what the modern Christians miss
If it were good 'enuf for Paul
It should be good 'enuf for all
To greet as Paul admonished would be sheer bliss

Wishing you a phenomenal journey with our Lord Jesus Christ.

And here it is--- all the way through the cybernet --- A HOLY KISS
