    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Good day, Not sure why you assert "he was not sure" “We have a doctrine called the perseverance of the saints. I do not like that name for it; while saints do persevere, it is not because they have the power of perseverance within themselves. If it were left to me to persevere in my Christian...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Good day, SJ I contend that if he wanted to have Mercy on all he could in fact choose to do that. Do you believe he wants to and he is unable to do so? I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. Mercy is a verb he "wills" to do it. Now I guess it would be fair to say he has Mercy even to...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Good day, SJ I would like to see that... I do believe that God is love and loves every one he just does not love every one the same. The loving merciful God loves those he chooses to adopts as His own in one way. Those that are not His children he loves just not in the same way. I love my...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Good day, Bling Everybody believes in free-will and the ability of men to make choices: Edwards covers it here: "You may think that there is no great need to take trouble to define or describe the will, because the word ‘will’ is generally as well understood as any other words we might use to...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Good day,Bling He will have mercy on who he has (choice) mercy. I agree he is not arbitrary, but arbitrary does not require "equality" God does not act in a random manner. Everything he does in necessary and serves His purpose / intentions and good pleasure and can not be thawed. In Him, Bill

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Good day, Bling “Let’s assume that all men are guilty of sin in the sight of God. From the mass of humanity, God sovereignly decides to give mercy to some of them. What do the rest get? They get justice. The saved get mercy and the unsaved get justice. Nobody gets injustice.” ― R. C. Sproul...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Good day, Ozso Then the very next verse: Joh 12:33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. The context has noting to do with the universal inability of man to come to Christ. .It has to do with the kind of death he would suffer. Context is king. In Him, Bill

    Good day, GKG Your appeal to consciences is useless: The unregenerate unbelieving man's mind and conscience is: To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. The word defiled here twice in 1...
