Thanks for your opinion..no idea what you are talking about, but thanks..No, that’s not it.
To a point. Did God plan to cut of the ear of the guy coming to arrest Him? Not sure. The general events were planned. He knew what people would do. That is not predestination.That would be Foreknowledge. Please address that the events of Christ’s arrest, conviction and death were predetermined.
No such thing a bonded will! Not before we make the choice to receive Jesus or reject Him. We have free choice.No my continuing point has been we all make choices in accordance with our bonded will..
It is still escaping your comments that we do in fact make our own decisions but it is colored by the bondage of the will.
Your view is people have a more complete plan going into their mundane day than God does eternally?To a point. Did God plan to cut of the ear of the guy coming to arrest Him? Not sure. The general events were planned. He knew what people would do. That is not predestination.
Dude you really need to read Romans.No such thing a bonded will! Not before we make the choice to receive Jesus or reject Him. We have free choice.
Please read Romans 6 before making such comments.If we are free to chose Jesus and eternal life, that is not bondage.
You won’t admit that man doesn’t deserve salvation. That’s strange.If someone asks loaded questions and do not get the answer they hoped for...so be it.
I know you don’t.Thanks for your opinion..no idea what you are talking about, but thanks..
Exactly. The fact that people deny having a nature that deserves wrath, even though scripture specifically teaches it, is mind boggling.Please read Romans 6 before making such comments.

It’s why approaching theology systematically is so importantExactly. The fact that people deny having a nature that deserves wrath, even though scripture specifically teaches it, is mind boggling.
“Having sometime before convinced us to of the impossibilityof our nature to obtain life, hath now shown us the Savior, who is able to save that which otherwise were impossible to be saved,” (Epist. ad Diognet. p. 500.). Justin Martyr A.D. 150
Long before Augustine
I remember you, a lot of similar arguments in the Origins debate. What we choose is insignificant to God choosing us. What did you choose when you were saved exactly; revelation, repentance, justification, sanctification, the new nature that results in new birth, all come from God. God predestined that all who would be righteous would be the righteousness of God in Christ, there was never a plan B. I'm hearing a lot about what you do, the freedom of will, the choice the individual makes, but nothing about God's foreknowledge and predestination. That's not how Paul described salvation, why would we?No such thing a bonded will! Not before we make the choice to receive Jesus or reject Him. We have free choice.
The freedom to chose it not mundane. Being locked into some bizzaro world pre destined situation where billions were doomed to hell before they were born is not mundane but monstrous.Your view is people have a more complete plan going into their mundane day than God does eternally?
Yes, totally escaping my thoughts. People are free, not locked in.It is still escaping your comments that we do in fact make our own decisions but it is colored by the bondage of the will.
