It was according to God's decretive will that you posted in error. But it was according to how you understood God's preceptive will that you then corrected it.Perhaps I should not even change what autocorrect changes it to, it must be God's will - is that what the Calvinistas would think anyway?
Mn is born into a fallen state.....we are not sinners because we sin...we sin because we are sinners.Ok, so why did Adam effectively reject God? After all, we just continue in his sin of rebellion until we see the light-and reject/reverse his decision and orientation within ourselves. Man has a choice; man is a morally accountable being rather than an amoral beast who merely reacts to his environment-which is why we hold each other accountable for criminal or immoral acts-while also recognizing that, yes, our histories may well mitigate culpability.
They haven't been sanctified and glorified yet.ok then, so why are regenerated new persons not perfect in all the virtues? Does God not perform a completed work?
