So, you had a righteousness or goodness that the other person did not have?
That is the ramification of being "better" or "smarter" than the other one.
In order for you to respond in choosing God, it has to be from a position of goodness. One cannot make a right response in choosing God from a position of blindness, being at war with God, hating God and loving darkness, now can they?
Do you think you can make the right choice without making it from a position of goodness?
So, you agree that before one can respond affirmatively to the Gospel, there first has to be an act of transformation by the Holy Spirit upon the heart?
MeekOne said:Did I say that? I don't remember saying that. I don't think I ever used the words goodness or righteousness in the context of our conversation. Interesting...are these words you heard others say and want me to adopt them as well? It just doesn't fit right does it.

MeekOne said:Yes, I do. BTW...I was kidding about being smart enough before. It is the Lord's Holy Spirit that guides us to making that decision. Its one of the reasons we pray before ministering to others that the Lord open their hearts to hear the true message of the gospel presentation and ask Him to give them the Spirit of acceptance.
