1 | Freewill before the fall? | Gen 2:9 | Mommapbs | 125997 | ||
I respectfully disagree that the lost person does not have free will. God graciously gives each of us the opportunity to choose Him. (Notice that Jesus asks the cripple in John 5:6 - "Do you want to get well?") Indeed, we too have a choice to accept or reject the love of God in Christ which reconciles sinners and restores that which was lost. But imo, free will was NOT lost at the fall of man. Blessings, mommapbs |

2 | Freewill before the fall? | Gen 2:9 | Country Girl | 126000 | ||
I'd have to agree with Mommapbs. Although God does hope to entice us into obeying Him, He certainly does NOT force our hand or our decision. I'm convinced each of us has 100 percent complete and total freedom to choose as we would like. Yes, the fish is forced to live the life of a fish but notice he's free to swim and roam the whole world depending on his species, freshwater or saltwater. In the same regard, yes we humans must live in a finite world and stay here on earth UNLESS we take our own supply of food and oxygen with us. Thus we can choose to make of our life what we like both physically and most especially our spiritual lives. We can choose to live the lifestyle of a chirstian and do the best in following the Bible, OR we can choose to follow any other course like the Devil or just not choose which is really a cop out. Those are the only two choices we have. And of course, God will hold us accountable for our choices. Hope this helps to clarify and Blessings to you. Country Girl |

Bruce7, It might help if you could qualify your question with a reference as to what exactly your looking for:-) It's a bit open-ended. I would have to believe in being chosen as scripture tells me I am. Particularly Col. 3:12: "So, as those who have been chosen of God..." 2nd Thessalonians tells us that "...we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation..." Obviously there are numerous other references such as 1 Tim. 5:21, 2 Tim. 2:10, Tit. 1:1 and 1 Pet. 2:9, etc. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
