"Your argument is not with me. My robot question was addressed to inhisname. inhisname definitely believes in the robotic nature of man. And, anyone else who believes that men will only love and worship God when God makes them believes in the robotic nature of man." No, you are mistaken. Even if you disagree with the biblical doctrine of man's radical fallenness, it is an incorrect assessment to conclude that all those who do hold to that teaching believe that humans are robots. Unregenerate people sin because they desire to sin. They can decide in what ways they are going to sin, and even refrain from some sins for sinful reasons. What they are morally incapable of doing is pleasing God. They do not want to do it, and they are incapable, apart from the Spirit's work, of wanting to do it. Speaking of the Spirit's work, you never responded as to how the Spirit works through the word. You said that you were not convinced by the Spirit of God, but rather you were convinced by the word of God through which the Spirit works. What does the Spirit do through the word? "Man can chose to be a slave to sin or a slave to Christ. Since I am not a robot, I have chosen Christ." That's interesting: you equate slavery with human autonomy, as if a slave were merely an employee who applies for a job and quits whenever he wants. --Joe! |

Joe! "...Unregenerate people sin because they desire to sin. They can decide in what ways they are going to sin, and even refrain from some sins for sinful reasons. What they are morally incapable of doing is pleasing God. They do not want to do it, and they are incapable, apart from the Spirit's work, of wanting to do it..."?? How does one 'refrain from sin for sinful reasons'? This is interesting. Do you mean that even when unregenerate man does 'good', it is really bad? It is all bad. Your other statement that "what they are morally incabable of doing is pleasing to God." I've studied this sentence and tried my very best to make sense of it. What is God pleased with? That the unregenerate are morally incapable of doing good? Help me out please. Samanatha Hear the Gospel, Believe it, Confess it, Repent and aline with it, Be baptized into it. - Acts 22:16 |

Thank you. It is a pleasure and I hope we can talk more. I hope that your light is shining and bringing glory to God. - Samantha If you have not heard, then hear. If you have heard, then believe. If you believe, then repent. If you believe, then confess. If you confess, have you done so in baptism? Acts 22:16. Visit the church of Christ this next Sunday. |
