1 | Robots? | Gen 4:7 | Reformer Joe | 79802 | ||
"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!, I don't have time now to respond to everything as I have to go to work. Being a slave to Christ is a choice, and yes, God forbid, I could choose to to walk away from Him. Your statement is a bit flippant, and I think you know that I do not view discipleship as something to be entered into lightly. sniper |

"Your statement is a bit flippant" It was, and I apologize. "I think you know that I do not view discipleship as something to be entered into lightly." Nor do I. "Being a slave to Christ is a choice" Specifically, we were discussing whether being a slave to sin was a choice for the unsaved. Why would Paul utilize the image of slavery if what he were really talking about is merely free human preferences? --Joe! |

Maybe sniper is talking about a willing slave. But there are no willing slaves of Christ. They are robots. | ||||||
