inhisname, I appreciate that you are trying to correct error when you see it. I hope that I am big enough to admit when I am wrong, and I hope the same for you. Do you think that God would be pleased with people who loved him and obeyed Him only because they were forced to? Do you think that God would truly be happy with someone followed him only because He gave them the belief and obedience? Wouldn't that make us robots acting only in the ways in which God has programmed us? I believe that the Bible teaches the freewill of man, and that God is pleased when someone obeys Him because they chose to love Him. God bless you in youe search for truth. sniper |

And God bless you. Your questions are honest and would be worth consideration IF man had free will. But man doesn't. Not since the fall of man. Without that free will means that God has to do it all. There is no other choice. About being a Robot. I wouldn't use that word. A robot is not flesh and blood. There is a "big" difference! So many people are talking about works when they know that salvation is by faith only until death. |

All men have free will. Saved or unsaved We can choose to do good or evil We can choose to obey or not We can choose to do Gods will or not We can choose to follow him or not We can choose to submit or not We can choose to stand in his name or run We can choose to … That is why God gave the Law first to the Jew and now Grace to all He chose us. But we have a choice to make as well. Ecclesiastes 12 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. |

Divine sovereignty AND human responsibility I agree. We need to bear in mind BOTH the sovereignty of God AND the responsibility of man. It isn't EITHER/OR; it's BOTH. To pretend that one exists without the other is to lead oneself or others into serious error. |

Radioman, I always find what I was taught on this subject to be the most balanced approach to this question. You may find it interesting even if you do not agree with all of it. http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/TRENT6.HTM#1 Emmaus |

It is nice to have other opinions, but the only and final authority is God’s word. Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. |

I believe it is an opinion based on the authority of God's word. You may have noticed the scriptural citations in the endnotes. | ||||||
