Thanks Mark; When I looked up the word "passive" in my Websters Dictionary I got the following definition: passive adj. 1. influenced or acted upon without exerting influence or acting in return; inactive but acted upon. 2. offering no opposition or resistance; submissive; yielding; patient. 3. taking no part; inactive; inert. 4. in grammar, indicating that the subject is the receiver (object) of the action the verb denotes (e.g., in "the tree was struck by lightning," was struck is said to be in the passive voice). Then looking up the word "consent" I end up with the following definition; consent 1. to agree (to do something); give permission, approval. 2. an act of the will By using those definitions, I don't see how it is possible to be both "passive" and "consenting" at the same time. Correct me if I am wrong. However, if what I am thinking is correct, do you still wish to be put down as "passive" but "consenting" God Bless you Mark New Creature |

Hi New Creature, I don't know how to go beyond these answers, but that doesn't surprise me, as we read things like: "choose this day whom you shall serve" and "you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you". "How I have longed to gather you together...but you would not" and "(God) who works all things together according to the counsel of His own will". I have both been enjoying and profiting from this discussion. This one thing I know: Salvation is from our Lord. We will rejoice that our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life! Love in Christ, Mark |

Thanks again Mark I want you to know that I am not disagreeing with you. I merely am probing you to see if you still remain firm in your stance of "being passive, but consenting" I see you continue to remain standing firm in what you believe concerning this discussion, and I commend you for that. The reason I probe deeper in questioning individuals, is to come away with a better understanding of how individuals view this topic. Keep in the word God Bless you New Creature |

Hi New Creature, Personally I enjoy this type of discussion as it challenges me to truly know and understand what I believe. Your tone has not been aggressive, condescending, or otherwise negative, and I, again, have profited from our exchanges. It is my hope and prayer that you do also. Love in Christ, Mark |
