Subject: Two aspects of the will of God |
Bible Note: Tim The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses anything. --J. Edwards. The question remains: Upon what basis does the will choose A in preference to B? I contend that the answer is: The basis upon which the will chooses is the desire of the person being faced with the choice. Therefore, (assuming you agree that desire motivates choice) the "heart", being the seat of the intellect and emotions, determines which choice the will will make. The heart rules the will. I sa this because the irrefutable truth is that man MUST choose that which he most strongly desires. If you disagree with my understanding of what constitutes the "will", please tell me how it differs from your own definition. John |
