Bible Note: My dear Brian, to disagree with me makes you neither a hopeless degenerate nor places your name on my hit list! You say that "most men have common sense, and they are able to reason." You may find that to be true in your area, but in my neck of the woods common sense is not so common, and reason is all too frequently overshadowed by whim, caprice, passion, appetite, and political correctness. In your last statement, citing John 2:1-10, you said, "Jesus recognized that man does have free will to decide." Brian, not trying to be contentious, I don't see the link between your statement and the Scripture passage you referenced. While I don't necessarily refute your statement, as you used it in this context, that Jesus recognizes that man does have free will to decide, try telling that to the five-point Calvinists! --Hank |
