Subject: Which proposition is scriptural? |
Bible Note: Heres an analogy of what I believe.... God gives us freedom to choose and the ability to walk. Eventually, we come to a door that leads to Him. We cannot open the door ourselves, so He opens it for us. So that our choice to be with Him (or not) can be meaningful, it must be genuinely ours and ours alone. So, while we depend on God for our freedom to choose and the ability to walk, we are the only ones with the ability to align our will with His or not. |
