Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: Cwade "My dear brother, if God can override someone's "free will" and change their heart, and open their eyes "a little bit" why can't He change their heart a whole bunch?" There is a difference between showing someone a need and forcing them to change. I believe the Holy Spirit must reveal the need, I think someone must preach the solution but applying it God leaves up to the individual. If not then we are merely controlled.
