Subject: Not my will? |
Bible Note: Are you then saying that if Jesus had decided to choose to not die, God's plan for the restoration of his creation would have then failed? I believe that Jesus choice was not a free will decision, it had already been decided what would prevail. Jesus always followed the Fathers commands, and to die was one of those commands. For us to follow Jesus we also must already have this direction, of not my will but yours, implanted within us. This can only be done through the Holy Spirit influencing our wills. Barry |
