Bible Note: Lionstrong: 1) I have no desire to discuss free will. 2) I've already told you how, how many times and in what connection the Scriptures use the term "freewill." 3) I do not deny that human choice and responsibility exist. But freewill is not the term the Bible uses when it talks about human choice. 4) By your previous comments re science and the Bible, I thought you were the one who rejected the existence of anything or any concept not specifically mentioned in the Bible. 5) Why do I get the idea that even if I did give a definition of freewill, you would immediately pounce upon it, tell me where it is wrong, and speedily reject my definition? 6) To quote Hank: "If the general, generic definition of "[freewill]" is what you want, avail yourself of a dictionary. Why must we push issues on this forum beyond the limit of propriety? To what avail is it? It benefits no one to have the same old issues, some of them pointless to begin with, debated ad nauseam." |
