Bible Question: Jesus chose appropriately, and Grace was not yet with us when he did so. I agree that man is condemned by the Law because of sin, but free will plays the most important role. If you cannot recognize temptations role in sin, I pity you. We will not be tempted with more than we can bear. We have every capacity to choose between right and wrong. The Law of moses was created to identify sin, that we should not sin. God gives us all we need (right down to salvation and grace), to avoid sin and defy the flesh by walking in the spirit. I am sorry you feel you are constrained by more than you can bear. Can I help you in any way? |
Bible Answer: Stultis the Fool: Thanks for asking me if you can help me in any way. It was a kind gesture, but off-hand I can't think of any way that you could help me. By the way, how do you feel that I need help, and why might you think you're able to help me? (If I think of any way you can help, I'll be sure to let you know.) .......... I do have a few comments about your post. In it you say, "Jesus chose appropriately, and Grace was not yet with us when he did so." What does this mean? .......... You say, "...free will plays the most important role." I'm at a loss to find a scriptural reference for this. Where does the Bible mention man's "free will" and where does it say that man's free will plays the most important role -- in anything? ....... You say, "We have every capacity to choose between right and wrong." Where does the Bible teach this? ....... Did you read the 13 passages of Scripture that I submitted to you in my former post? Did you study them? Do you believe them? Would you care to comment on whether you read them and what effect, if any, they have on your thinking about man's sinful condition. Let's stick with what Scripture says. My opinion, precious soul, is worthless -- as worthless as any other man's. God's word is the only thing that counts, for it is priceless. Adieu. --Hank |
