Bible Question:
Does Man as the (unregenerated) human, have the ability (free will) to make the choice, in our accepting, or rejecting Jesus as savior? Nevvvvine |
Bible Answer: Newwine: Your profile is interesting to read. I wish others would follow your example and tell us something about themselves as you have done so well. This may seem trifle, but we don't "accept" Christ. We must surrender to Christ. To surrender to the calling of the Holy Spirit who convicts us of our sinfullness and our need to surrender to the Love, Mercy, Grace of Gods love and pardon by His one and only Son Jesus Christ. Most misunderstood is the fact Jesus accepts us just as we are. The two phrases I fell do wrong in an invitation aor "ask Jesus into your heart" and "to accept Jesus" inreality the idea is there but the words are not well chosen at all. Now, for free will. If mankind does not have free will to surrender or free will to reject the pleads of the Holy Spirit, then missionaries are a waste of time. Unless a person takes a verse out of context, you can't find a verse that says we do not have free will. Read John 3 as a total text and see if you follow what I mean. I would encourage you to reconsider what tou say in your User Info. There are some good commentaries that have come out in the last 30 years, so don't be so negative. Blessings NewWine. justme |
