Posted : 30 Dec, 2011 11:45 AM I feel overwhelmed right now so I hope this is going to be cohesive and just plain comes out right. I honestly do not know the balance between the sovereignty of G-d and free-will. I do not believe any denomination does. I personally believe everything in the Bible has balance except: Y-shua is Messiah, salvation for all mankind is only through Him, and He died on the cross, rose on the third day and is coming back as Messiah Ben David. That may be fun to debate in this post� The point: I have many friends who have been freed from drug addiction and alcoholism and many other horrible �addictions� such as sexual perversion. Then there a person I know very well (my ex-husband). I have been praying for his deliverance for at least 15 years. I visited him today in the hospital; he is there for pancreatitis, serious of the liver. He is saved, I led him to the Lord before we got married and he is a good church going, involved person. This may bring up another topic those who think he can not possibly be saved. About balance between sovereignty and freewill, I talk to Y-shua a lot about not knowing the balance but I am sure I am one who somehow beyond me got to know Him as my Lord. It sue wasn�t my will that got me saved and billions die not knowing Him and I know He didn�t choose for them to be in hell� so I am just grateful what ever the answer is I am among the saved!!!!! Before I left the hospital today I told him I do not have any faith in you but I KNOW MY Y-SHUA. I have seen in my own life and the lives of others the scripture when He opens the book of Isaiah and quotes (Luke18-19)�The Spirit of THE LORD JEHOVAH is upon me, and because of this he has anointed me to preach The Good News to the poor; he has sent me to heal broken hearts and to proclaim liberty to captives, vision to the blind, and to restore the crushed with forgiveness,� �And to proclaim the acceptable era of The Lord J-hovah.� Y-shua is just as alive today as He was at the time He said this so it still holds just as true today as then that in our ears it its being fulfilled that He is: preaching The Good News to the poor; he is healing broken hearts and to proclaiming liberty to captives, giving vision to the blind, and to restoring the crushed with forgiveness. I am sad right now but hopeful in my Lord and the truth is some die from this disease but at least I know Bob is saved and the death ratio is 1:1� the Bible says there is a day unto which a man shall die. It does not give the day or how just we will. Some die as children some live to be very old. I hope and pray he stays clean so he can live a little longer. Well now my mind is just going all over the place�. So what do you think about the balance between freewill and the sovereignty of G-d in how our lives play out???? Post Reply

Posted : 30 Dec, 2011 01:07 PM So what do you think about the balance between freewill and the sovereignty of G-d in how our lives play out???? We make the Choice to Choose Jesus! He is a Healer, Should this be His will to do so! Praise God for Jesus, He is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever! In the Life of a Believer; Jesus is Lord and He is Always in Control no matter what the Situation. We must contend for the FAITH. :applause: Post Reply

Posted : 30 Dec, 2011 02:42 PM Will pray for Bob's healing, as nothing is impossible with G-d, His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts. I think there are many spiritual truths we just have to accept by faith. I don't think our finite minds can comprehend G-d's majesty. Post Reply

Posted : 30 Dec, 2011 03:34 PM There is no way we can EVER look at another person and say that "They will never accept Jesus". God saves whom He saves, and we never know who that will be. I attend a small church that has about 60 adults and maybe 35 children. We had a man accept Jesus at 67 years old. This man served God with the rest of His life, and he truly loved God. So, I would never say you should give up on praying that God save another person. Whatever sin enslaved will a person has, will be transformed when the Holy Spirit makes them come alive. There are people who seem like they are all for Christianity, but they are just as spiritually dead as the loud mouthed Atheist, who is a great sinner. And God can take them BOTH and make them come alive spiritually and BOTH of them will be new creatures, alive in Jesus. It is up to God's Mercy, and thank God NOT up to the will of man.
