Choose, Chosing, Choice:

Bob got out of Bed at 7 am this morning.



It does not say Bob chose to get of bed at 7a.m. but it is known by most it was a choice.



Sharon hit the snooze button two times this morning.



It does not say Sharon chose to hit the snooze, but it is known to most she made a choice to hit the snooze button.



The father knows it is so:



The Son knows it is so:



The Holy Spirit knows it is so:



All three know that the same way man choose to stop for a stop sign the same man choose to accept Jesus or reject him.



Satan knows very well how productive it is to twist this simple truth.

"Bob got out of Bed at 7 am this morning." - He chose to get out of bed because he did not want to be late.

"Sharon hit the snooze button two times this morning." - She chose to hit the snooze out of habit

"man choose to stop for a stop sign" - Man stopped because he did not want to get a ticket.

"man choose to accept Jesus" - Man accepted because God set it in mans heart causing him to accept Jesus. "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."

"man choose to reject Jesus" - Man rejected because he does not seek God. "For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written: None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.�

We have already been thru Calvin's doctrine.



My faith is in the word of God, btw it is faith that save not a generator, or doctrines of men will not produce faith



Believing is always man's choice it is never Calvin's doctrine.



No mental effort's will ever please the lord.





Btw the scripture you quote has long been answered.



It is nothing for men to add to the word of God.



It is called the tradition's of men.



The way of Cain.

Yes it does if you are acting as a natural man.

PJ, unfortunately as you have stated on other threads, it doesn't matter how straight forward the truth is presented...or how obvious the words are in the verse, there will be people here that present a higher, deeper knowledge of the basic language of the Bible. Words we learned and used throughout our lives take on entirely different meanings.

God's plan of salvation that He laid out from the beginning is not complicated. It's easy enough for a child to understand and accept.

you may call it a choice but if the deack is already stacked,there isn't much choice involved.



The problem starts when the argument spans different levels of conciousness.Yes God's plan is very simple on the surface.But can be found very complex,intertwined and ever unfolding as ytou look deeper into it.



They are not contrasting ideas,just views of the same on differenet levels by the filter of your owns lifes experience.



You may think you have chosen to wake up at 8 but whom has placed the desire to do so in you?



Like they say,you can lead a horse to water butb you can't make him drink...though you can feed him a little salt can't you?
