I have nothing to lose by taking your advice... in otherwords > Thanks! We were praying together before bed. I have to work on leading us into doing that again... I think I really needed that reminder! Have a wonderful weekend. God bless!

Yes, she lived at home. She lived with only her mother, and she was an only child. A bit spoiled, but I love her. :yes She never lived away from home, not until moving in with me. I think all that can be done is to love like 1: Corinthians; to love without seeking my own way or insisting upon...

No. In fact, she was much more giving and into it. Even right after the wedding, the first couple of weeks were awesome. Then... we had a rough year. Almost as soon as the hunny moon was over we lost one after another. She lost a great aunt right before the wedding too. She and I had a lot of...

I know exactly what you are saying Reba, and for my part I try very hard to be useful and helpful. I will do the grocery shopping, do the laundry, dishes, and generally help out without being asked. I will even sit with her while she reads her book a couple nights a week and listens also to her...

If my background can help fill in needed information to allow you to give me proper advice, here it is brother: <O:p</O:p I was having intercourse with my very first girlfriend in high school. I was nineteen years old and she had turned eighteen years old. During this time I had considered...

No, she is not on any birth control. Currently, maybe it is because we are very early along in our first pregnancy? However, that would only account for the past two months, not the first year and eight months. While the frequency is at times extremely frustrating for me, I’ve heard that...

Only two years. I have a lot to learn about my wife still.

I have the exact same issue in my own marriage and trying to figure out how to get your spouse in the mood is extremely tricky and difficult. Especially when they just want to lay around reading a book, not to be bothered at all… especially before bed and/or after work... leaving exactly when to...

Given the example in your post above, you are not, in my opinion, advocating that Mankind doesn’t have a Free Will. This is good as we now have a common ground to further discuss. As I now might better understand your point of view. Is it accurate for me to say, that what you are basically...

So are you saying that Mankind will NOT use his Free Will to choose salvation through Christ, when the option to do so has already been offered to all of Mankind through the Gift of Grace, by the act of Christ on the Cross? Are you saying that it is actually God who chooses to act upon us in...

One aspect of the viewpoint that mankind does not have free will, that I simply find offensive, is the fact that without the free will of mankind to choose obedience or disobedience to Gods will, is that God then becomes conflicted in Gods own will. How can I make that argument? Here is how...

Excellent rebuttal! You left nothing for me to add or build upon.

You believe or think your judgment was a righteous judgment? How so? You stated that: “If you believe man has Free Will, you do not believe in God of the Scriptures.†What is righteous about your statement? Would you please explain? Also, I see your love to quote scripture. I know that it...

Just who are you to determine or judge someone’s belief or un-belief? And to do so without the backing of Scripture! What you have done by your words is instigated an inappropriate argument for your brother/sister; placing a stumbling block before them. No work of the Holy Spirit is done by...

[COLOR=#3e3e3e] I thought we both agreed on this belief above? I believe Man is powerless to choose salvation if salvation is not first offered to Man by God. Without Gods offer of Salvation, man cannot choose it. Where I believe we differ in opinion is, that once God offers Salvation, you...

I think what people get confused about in this debate upon Free Will is again, how we define Free Will and what that Free Will means under a sovereign God. We will never have Free Will exactly like God has because we are powerless in many areas to make our Will reality. Yet, similarly to God in...

The choices Paul had must be inferred as the Bible is not specific about it and Paul is not specific about what was going through his mind. Furthermore, I think you are inferring that Paul didn’t have a choice because the Bible doesn’t say that God made Paul do anything. God commanded Paul to do...

What do you mean; did Paul have free Will during the intervention? Again, as I understand Free Will: Free Will is the freedom from the power of God, granted by God, and so that humans can make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by Gods divine intervention or by divine force...

I more or less agree with your assessment Hawkins. Our Free Will is indeed limited to the choices that God has allowed for in our very existence. However, upon those choices we have total Free Will. With regard to things outside of the confines of our very existence, we have absolutely no say...

If by “what we do about it” you mean by the word “we”, God in us, then I have to fully and completely agree. However, I don’t’ believe we, individually, have a hope to tackle our sinful nature without the work of God in us; and what We (Christ and self) do about it, is very important.
