    And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God

    Actually, I hinted at that aspect of foreknowledge citing Romans 11:2.

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    Its in the OP. 3. The Contingent (Titus 2:11; Romans 2:6-7) Titus 2:11: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.” Romans 2:6-7: “God ‘will repay each person according to what they have done.’ To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and...

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    We are done. I'll not answer endlessly answer the same questions. If you can't take the time to read my answers, I'll cease answering. There is no point to continuing, its not a discussion. Monologue away, be my guest.

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    Watch it and review my explanation in Post #449 Are you suggesting that the Sovereign God and Lord Jesus Christ chose to elect Alfred Persson to salvation before the foundations of the world because He knew you would love Him? I am suggesting God knew this fallen world would prevent me from...

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    Can't you watch the video a couple of times? Is that too much to ask?

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    As I said, you make no effort to understand what I believe. I have explained my belief about free will, often and repeatedly. As you won't try to understand my belief, there is little profit in repeating the explanation.

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    As I said, you do not understand what I believe. When you read my explanation you try to put it in a context of what you already know. This is new. What I said isn't said by others. It resolves the paradox of predestination and free will. No one has done that before. So until you stop...

    The Gathering Storm: A Revelation of the Rapture

    The Gathering Storm: A Revelation of the Rapture The congregation sat in solemn anticipation, their hearts suspended on the promise Paul penned long ago. "I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep," he wrote (1 Thess. 4:13). These words rang like a...

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    Proving you haven't understood my position, you ask: Are you suggesting that the Sovereign God and Lord Jesus Christ chose to elect Alfred Persson to salvation before the foundations of the world because He knew you would love Him? I am suggesting God knew this fallen world would prevent me...

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    You spend zero effort at understanding what I say. I explained my view in detail. There is little point in addressing arguments that aren't relevant to my position: https://christianforums.net/threads/and-we-know-that-all-things-work-together-for-good-to-those-who-love-god.110361/

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    Its an inference. When did they love God? Before God caused all things to work together for their good, or before the foundation of the world.

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Rom. 8:28 NKJ)

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    I agree with the Eastern Orthodox, ancestral sin is different than original sin. Humanity inherits the consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin, not the guilt or personal responsibility for it. According to Eastern Orthodox teaching, Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden brought...

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    Yes, of course. Read them for yourself: The command to choose God implies free will exists to choose, otherwise its a fraud: 1. Deuteronomy 30:19 2. Joshua 24:15 3. Isaiah 1:18-20 4. Ezekiel 18:30-32 5. John 7:17 6. Romans 2:14-15 7. Acts 17:27-28 8. Revelation 3:20 Therefore, two...

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    I did what was appropriate, in perfect response to your non treatment of the texts I cited. You gave a blanket rejection, so I responded with same. Here, try again. Answer my argument, don't dismiss it out of hand with prattle: Several Scriptures contradict the premise your definition relies...

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    I gave two options, the first included supernatural help. In both free will to choose exists, otherwise all those verses are a fraud. A command to choose when choice is impossible. Therefore, your (Calvin's) definition of free will is UNSCRIPTURAL.
  20. Alfred Persson

    Does man have free will to choose salvation?

    That definition is predicated upon "total depravity", that due to inherent sinfulness, humans lack the capacity to choose God. However, several Scriptures contradict the premise. The command to choose God implies free will exists to choose, otherwise its a fraud: 1. Deuteronomy 30:19 2...
