Does man have free will to choose salvation?

[Bruce.Leiter]

God forces you to be saved against your will???

And even worse God forces you to be lost even if you comply with His requirements for salvation and Love Him???

Are you sure it doesn’t simply means God has foreknowledge?

Or God wills that all men repent and be saved, is grace irresistible?

Thks

First question: No, God gives us the new birth and faith to want to be saved and choose God.
Second, God doesn't force us to be lost; we chose that condition into which we were conceived (Psalm 51) and born (Ephesians 2:1-3) with Adam.
Third, foreknowledge is based on the word "know," which, in the Bible, means to have a personal, loving relationship between persons, as in God "fore-loving" believers before creation (Romans 8:29-30; Ephesians 1:3-14).
Fourth, can you really imagine anyone's ability to resist the all-powerful God's love and grace from being given to us, when he has resolved to do so? (Ephesians 2:4-9)

So he already had Faith. One in order to hear and believe the Gospel must already have faith given them in regeneration.

I can now see this is a doctrinally based disagreement I am in with you , I am not going any further with it . We can talk again later brother .

Does regeneration come before faith?
