Above you said: "Choosing" to sin is not an option for the reborn."Hill Top wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 1:18 pmThere is a big difference between "can" and "will" choose something.luchnia wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 6:17 amYou believed that once a man is born again he no longer can choose to reject God, which means that God is in control of man's will and man is no longer in control of his choice to believe. That contradicts much of what you are posting in this thread about the will of man.Hill Top wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 1:40 pmYou'll need to remind me of what "view" I have changed.luchnia wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 6:59 amInteresting change in your view about the will of man. It is rare that people are open to change their views about their doctrines. If we are to be mature and grow in Christ we must all realize there might be more to what God has given us in His word than how we perceive a matter.Hill Top wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 9:25 pm
Not an exact quote, but I do have scripture saying that God allows us to freely make our own decisions...
"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." (Rev 21:6)
If He wanted to control us, He would force us to "take of the fountain of the water of life".
It is up tp us.
For anyone reborn of God's seed, the ability to bring forth the fruit of the devil is an impossibility.
"Choosing" to sin is not an option for the reborn.
Just as "flying" is not an option for an alligator.
The choices we make indicate from whence we are born.
Does God take the power of choice from the person who is reborn?
I mean does the reborn lose the power of choice as the new birth?
