I Believe In Free Will

[Rey Reynoso]

For the sake of this discussion, I believe in complete free will. Luther was wrong. Edwards is wrong. They deny reality with philosophical constructs. Romans 9 is misinterpreted. John 6 is taken out of context. Ephesians 2 has nothing to do with it.

What say you?

Feel free to attack.

It's like we come into this life with a glass full of straws and pull out some or add some depending on what are choices are. It's like bad decisions narrow your options for future good decisions and good decisions open the door for FUTURE good decisions.
How do we know if a decision is right or not?
I can remember asking God to lead me what was right a long time ago.
"I can't think of a better way of praying for direction from God" I was told.

I think this is a really important thing to try to get our children to understand when they are young. We have the freedom to make our own choices but we are also accountable for what we do.

We live in a society that makes it so easy to play the "blame game" as we walk with life and there's always people to run to to find favor on our side but there's no running from the truth.

Most people are negative about God. Negative about His Grace. It's just a fact that born again Christians are the smartest people on the planet but not always all that popular or wanted around.

But it isn't all about people anyway - it's about looking outside of ourselves for answers to be found.

We've got to be thankful for our soilders overseas who are fighting for our freedom in this country. I'd hate to see the United States lose what we've got because we're the most grace oriented country around.

The more grace oriented a country or person is - the more freedom is given.

We'll only become slaves when the grace goes away.
