Re: Sovereignty vs Free Will
If God regrets having made man when He foreknew the outcome and had a plan all along then what's up with this "regret" stuff? Is God schizo? (My answer, of course, is "NO!!!!") You make an interesting point, however if God did not foreknow this, then why: Was Jesus "the lam...

Re: Sovereignty vs Free Will
Thanks Ironman, You gave a very powerful verse of Scripture. Gen 22:12, "And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. For Bible believers it is very simple - ju...

Re: Sovereignty vs Free Will
Hi Grandfather. You wrote; "I don't believe we ever lose our "freewill" and the prime reason I believe that is because LOVE is a choice. Force, coerced love is not love, at best it is whoredom if even that. So, as I said in my closing sentences... "because God knows the end from...

Re: Sovereignty vs Free Will
One of the key issues in the discussion of Freewill and the Sovereignty of God comes at the point of a decision to make Jesus Christ the Lord of our life. I believe the Bible makes it clear that none of us "found" Him due to our own efforts, but we were found by Him (John 15). Yet we were...

Re: Sovereignty vs Free Will
God's and man's sovereignty can clearly be seen in the story of Joseph and his brothers. His brothers made sovereign decisions and decided to sell Joseph and tell his father he was dead. Joseph made sovereign decisions to follow what he was taught and acted accordingly. Each event of Joseph's life ...

Re: Sovereignty vs Free Will
There would be no need to reconcile the two (God's sovereignty and free-will) if so many of the church had never been influenced by the unbiblical distortion of God's sovereignty handed down to us by Augustine, Luther, and Calvin with its originas in gnosticism. Their view of God's character in thi...

Re: Sovereignty vs Free Will
Er.... God is sovereign no question about that. We are sovereign in our own lives, we prove that everyday by what we do and say, if anyone says otherwise they are lying. The problem we have is making God sovereign of our lives through Jesus our Lord. To do with the whole mind and soul and spirit an...

Sovereignty vs Free Will
Please explain to me the balance that you make between God being sovereign and Mankind having a Free Will. I won't supply the scripture references, but there are enough to recognize that if God is not sovereign then He is not God Yet, at the same time, there are equally as many references where scri...
