I must disagree. ImCo: Our sinful nature or enslavement to the addictive power of sin can only come through our own free will decision to sin, to rebel against GOD himself as a God or, for a believer in HIS deity, a rebellion against HIS command. To inherit another's sinfulness by GOD's will...

This must be true for eternal hell to have any meaning... IF we were created as eternal beings, eternally self and other aware spirits and IF we were all created with a free will and IF there is an unforgivable sin, a sin that puts the person outside of all grace and IF some of HIS creation...

I agree. But he did fail to keep his faith in YHWH after he saw that his loved one had given into (partly) the enemy's theological understanding of reality, over YHWH's definitions. Can we not say that Adam and Eve had a very different relationship with YHWH than the serpent had? The serpent...

...because if the judgement came upon all sinners before the fallen elect were fully sanctified, then they too would be wiped out, pulled up, against HIS promise of election. HE uses Satan's presence and sins to encourage us sinners who are not of Satan to repent. This is explained in the...

Satan's rebellion against YHWH's claims to be our GOD and saviour for all sin as the lies of a false god and the rebellion of some of those who accepted YHWH's claims to be our GOD and Saviour from all sin (thus becoming HIS elect) but who then rebelled against HIS call for the banishment of the...

this world was NOT GOD's perfect creation for man but a perfect prison for the fallen, Rev 12:4-9, both the reprobate demons who never put their faith in GOD as their Saviour for sin AND those who did put their faith in YHWH as their saviour for sin but who later sinned...these two groups are...

A will enslaved to depravity and a will predetermined by GOD to chose what HE wants no matter what the person wants is not a free will...

Please consider: If I am being coerced to decide something by another person then my decision to acquiesce to the coercion is indeed a true choice but since if I acquiesce to their will then it is not my will I follow but the other guys. Thus it cannot be said that I am following my own will...

By your definition you mean...certainly not by other definitions.

Wooah, biiig misunderstanding, huge! I did not make this claim to exonerate their sinfulness but to set up my thesis that such a free will decision must set our fates for eternity and sin by a true free will, ie not the fake free will of being enslaved to the addictive power of evil while...

Exactly ! ... unless of course * they chose to rebuke HIM as a liar before they saw any proof ie, by faith not proof, which is the unforgivable sin: that is, saved by faith not proof also means condemned by faith not proof. They can't be forgiven because - they made the decision to rebel...

Your line of logic fails here... everyone first sins willfully by a free will choice. No exception. "No excuse" is about after we have seen the proof of HIS divinity and eternal power as per Job 38:7...while the morning stars sang together and ALL the sons of God shouted for joy? Berean Standard...

My first premise: Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of...

Good morning, today the "post reply" buttons are missing and I see the notice "You have insufficient privileges to reply here." What is this all about? My note in the help desk returns the note, valid content is needed....

When I say that our lives are predetermined I believe that covers answering the phone tomorrow or not, therefore I agree with your rather sophisticated syllogism. When I contend for our free will, I suggest it was during the time before any sin had yet occurred and will occur again after the...

Mark 3:28–30: "Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin—for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."" This tells me there is a...

It is infallible due to HIS predestinating our lives for us to achieve HIS purpose for us while in our self chosen state of big fallen.

ImCo, consign is the wrong word as if it was arbitrary. The proper word is judgement. Those judged to have sinned the unforgivable sin are consigned to hell once their bad example is no longer necessary, Matt 13:27-30, while those who sinned only forgivable sins are consigned to heaven as HIS...

PCE theology suggests that HIS omniscience about our lives is due to HIS predestination of them to fulfill HIS promise of election or damnation after everyone made their free will uncoerced choices to accept HIM or to reject HIM. HIS predestination of our lives did NOT create our fates but only...
