I don’t really feel like I had any courage when I became a Christian, I just gave in. I wasn’t courageous; I didn’t have any choice. I kept trying to not believe but I just couldn’t avoid [accepting Christ]. If I could have avoided it, I would have.

Sounds like her "free will" was violated.

Thanks for posting this. I praise the Lord for violating my “free will.” Oh what grace!

Compare her to Steven Hawking. Brilliant mind. Understands the workings of the universe more than most people. Admits that some “force” or “higher consciousness” had to create this. He has the wonders of the universe at his finger tips and refuses to acknowledge there is a God.

Nah. She eventually came to understand that that there is a certain inevitability. I for one, don't like inevitability and the resignation that one is powerless to stop it. I think that is what she is lamenting here, was that she was no longer able to resist the inevitable.

After dating Antony Weiner, and other godless filth, she has turned here life to god. Now we shall see how long she remains a democRAT.

Isn't it cool being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world and not have a say about grace!

Look, I could repeat word for word that last paragraph as my own personal testimony. God persuaded me to become a Christian and He persuaded me very strongly. I can say with Miss Powers: “He pursued me.”

And thank God through Christ for that.
