“We can only choose”
There you go again...
Jonah did what God bid him to do, but he still ran from God. He remained vengeful toward the Ninevites and was was still wanting the Lord to destroy them. The last we heard of Jonah, he said “I do well to be angry, even unto death.” Until the very end, he does not follow God’s command to love the alien as himself.
“We are not FREE. Scripture makes it clear we are either slaves to sin or slaves to God.
You are correct we are slaves to sin until WE ACCEPT Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior then we become slaves to the Living God. Maybe you have forgotten that thou shalt confess...
Romans 10:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
