Nice tagline..... (I must answer all bible questions.)

I'm so glad to meet someone that can answer all of the questions I have on what the Bible says. I've read where we have free will but I understand that to mean that we choose to accept or deny Christ. If you choose to deny Him, you choose sin and death.If you choose to follow Him, you choose to submit to His authority and life eternal. Do you believe this?

Where in the Bible does it say that we can place our will above His? Where does it say we can choose our beginning or our end?

Why keep me from going where I want to go

Why don't you seek God's will for your life instead of telling Him what your will is?

Good point! I know that whenever I tell God about my plans for my life, He's usually quite humored at my stupidity! And then He reminds me who's the boss! After I learn to laugh at myself, then I usually acquiesce to His decisions. And if I'm too stubborn, He throws me off my high horse!

No I don't believe this. I believe that John 6:44: No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and John 6:65 Romans 9, and a lot of other verses show that being born again is not of human free will just like being born in the first place.

Where in the Bible does it say that we can place our will above His? Where does it say we can choose our beginning or our end?

I'm not sure I follow this question. The bible says that not one sparrow falls to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father. It says God knows all of our days before there are any of them. If it is within your power to end your life and you do so, do you think that comes to a big surprise to God?

PS. I never said I know everything about the bible but I take questions about it very seriously and will do my best to give my feeling on the topic.
