. If from God we can't lose it but the evil can be replaced. We belong to one or the other. No fence sitting, you know :')

Why can you not "choose" to lose" the Holy Spirit? You do have free will.

We don't have that much free will.

Psalm 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

I tried to relate this yesterday (?) with the bond servant story. God chooses to offer this gift to ALL his children. Some accept, some don't. Does he know what we are going to choose? Of course, if he wants to. After we choose to accept Christ it's for keeps though. I'll even bend as far as agreeing with yall that this "free will" issue over at this point. He shows that he still allow us the free will to "back slide" at xs though but will eventually check us and pull us back don't you think?
