That seems a logical conclusion as a result of an organized and logical thought process guided by your criteria/basis.

Would you say that your conclusion concerning free will guides or determines your actions? Likely not all of your actions but some actions in whole or in part?

“Would you say that your conclusion concerning free will guides or determines your actions?”


Which actions? My “conclusion” was indeed a conclusion, not something I began with and therefore read into the scripture. If you mean “moral actions,” perhaps, then the doctrine of grace impressed upon me with greater urgency then before the need to ‘shrew my faith by my works,’ as this is the purpose of salvation to begin with. Not as a condition to salvation, but as the purpose of your life and eternity given to you by God. It impressed upon me the fact that nothing I have is my own, but is rather given to me so that I may produce fruit, and that my fruit should abide eternally.

Joh_15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
