“”That does not say that man born of Adam has a free will that he can exercise in seeking after God or with which to choose to believe the Gospel at all.””

Good grief,MLS,What do you think the Scriptures are referring to in Sirach 15: 14-20 ? They are speaking about mankind.

Here it is again...
“14 God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his OWN counsel. 15 He added his commandments and precepts. 16 If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform acceptable fidelity for ever, they shall preserve thee. 17 He hath set water and fire before thee: stretch forth thy hand to which thou wilt. 18 Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall CHOOSE shall be given him: 19 For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing. 20 The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth all the work of man.

MLS, are you one of those people who think that Eve had sex with satan and bore Cain? You Know, The arnold murray Shepherd Chapel followers.

Is so. that would explain your thinking

Good Night! Really, this time for sure.

My Bible doesn’t have Sirach 15. Is that OT or NT?

Sirach 15: 14-20

That is not Scripture.

Try the real Scriptures that I provided you for once, and leave the deuterocanonicals and Artotelian philosophy alone.

By the way, Jerome as did the early church rejected the deuterocanonicals as inspired Scripture too.
