Jer. 10:23, “O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”
This does NOT prove that "Man would NEVER will himself to love God" (Athena1's weeping generalization).
“This does NOT prove that “Man would NEVER will himself to love God”
Obviously it does not since the quote is from scripture and as everyone knows, that is not reliable since it is only God’s word and not the “church’s”.
By the way, where does the church derrive its warrant if not from the scripture? If it is from God through “oral tradition”, liturgy, hermits and monks, since that was passed from one ear to another, isn’t it just as unreliable as the written word copied by scribes?
