You consistantly ignore the choice issue....which mankind has had from the beginning. As well the scripture references I have given. It’s like a see-saw ride trying to discuss this issue with you.

Further you do not comment on my replys to your posts, rather you re-post your own post and ignore what I’ve stated. Or reframe what you’ve already stated commenting on your own statements.

The question is... is it worth it to continue?...not when the dialogue is repeating itself.

Therefore I will agree we won’t be seeing this issue on the same or similiar page in order to dialogue, and just leave it at that.

I haven't ignored the choice issue. I stated that man, in his unsaved state cannot make a choice for God. Way back somewhere you gave a beautiful testimony to the fact that God saved you and it was all His doing. And now you launch on some campaign to say that you had a choice. Well, it was either His doing or you made a decision-one or the other.

Further you do not comment on my replys to your posts, rather you re-post your own post and ignore what I’ve stated.

If I have missed a post then I'm sorry. My time is limited and I read quickly. However, if you are refering to the post that stated free will can be had with incomplete knowledge or wisdom, I did answer that question and believe I added you to the list.

No, free will cannot be had with incomplete knowledge or wisdom. If there is any bias in the decisionmaking process, then the choice is no longer free. Something is tainting it. You can't choose to live for God if you don't clearly understand that Christ died for your sins. For free choice to actually exist, a person must be able to know what are the consequences of the decision and have the wisdom to make the decision they would be willing to live with.
