We are created in God’s image, more than “flesh”.

And flesh and spirit and in the spirit, etc. etc. speak of our choices, our believing in Christ, our love, our response to God’s grace and love, which Jesus teaches us is perfect causing the rain to fall and the sun to shine on the just and unjust alike.

A far cry from Calvin’s doomed in the womb.

And, if you can’t see the scriptural references in my posts, so be it.

Proof texting is of little value and Calvinism, as I said, shows the extreme errors about God possible using sola scriptura.

You miss the forest for the trees. Jesus’s whole ministry refutes Calvin. Our everyday experience refutes “the illusion of free will.” No amount of proof texting can overcome that.

We are created in God’s image, more than “flesh”.

Adam and Eve were created in the image and likeness of God, that likeness was distorted by the fall ... men would now be born in the image of their father Adam, born a sinners that run away from God, and not to Him, no longer to live an innocent life but to be a slave to sin..

Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

That is why Christ told us we need to be born again..

Jhn 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
