Nobody has free will.
We are slaves to sin or slaves to God.
Nobody is a free and independent moral agent.

Not unless you and your friends want the never ending discussion. They are the ones that turned it into another Catholic bashing thread. On what started out as a Prot bashing thread.
Now THAT'S funny to hear that complaint.

I could give a rats patootie about your beliefs. Why the obsession with mine? Then why'd you post this thread and the many others like it?

The last of the 2014 batch of rose-petal wine? Just a thought.

That's a relief!
For a minute, I thought you might be talking about raising those stray underfoot wild things that 15-year-old boys used to go hunting together, each with a .22 in hand.

Now Elsie, that's not nice to tease all the flatlanders....

What’s the name of those mesas?
(At least they are mountain-like.)
To: Resettozero; Elsie
This is the
Paunsagunt Plateau which is also part of the Grand Staircase. The formation on the left is Sugar Knoll and the one on the right is Diana's Throne.
Sorry we have to live here but somebody's got to do it

Wow. Look how creative God can be while destroying all of mankind...minus the eight saved.
You guys have to put up with some pretty exotic views out there and in surrounding States. Thanks for carrying the load for us former Blue Ridge mountaineers turned SC piedmonters who now have to look out at our neighbors (ever-growing) pine trees. (Thanks for nothing, neighbors)

What's that in degrees? My place has a 10' difference across about 1/4 mile. Here 37% is read as 37 degrees.
That means I have aprox 10' drop over 30'-35'.

“Nobody has free will.
We are slaves to sin or slaves to God.

The dumbest statement I have ever read in my life and this coming from an EVANGELICAL who claims she knows her Bible. How “Calvinist” of you..........
Man is truly free and God calls him to freely choose to serve or not to serve the Lord. From the famous Old Testament charge of Joshua to “choose this day whom you will serve . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,” (Jo 24:15) to the very words of Jesus Christ himself, “If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink” (Jn 7:37), mans freedom to choose to obey or disobey the will of God for salvation is absolutely central to the teachings of Sacred Scripture.

Nor is there a perfect Christian. All Christiand should strive for perfection...

Mary was not asked. She was told how it was going to be. And all this time I thought that God granted us a free will....live and learn...

That's just it, "you're" not. That's WHY it is called arrogance and condescending superiority. And I wouldn't call it "fun", I'd call it hilarious, as in FUNNY! Thanks...I try harder!!

"All Christians should strive for perfection..."
The fact that no person can be perfect is why everyone needs a Savior - and just as importantly, why everyone needs the new life of Christ, instead of the proud Adamic life we are born with.
Sanctification and good works are an expression of the life of Christ inside the believer as fruit is born - not a striving for perfection, which is exactly what the pride of the Adamic self-life desires.
Best.

some laws count and some don't?????? Who gets to choose?? Apparently Catholics who choose to ignore the words of Jesus Himself when He says to call no man on earth *father*.
Or taught us to pray saying *Our FATHER.*
Handled any snakes lately? Spoken in tongues?
Gouged out any eyes or cut off any hands?
Jesus said we're to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect. That's one of His commands, too.
How's doing that one working out for you?

I think it's right before the verse that says take and eat of this"THIS IS MY BODY" .or near it at least...How come some things apply and some do not??...When He said call no man father did He mean His daddy Joseph....when He said take and drink of this, "THIS IS MY BLOOD" was He just kidding???
I think that's a much more meaningful statement than call no man father....
