Mavis, please realize that you are right that a dead man spiritually can't choose, but God has to work in their hearts so that they CAN accept him! They do actually have to make the choice. So this really isn't as flawed as you are saying. I thought it was really well put together. I will certainly share this with friends. Thanks for posting, guys!

God is not begging anyone for a relationship! This is not the God of the bible , the God of the bible is Sovereign and He chooses whom He will save, we are not capable of making a decision, we are dead in trespasses and sins.A dead man cannot choose! This is a freewill gospel an abomination to God! This should not be endorsed. This is not the Gospel! God is not begging anyone for a relationship!

I agree mostly with Christina. However, free will is not "a myth created by man because he is uncomfortable with God’s sovereignty to save and damn whomever He pleases". The Bible makes it clear that man does have free will and we are not puppets. Think of Adam and Eve. They made the CHOICE to eat the fruit. Did God know what was going to happen? Yes. Did he have it all under control? Yes. Did he cause them to eat the fruit? No. This is just the first example. The Bible makes it clear that salvation requires a choice on part. We have free will. A trap that Calvinists can fall into is not realizing the validity of free will because we place so much emphasis on God's sovereignty I am a Calvinist so I also believe in the doctrines of predestination and election. A few verses to add: Eph. 1:3-14, Rom 8:29-30, 2 Thess. 2:13-14, 2 Tim. 1:9-10. Note that most of the verses of Christina's were in John and spoken by Jesus. If you consider the context it is clear he is not simply talking about Jews but all those who would gain salvation obviously including Gentiles. As to a person's relationship with God being shown by the fruits I agree completely. The fruits show that a person is one of God's sheep, elect, children, however you want to put it. You know that you are a Christian (and therefore one of the elect) if you can tell that God is working in you. Predestination/ Election seems harsh and unfair but consider that none deserve salvation so the fact that God gives salvation to some is truly wonderful. Also realize that its not like someone will want to be saved and believe but won't be able to. It is God that puts the desire there because a person is one of the elect. It seems that I just contradicted myself and the Bible contradicts itself. HOWEVER, this is an area where we have to realize that it is a MYSTERY. Somehow free will AND election are both completely true. We just have to realize that God's wisdom is infinitely greater than ours and believe what he says even if we simply cannot understand because we are humans. This is what I believe the Bible clearly lays down but, "Each one should be convinced in his own mind"(Rom. 14:5a). I am not going to pass judgement on someone because they do not have exactly my view, but I still am convinced that what I have laid out here is what the Bible teaches. Read Romans 14 for more clarification. This has helped me and I hope it helps anyone who may read it By the way, the video was excellent. In Christ, Phillip This is a great discussion.
