Author	Thread: Free from What?
Admin	Free from What? Posted : 15 Nov, 2010 07:53 PM Christians often speak of �free will�. And even when it is not spoken, it is many times assumed. However, what is rarely stated and almost never understood is, from what exactly is the will free? ■Is the human will free from God, His infinite power, His eternal plan, His sovereign will? ■Is the human will free from sin, the effects of sin, the temptation to sin, the corruption from sin? ■Is the human will free from satan, demons and evil? ■Is the human will free from human nature, its fallen state, its weakness, its inclinations? ■Is the human will free from the laws of nature, the rules of reality, the tyranny of time? ■Is the human will free from genealogies, genetics, or gender? ■Is the human will free from its environment, its circumstances, its experiences? ■Is the human will free from coercion, persuasion or influence? ■Is the human will free from error, or illness, or impairment? You who say, �The will is free�. Tell me please, free from what? Post Reply

View Profile History	Free from What? Posted : 16 Nov, 2010 12:06 PM Yes, that is what I was eluding to in my first post : It is just as much, if not more about what we have been freed to do than what we have been freed from. As a freed slave, sure you would be thankful for what you had been freed from. But I would think your primary interest would be ' what am I going to do with this freedom, what can I to, what am I capable of doing through Christ who strengthens me. Jesus what should we be doing. On a side tangent : Although our freedom has been purchased from one master we are now the slaves of a new Master. Yeah I am wandering around babbling again ...lol Post Reply

View Profile History	Free from What? Posted : 16 Nov, 2010 03:53 PM If you are on the new birth side of life, the will of man is part of the man's soul and the soul is no different after the new birth than before the new birth, the word of God tells us if we receive the engrafted word it is able to save our soul, or restore or renew, that the believer might prove what the will of God is.
