However, the second father puts his children down and again gives them their freedom always keeping a watchful eye on them. If they wander to close to the highway again, he will again rescue them and discipline them this time and again give them their freedom to obey.
It is unfortunate there is a doctrine infecting Christianity that says the father will choose only one of the children to save, never allowing the child free will again and lets the other children get ran over. What kind of Father is that?
Yes, if we look at "children" in that light it can be said the doctrine that infects Christianity professes a father who runs out snatches up his children, takes them back home locking them in their rooms for the remainder of their life, denying them free will in order to keep them safe.
Why is it that some describe the attributes of Satan, and liken it to, the one true God, the father of the lord Jesus Christ.
Wow as if he stopped Moses from killing the Egyptians.
He must have forgot and Stephen as they stoned him to death.
Maybe he forgot as he choose Judas as part of the original twelve.
Why did he not stop the Israeli's from complaining and having to die off in the desert, I mean why didn't he.
What kind of God would send an angel to a young virgin and says:
Luke 1:26 � And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin�s name was Mary.
1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
1:29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
!:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
1:33and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Surely he forgot this Virgin could not do anything spiritual, let alone give birth to the son of God.
Maybe it was just like Jesus said in the parable of the sower as she heard the word of God and believed and said let it be done unto me according to the word, she became pregnant the seed of God's word brought forth the lord Jesus.
Do you know regardless of what is written some will still say the holy spirit did it. The bible pattern is the holy spirit brings the word of God to past.
Of course but what did Mary say. The seed is the word of God and the word of God to Mary was:
Luke 1:26 � And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin�s name was Mary.
1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
1:29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
!:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
1:33and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
The word of faith was spoken verse 28 thru 32, She asked how this should be and the angel answered her and she said let it be according to thy word. Mary's FAITH TALKING
This is exactly what Jesus taught in the parable of the sower.
Two spiritual laws are involved here:
The same as how man is born again:
1st 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
The seed is in the heart of man and the faith, illumination comes and then the holy spirit will create a new spirit within man.
Mr 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Jer 1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
It is JUST getting ridiculous on CDFF with the CONSTANT CRY of:
FREE WILL! FREE WILL!
People have made a IDOL out of their SUPPOSED freewill.
I for one, am NOW ASKING FOR SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS WE HAVE FREE WILL.
And in case the usual Arminian song and dance of giving us verses that have the word "if" in them and "whosoever", I will remind you at the start that those words do NOT mean you have free will.
I am from Missouri, so SHOW ME where you have free will.
SHOW ME where it says fallen mankind has the ABILITY to repent and choose Jesus.
1. YOU have been shown verses OVER AND OVER that say that fallen mankind does NOT have the ability.
2. YOU have been shown verses OVER AND OVER that say that mankinds WILL IS ENSLAVED TO SIN.
3. YOU have been shown OVER AND OVER that Jesus said that NO ONE CAN COME TO HIM UNLESS...
We get it that you just LOOOOOOOVE your supposed free will.
