There be no trying. Either you be or you not be. Sometimes things seem to be but that can be deceiving. Ok ....... Sheesh .... it's like your stealing my material.
Ok .... maybe not. Were is that repentence thingy for not being? The best is yet to be, it'll be when we see him face to face. |

Discernment and biblical logic are something we all need. But where do we turn for this logic? Isn't logic the domain of scholars and philosophers? John Locke condemns this common misconception: “God has not been so sparing to men to make them barely two-legged creatures and left it to Aristotle to make them rational.” In other words, Locke recognized that logic existed, and people reasoned and used the critical faculties of their minds before any philosopher came along to teach about it. God created logic and reasoning as he created man, and he created it for man, so, we should find it reasonable that God’s Word has something to say—if not a lot to say—about logic, rationality, and good judgment. “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” —Genesis 1:31 I think of All That’s Good as a vision of what our lives might look like were we to be changed by wisdom—if we were to become people who know the difference between what’s bad and what’s good, what’s good and what’s better. That's the kind of Discernment and Biblical Logic I'm talking about. He recently tried it on the other forum and I tuned in to listen to a question and it was avoided like the plague. The caller asked a question about 1 Tim 4:10 and he talked about everything else except the passage and went of on the meaning of world in another passage. The question was a bout the all people and of course it was dodged. Trying to keep it on topic, exegeting the passage, answering the direct question and not being condensating towards the questioner seems to be the exception and not the rule over there. I always say mud flows downhill from the top. And the thing with him on his platform is he makes the rules. There would need to be a neutral environment for such a discussion. 1 Tim 4:10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. Here's some logic for you. Since God created all people It would make sense that he would make a way for all people to be saved. Jesus is that way, One just needs to believe. I can't believe that a loving God would prevent some people from not being able to believe In Jesus. He gave us free will in the garden And he tells In his word that we are able to choose who we're going to serve. |

And having the freedom to choose God or reject Him like adam is part of the image of God in man. Love requires the freedom of choosing to love in return without coercion or force. |

At best, the command only implies the ability to choose. |

At best, the command only implies the ability to choose. Actually it does otherwise all the commands are nonsense. Do your children have the ability to obey and do their chores ? Do they have the ability to show respect ? To treat others nice ? To do their homework ? To do what they are told with restriction for a day ? |

But here’s the key thing to remember. God gives what he commands. In the old covenant, God commanded the nation of Israel to circumcise their own hearts. Deuteronomy 10:16 In the new covenant, God promises to do that himself.
And when we are obedient He gives us the power to obey His command Acts 1:8. He gives us Himself, and in the giving of Himself He gives us all that we need to obey Him. The power we know we need to accomplish His will can be ours if we obey His Word. As we yield ourselves to Him He will fulfill His will in and through us.
For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13

I see we are being hacked by trolls. Its not hard to figure it out since we can see their IP- cough cough . And I know what state and city they live in so its way to much of a coincidence.
I'm over the grown men who act like 2 year olds throwing temper tantrums online. If you cannot act like an adult and treat people with dignity and respect then go to another forum ( or your own ) where you can behave that way.

Yes the philosopher had some great “ stuff “ to say with his lesson in logic |
