will reassert itself in an aesthetic context devoid of supernaturalism, a context such that (the language now picks up echoes of van Buren) the vision of Jesus, the
free man,
free from authority,

free -
will response: that the prima facie plausibility of this contention is deceiving, that while it may seem easy to identify specific aspects of our present system that it appears could be profitably removed

will be much chaos and many hard cases to deal

Jesus - fully
human and fully god, why do you think God would humble himself and be
with his creation (total love), when sin entered the world we were seperated from God forever, God pure, and
humans tainted, the only way was for God to send Jesus to pay the price of sin, he took the sting out of death, and bridged the gap for
humans and heaven, there is no greater sacrifice, God loves all of us, I was an unbeliever, but came to the truth - read the book of John and make up your own mind - so many people taint Gods word, but the Holy bible is the truth and it

As time goes buy the kind defenders of
free will over their rejection to «dead» here and colossians 2:13 tend to resort to a familiar defense, that of labeling it a Calvinist viewpoint and that its almost a cultist view point to hold.Very sad yet very much the defense of many christians.Dead may i suggest is dead, the inability to respond, does not mean that prior to being saved one could not read scripture but because of this spiritual deadness its not profitabel / meaningful - we just can not continue to revise the meaning of dead to fit a view point - because natural man has not been born again this deadness (spiritually) shows itself as «none seek after God», in this condition they are» slaves to sin» and the spiritual things of God (the bible) is «folly / foolishness» even the gospel is judged by natural man as «folly / foolishness «(1 cor.1: 18) Please stop
with this weak / common defense called Calvinism - many believers are truly turned off by such a defense.We must not forget the man's «
free will» is what took the whole
human race down in the garden; i would hope we can rise above our love affair
with the
human will.
Griffin lists the similarities between Open
free will theists and process
free will theists as agreements that (a) the criteria for judging theological positions are broadly biblically based, rationally consistent, and consistent
with the best knowledge of the contemporary world, (b) God is the supreme power and is perfect in power, (c) God created our universe, (d) God is active in nature and
human history, (e) God is a personal, purposive being involving temporality and response to the world, (f) God is essentially love rather than power, and (g) there is salvation after death (10 - 14).
Within the traditional
free will framework, process theists contend, the primary responsibility is arguably God's, given the twofold fact that God's gift of freedom to
human beings is arbitrary and that,
with regard to any instance of moral evil, God could have prevented it.
My thesis which was based on my help
with studies on whether a
