We are free to choose. We are not robots. We are not free from the consequences of our choices. We have will; it is the impetus of our choices. Whether that impetus is based in slavery to our flesh or our feeble attempts to do what is right, we still have will. The law is written in our hearts. On occasion we are motivated by our conscience to attempt what is right. Lacking power through the Holy Spirit (unless & until we are born again) we fail. We repeat this process until we do one of the following: ignore our conscience, invent useless salves (religion) to assuage our guilt, or wisely flee to Jesus. It is God that draws us to Jesus. However, we still have choice and will.
What separates Roman Catholics and Protestants is justification. In order for God to declare a ungodly sinner just,he demand’s perfect righteousness . Both sides agree on this .now where it separates is on this . How do we get that righteousness . Rom Cath teaches an individual must have his own righteousness apart from Christs righteousness that pleases God . Prot teaches that man has no righteousness and is completely dependent on Christs righteousness alone .
Is grace required for the sinners salvation or just an aid to the sinner in his decision to come out of the dark and into the light? The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8, ESV)
The wind blows everywhere. There’s not a single place on earth where the wind does not blow and there’s not a single person where the Holy Spirit doesn’t influence.
@@dallasjohnson7623 Failed? Huh? I never said the Holy Spirit tries to regenerate everyone. I said He INFLUENCES everyone. Scripture is crystal clear only those who BELIEVE are regenerated. Not quite sure where you’re getting this whole failure argument from.

10.30mins: @ Eden, Adam did not have the ability to be holy & righteous & and perfect. The very fact that they coveted the fruit (Gen3:6) from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil, shows that they had the full ability to do wrong @ Eden itself. They were righteous @ Eden because the Tree of Life (Jesus) was their righteousness (just as it is today for the born-again).
every human is born prone to sin and under neath its yoke with as little as 1 sin on their account, freedom could only exist if humanity were to be ransomed from underneath its power and universal effect. "The Son of man came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many".. A ransom paid for sin and by faith in this offering on the cross humanity is delivered by grace by the Creator. All thats left to do is grow towards Gods will. Some will reach a high calling of absolute devoted service and others will simply be sanctified quietly from a standing point of grace, completion by way of Gods work on the cross. On a philosophical standpoint, its perfect... Would God being perfect represent a perfect philosophy to follow?
❤When resurrection, parting the Red Sea, splitting the moon, a book & other made-up stuff are used to fool & indoctrinate the gullible emotional folks to believe an imaginary God & his prophet/son/saviour are sacred, the dogma causes motivated ignorance while defending the sacredness.❤
@@iacoponefurio1915 Don't get confused. I'm only trying to un-indoctrinate them from the religious bs, but it's not easy because *"It's Easier to Fool People Than to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled".*
Have faith in Messiah Yahusha and keep the Commandments of our Heavenly Father. That’s how we know we are in Him. Matthew 5:17-19, Matthew 7:21-27, John 13:15-17, 1 John 2:3-7.
