answer this for me........tell me 1 single sin....that God directed your heart to commit against Him...?FSSL said:Bo said:God does give them new life!!! I agree with you!!! I really do.FSSL said:We are talking about a spiritually dead person, not a homeless man cleaning himself up.
Spiritually dead people cannot and do not accept the things of God unless God miraculously gives them new life. It is only then that man can, and most certainly will repent.
But....
The word "but" undermines your point. All throughout this discussion you ignore Scripture in favor of your own understanding and analogies.
You dismiss the idea that God actually directs the heart of the king. You prefer to think of man's condition as a homeless man rather than actually spiritually dead.
No one seeks God (Ro 3). Why not? Spiritually dead people have no desire to seek God.
if you believe that...then do you believe that we have the Holy spirit with us on earth now? and that the holy spirit convicts us and talks to our hearts to do one way or the other? and that when we sin we resist against the holy spirit?
or does the holy spirit tell us to do what little good we do and also tells us to do the bad that we do?
satan doesn't put his demons against us to tempt us into doing evil? into committing sin?
the holy spirit leads us to sin?
that sounds a lot like blasphemy of the holy spirit to me! might wanna pray to God to open your heart and mind that you might understand the scriptures....and then read your bible one more time brother
