Also you can only choose that which your nature is capable of choosing. <BR/><BR/>Let me illustrate: I frequently go to fast food restaurants and ask for something that they do not sell, asking for Tacos at KFC. I get strange looks, and am told nicely that they don't sell Tacos.<BR/><BR/>It is similar with human nature. We can only choose what is on the human nature menu, but we are free to choose anything on that menu.<BR/><BR/>John 3:16 states that <I>whoever believes in Him,</I> can be saved. The issue is that natural man cannot believe as it is not on his menu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11738269.post-2047757545680930002007-09-10T16:09:00.000-05:002007-09-10T16:09:00.000-05:00Justin says...I like to put it in algebraic terms:...Justin says...<BR/><BR/>I like to put it in algebraic terms:<BR/><BR/>If God perfectly knows that I will do X instead of Y before I do X, is there any possibility in my disrupting God's perfect knowledge? If no, then how am I equally free to choose Y instead of X?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
