freewill

    Do we have freewill ? is it biblical ?

    We start from the beggining when Adam was giving the power to name the animals G-d gave him freewill to choose Genesis 2:20. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. Here G-d...

    ...and now for something completely different: Free Will!

    I am told by many persons that if their god were to stop someone from acting on their desire to hurt another, that said god would be interfering with the free will of the perpetrator. Protecting the free will of the victim is never presented as a priority. Even in cases of sexual assault. I...

    On Calvinism and Freedom

    Freewill is the inability of a human to know what will happen to him tomorrow fully. The Freewill of people, God, and angels causes the inability to predict the world in 2023 AD solely by data of 2022. The inability to predict the outcome of quantum experiments is well demonstrated in...

    What is today?

    DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. NO DISBELIEVER HAS SUFFEFED A MENTAL TRAUMA BECAUSE OF ME. There is no notion of today or now in Theory or Albert Einstein. But we feel our body neither tomorrow nor yesterday, but right now. Hence, the God is Today. Life is Today. Freewill is...

    UFO theory

    IN JUNE 2021 THE STATE WILL RELEASE UFO FILES. The very idea of Science can become destroyed by UFOs, because: 1. Science is defined by its methodology. 2. There is methodological naturalism. 3. Thus, Science is not interested in super-natural, in UFOlogy. 4. But times are changing: "Pentagon...

    Calvinists only: How do you interpret these passages?

    For many months, maybe a year, I've been studying debates for and against Calvinism. While passages such as Romans 9 are argued to support Calvinism, I'd like to hear your view on at least one of the passages challenging Calvinism. (Quotations are from the New King James Version.) Luke 8:4-15...

    Passages challenging Calvinism

    Hello, all! For many months, maybe a year, I've been studying debates for and against Calvinism. While passages such as Romans 9 are claimed by Calvinists to support their position, I'd like to hear your view on at least one of the passages challenging Calvinism. (Quotations are from the New...

    Can Calvinism survive Romans 9‽

    Romans 8:28-9:33 is often considered the strongest text of Calvinism, the view that God chooses some for salvation without free will being a factor. Basically, it's the view that no one can choose to follow God unless He predestines you to change. Near the end of the passage, Paul writes, "Does...

    Freewill Revisited

    I think we can choose to do things but I also believe we are not free to do what we want. Does that make sense? So I've been a mess intellectually. All over the map. Normal reading has led me to meditation. Simple stuff. Stop for 5 minutes and focus on your breath... when you find yourself...
