The God of Arminianism Cannot Be GOOD! Gordon H. Clark

Only the "born again" Christian has this freewill thanks to God's grace. The born again Christian is free to struggle with and overcome the sin in his life with the help of God, the "natural man" without God does not even see his slavery to sin and death.

[rbmath]

if man has "free will" than using his free will alone he should be able to free himself from being a slave to sin, to free himself from his sinful nature, which is the only nature that he follows.

@rbmath every part of man has been efffected by the fall, including his will

[WCOFTheology]

@DIVINESOTERIOLOGY Yes, but you believe the will is still free enough to choose God

[DIVINESOTERIOLOGY]

@WCOFTheology That is not entirely true. Free will can only choose God when God draws, apart from the drawing of God man cannot come to God.

[DIVINESOTERIOLOGY]

Free will cannot frustrate the will of God, because it was His will that we have choice, however limited it may be. Also which will are you speaking of, His ultimate will, or immediate will? His immediate will is to allow evil, for a time to manifest His nature (righteous, justice, mercy, etc.). His ultimate will manifests His majesty, and power etc. Ultimately evil will be overcome...

@DIVINESOTERIOLOGY What happened to your video response? I went to watch it and it was gone.

[DIVINESOTERIOLOGY]

@WCOFTheology Sorry, it was a 5 min video but the video posted as a 10 min video. 5 mins were just blank (really weird). I fixed the problem, and reposted it again.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Ps 90:4; 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2nd Peter 3
