Beloved 57 , Rom.9:16 pretty much sums it all up , its not of him that willeth , paul , our example on the damascus road did he have free will or was it all God's mercy and grace ? he was in unbelief. i have asked this question numerous times but no one has an answer , if it don't fit the freewill line of thinking they avoid it , thats not the way to study God's Word , all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine. thanks for your posts i always learn something on these forums .
Grace to me
