Yes,Brian,I think(and my opinion is ...Thanks Mike!<br /><br />Yes,Brian,I think(and my opinion is certainly fallible) that Jah uses people sometimes according to what he essentially finds in their hearts.Yes,he can override someone's free will most especially if he wants to use someone for some particular exceptional purpose.But I certainly don't think he haphazardly does it or that he does it at all times!He's a wise God..For instance,He knew Paul's heart inside and out and understood that this man was special and could be used for a great purpose with his experience etc.<br /><br />Either God is impartial or he isn't.Acc to scripture,he is.Acc to you he isn't.micheygirl66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16182929002057872230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213258633847494266.post-431948629358235272009-09-11T20:02:22.364-07:002009-09-11T20:02:22.364-07:00I enjoyed reading your conversation with Mike, 21c...I enjoyed reading your conversation with Mike, 21crosscheck21 and on this and his site. I fought ardently with myself for a long time before I abandoned my "dispensationalist / left behind" theology for reformed theology.

I got distracted by your answer the first time but the second time i noticed you said: "<br /><br />"Brian,why would an impartial loving awesome God restrain grace "<br /><br />I can see by your answer to the question the answer is no, so the question I was going to ask based upon the idea would be fruitless so let me ask another.<br /><br />Has God ever violated ones free will or are humans completely sovereign in their choices and actions?21CrosschecK21https://www.blogger.com/profile/15980096017128331245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213258633847494266.post-38911390906347638492009-09-07T18:43:45.123-07:002009-09-07T18:43:45.123-07:00Hey Katie,

I realize this is your blog, but I wanted to offer you a recommendation so that those who read your blog might be able to follow it a little better and not get lost in some of the details. <br /><br />Sometimes I like to take my longer posts and divide them up so that things are easier to digest. For instance, this recent post would be much easier to read in 3 or 4 parts. <br /><br />Just a recommendation :-)Mike Felkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974482615713418707noreply@blogger.com
