Still More On Free Will
Q. Does mankind have true free will to make a conscious choice to become a born again Christian, to believe In Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, and that Christ came to this world and suffered and died on the cross to save us from our sins and to seek salvation? Or, does God solely choose the elect via His grace to be saved?
A. Just as the most important word in the Old Testament was “obey”, the most important word in the New Testament is “believe”. People are promised that they will not perish if they believe (John 1:12-13, John 3:16, John 5:24, John 6:28-29, John 6:40) and that they will perish if they refuse to believe (John 3:18, 2 Thes 2:10).
God wants everyone to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3-4), He doesn’t want for any to perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Therefore if it was up to Him we would all be saved. The fact that we are not all saved means God has given man the choice to believe or not.

Hi Friends,
It is NOT my intention to promote, sell, or advertise for this company/ web site, but to just show and demonstrate to all readers and fellow true Americans what our WH and Gov't is up to right now. The more we know --- the better off we will be, and the more we can Prep ourselves for the lies, deceit, tricks that destroy our culture and country !! So please pay attention and share this, discretely. Thanks !
Actually, I just read this news myself and was somewhat surprised about the 'gold feature.' And then we also hear about the Gov't not wanting us to plant gardens or even GIVE AWAY SOME OF THE VEGGIES/ PRODUCE TO OTHERS ! How can any real American who has an I.Q. above 70 NOT realize that this crap is just plain devilish and wicked ? Many years ago in college, a dream come true for me, one of my Print Reading for Welders Instructors told the class in Kenosha, WI., Gateway Tech., that the "more we knew -- the better off we would be,' when looking for a job in the real world, when good jobs were scarce and hard to find, in the early 1990's. In times of war, it's the same thing: when one group of soldiers are better trained, with better weapons, that side has the advantage. That WAS the USA, BUT NOW DAYS, the Gov't/ WH has done almost everything to tear down our Military, and the VA system, where many Vets are getting poor health care, service, and even a problem getting to see a doctor in time !!
I don't want to keep slamming people, Governments and Organizations, but it would be good to wake up before we are a conquered nation, and slaves of another ! Once we lose it, it's hard to gain it back..... but then, the KJV Bible tells me EXACTLY what is to happen, and it won't be pretty. Both Blessings and Curses are contained in the bible for those who read and study it --- and even for those who don't.
I am beginning to see, lately, that folks can even "Prep" too much, and forget about God's warnings, and lose the game/ battle! Learn: the Game, the Rules, and how to Win! It's all in the Book, and I will even show people how to start.
If we don't learn the correct Rules of the Game and how to win... some other entity will move in and get us involved in THEIR worldly and demonic game, to steal what little time we have left in this current "System of Things" so that when the Rapture, and then Jesus does come, many/ actually MOST of the world will be caught with their pants down and suffer greatly!
Well, having just purchased a $$$$ wood burning steel stove for emergencies of heating the house in this cold climate, U.P. here... brrrrrr, I can see now that I have been moving in the RIGHT direction for the past 10 years, especially the past 3 years that I have lived in Northern Michigan, the U.P. It has to do with the subject matter of this post today, now, here. It's about 'having something to barter with' when times are tough, that really matters !! But, like I tried to explain to my wife, today.... it's also about having various types of "insurance" policies to protect and preserve what we deem most important in life! If you want to figure that buying fire and smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers are a waste of money --- perhaps they ARE! But, in case we do have a fire or emergency, they might save our home and our lives... so go figure. I want a few "safety nets" under me. I want to wear a motorcycle helmet, and also buckle my seat belt when driving my truck, also various house, life, truck, auto, and health insurances! Because, especially now days, under the devil's system/ world, so much can happen to steal our lives, health, security, and happiness. By the same token, smart people also want God's assurance that we will be resurrected to life everlasting in a great, safe, lovely place, called HEAVEN, when or if we die ! Yes, that IS possible, friends, so why not be 'covered' in every way?
After all, the bible asks: 'Why gain the whole world and then lose everlasting life? That would be stupid, IMHO. This is why REAL, true, bible smart Christians walk around relatively happy, because they know that they are "covered" in all the RIGHT, IMIPORTANT PLACES !

Tom
