It may be harder for some people than others. We all have our flaws and our struggles to overcome. But we do have the ability to choose how we act.
But putting effort into something doesn't make that effort a choice. Remember the effort itself is predetermined.
Remember if God knows what will happen then whether that's you putting the effort in or not putting the effort in... you have no choice.
No. But that's a topic on the other active thread.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
