@ Texas Sailor, this is why I said I would not discuss this except in person, you said you were interested in learning more about God and scriptures, when your only intent was to try and deconvert someone to bring you self satisfaction. I applaud Ronedee, the answers given were truthful and from the heart God gave. You have trouble with not knowing God, it was apparent when you stated you were baptized twice. You were trying to make it work, you should have allowed God to make it work.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
