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.

I can't resist asking - do you think if you didn't ask God directly but went straight to studying scripture you'd get your answer anyway? Do you think the answer you get might be different without the direct questioning first?
Also - are you always satisfied with the answers you get? Do you ever get an answer that disappoints you in some way? Do the answers sometimes raise other questions? Too many questions - sorry - just trying to understand a bit more of your process.

I wasn't on this board 3 years ago, so please provide a link or else explain your position. Quote:Read the verses and reason, just take the time to reason please. Translation: Stop using your brain and you'll see that bible passages can mean whatever you want them to mean.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
'Reason' in this case appears to be 'Just accept that it means what I say it means'.

Did you see where I said 'adult' - and that it was not age that was the issue? I don't care if the son in question is 5 or 50 - it matters not.

Interesting. DeistPaladin tried suggesting exactly that and immediately found himself beneath a dogpile of naysayers. Now it's suddenly a good idea?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That's different, derp.
Silly old Stimbo!
