You believe that your free-will choosing to believe causes you to be born of God as per John 1:12-13, yet no one causes himself to be born of God. As the Word of God declares, "
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (
John 3:3), so you cannot choose that which you cannot righteously perceive; therefore, your Free-willian Philosophy leads to you choosing to believe in something other than the true Lord Jesus Christ.
You impose your free-will adulteration as a replacement for the Apostle John' Gospel thusly:
| The Book of Free-willians | | The Gospel of John |
| | |
But as many as free-will chose to accept Him, to them He gave the right to cause themselves to become children of God, even to those who free-will chose to believe in His name who caused themselves to be born of God.
(civic 1:9-13) | | There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
(John 1:9-13) |
so your heart believes your sovereignty of man eliminating the Sovereignty of God, and so go your adulterations of the the Holy Scripture, again.
Behold, God causes me to proclaim exactly that which the Apostle John proclaims.
Let's follow John's blessed chain linking these people:
- John starts with the full population of the planet "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him" (John 1:10) as he builds toward the source of holiness which is "born of God" (John 1:13).
- John narrows the population to Israel only "He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him" (John 1:11).
- John further narrows the focus to a sub-population of Israel "but as many as received Him" (John 1:12)
- John equates the population of "but as many as received Him" (John 1:12) with the population of "children of God" (John 1:12) as he builds toward the source of holiness, that is, "born of God" (John 1:13).
- John further equates the population of "children of God" (John 1:12) with the population of "believe in His name" increasing tempo about the source of holiness being"born of God" (John 1:13).
- John arrives at the source of holiness for every single one of us saints (holy ones) which is being "born of God" (John 1:13).
John's Good Message (Gospel) narrows the focus then he further narrows the focus then he further narrows the focus then further narrowing onward, so we can expand the focus starting with John's primary narrowest foundational point moving toward the secondary larger point and then the tertiary broader point and so on.
John's primary foundational point is "
born of God" (John 1:13, John 3:3-8) which begets John's secondary point of "
believe in His name" (John 1:12, John 6:29) and "
children of God" (John 1:12, John 3:3-8) and "
many as received Him" (John 1:12, John 9) which has implications for John's tertiary point "
His own did not receive Him" (John 1:11) which arrives at John's opening, broadest point which is the fact that "
born of God" (John 1:13, John 3:3-8) does not include everybody in "
the world" (John 1:10).
John has the "
born of God" as the first and primary position, so John is in accord with Lord Jesus, the Christ of us Christians, who puts the new birth "
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (
John 3:3) before belief in the same dialog (see
John 3:16), and Lord Jesus leaves no latitude for man free-will choosing to believe by concluding the dialog with “
he who practices the Truth comes to the Light, that his works may be revealed, that they are having been worked in God” (
John 3:21).
Clearly, you do not believe Lord Jesus Christ who says “
This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent” (
John 6:29).
Your heart makes false statements about God and man. Free-will is a conjured concept of the traditions of men (Matthew 15:9).
In Truth (John 14:6), the Almighty God is Sovereign (Genesis 1:1) in man's salvation and affairs of man (Daniel 4:34-35)! PRAISE THE TRUE AND FAITH FULL ONE!!!
