God does not want ' robots ' you say ? Your ' free will ' is in " the snare of the Devil "... 2 Tim. 2:26 |
" And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind
to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,
with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps
God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,
and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the
devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. " 2 Ti 2:24-26
*************************************************
one of the most incongruous doctrines ever to be taught from the
pulpit these days ( as well as Newsgroups ) is summed up in the phrase
" God does not want robots so He gave us ' free will ' to choose
Christ or not ".
coming to Holy Scripture with this or any preconceived conclusion
is already bad practice and is the seed of error.
such is the case with the ' robot ' doctrine of free will.
from the passage of 2 Tim. 2:25 it is plainly stated that the
opposition to the Word of His grace ( Acts 14:3 ) that they are not in
their senses as they reject the grace of God being that these are in
" the snare of the devil "...
this snare of the devil has " them held captive by him to do his
will " v.26
rejecting the Word of His grace is the outcome of doing the will of
Satan... for that is what his captives do according to 2 Tim. 2:24-26
the devil's captivity leads him to " fulfill the lusts of his
flesh"... " to fulfill the desires of the flesh and of the mind "...
because he lives " according to the prince of the power of the air
"... he is therefore " dead in trespasses and sins. " Eph. 2:1-3
in the Light of Scripture, the notion that God doesn't want 'robots'
stems from those inside the sheepfold of their good shepherd as they
spew their most precious doctrine of free will... all the while
fulfilling the lusts of their mind to overthrow the Word of His grace.
the devil has them in his snare doing his will as in 2 Tim. 2:24-26
and this most certainly is being a robot.
*****************************************************
these will worshippers go on to say that God can not judge anyone
fairly unless they have free will.
yet, the Bible teaches plainly that man is conceived in sin
( Ps. 51:5 ) that he is brought forth in iniquity, that from the womb
he is speaking lies. Ps. 58:3
he is said by Jesus that he is of the same nature as his father the
devil ( Joh. 8:44 ) wanting to do his desires. this is being the
devil's robot.
as a dead man doesn't initiate life in his dead body neither does
the dead human spirit initiate life in itself and come running to
Jesus... note the case of Lazarus. the human spirit is dead in
trespasses and sins. Eph. 2:1
since man is the object of the wrath of God from conception
( Ps. 51:5 ) since he is in the snare of the devil at his will,
( 2 Tim. 2:26 ) the will worshippers only out is to agree with
Scripture... but he won't.
**************************************************
this begs the question... ' with such plainly worded Scripture how
is it that will worshippers reject this ? '
quite simply... these are in " the snare of the devil, having been
held captive by him to do his will. " 2 Ti 2:24-26
