@slaytonmarks7537 The unfortunate psychological effect of Homosexuality is when there is the recruitment, yes requirement because Homosexuality is not "born that way" as the song goes. If an alternate environment is introduced, it can make a change in the perception of, what is natural in the psyche of gratification. All one needs to do is to study the Alfred Kinsey, American sexologist and biologist, experiments on children as young as 2 months old. Kinsey wrote about pre-adolescent orgasms using data in tables 30 to 34 of the male volume, which report observations of orgasms in over 300 children aged from two months up to fifteen years of age. Kinsey rejected the prevailing views, preferring instead a behaviorist model of gender. He saw cross-dressing and crossgender identification as male phenomena and used them to speculate about sex differences in the capacity for psychological conditioning. Kinsey's research went beyond theory and interview to include observation of and participation in sexual activity, sometimes involving co-workers. Kinsey justified this sexual experimentation as being necessary to gain the confidence of his research subjects. Kinsey did not use random sampling procedures when collecting his data, that significant portions of his samples come from prison populations and male prostitutes, and that people who volunteer to be interviewed about taboo subjects are likely to create a self-selection.
Great teaching! If taken to its logical conclusion, it argues against CRT. Just because a parent is racist or low achieving doesn't mean the child will be. 🙏 The child has the ability to choose.
Although we have free will Proverbs 22.6 says “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Which let’s know the importance of what’s poured into a child and the environment they are raised in.
@@Tarrio2raw The scripture is just meaning in teaching a child but teaching multiple children the same thing has different outcomes because of personality and perspective which still shows free will. If a child is taught the difference between right and wrong yet still choses wrong it is their free will
That’s some hard-hitting Gospel going in right there. I think I just got saved again. This is making me THINK. I love it and I love the feeling of being convicted. Thanks Pastor Nolan.
I have to say that this sermon is amazing. I have to say that for many evil and sinful things are happening and that I been through in my life. I have to say that you are so right about it all. You see that I realize that it over all comes down to the lust of the flesh. That I believe keeps us separated from GOD. Did JESUS not said do not love this world?
🙏 Thank You Pastor Nolan for your Excellent Preaching Teaching. In this Sermon what you are essentially saying is a quote I heard many years ago that I’ve never forgotten by Dr Samual Pepys this is what he said “ Circumstances Don’t Create the Way We Are, They Reveal the Way We Are” but the way of the world is the old old story, we’re all trying to past the buck, when in reality, the buck stops with us, but God Mercifully sets us straight PTL! Pastor Nolan I’d like to take this opportunity to say God 💟✝️🕊📖🇮🇱Bless You’n’ Yours Always 😊 many thanks. Kind regards SherrilL. Carss
So deep, brilliant teaching. Thank you Pastor Allen for unselfishly sharing your knowledge and wisdom. May God give you more wisdom, revelations. May He protects you, your family, church and ministry. With much love and appreciation from the Philippines. 🇵🇭
I love how he was teaching about our pets to show the difference between us and them. At first I was getting excited and was going to proclaim that my Siberian huskies seemed to have free will, lol, but yes they are ruled by instincts. Since I was a kid and we had shelties, I didn’t like how the whole family shamed one of our dogs that tore up a bunny nest. Nobody would look at her as she disgusted them. I was the youngest, but after reminding them she was a dog, I took her down to the basement and gently bathed off the blood, telling her it would be okay. I didn’t judge her as if she were human.
Man, that IS good teaching pastor Allen! That phrase to those holding a grudge, How's that workin out for ya? Is spot on, because I had to learn that one for myself. God bless you and thank you for your teachings❤😇🕊☦️
Amazing teaching!!! Never heard this full explanation on free will. Thank you Pas Allen for taking the time to teach & post this freely for everyone to watch & listen. God Bless you & your family. Watching from Queensland, Australia
I loosen my will to be free, the will of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquintances, opponents and the body of Christ to be free, while I loosen myself of every unequal yoke and common share with those who have no free will, binding to hell I will be held accountable for someone else's actions, in accordance with genesis 1:26, isaiah 1:18, joshua 24:15, 2 corinthians 5:10, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 and this whole message, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

Good video. I just finished this book by Rabbi Dr. Shmuel Asher, The Land of Meat and Honey. Why do you believe what you believe and many truths and hidden biblical understanding brought to light. Your consent and free will explained. This book really spoke to me and answered a lot of questions I was searching for. I found it on Amazon.
What he said made sense on a worldly level, but how does a dead person make any kind of decision for Jesus? Where does it say that children are safe from condemnation or a decision at the age of accountability? We have the free will to make decisions in the world, but not the things of God. We can reason and make decisions as he said, but not to make decisions for God.
Everyone can choose I believe we all have that moral Compass I just believe that also our environment can definitely control the way that we Act based on conditioning
If I tell u don't go out w a non-believer nd u go ahead and do it. That's ur will & is free coz u !choose the non-believer nd it's in everything!!! God gave us freel will so it's up to us if we serve Him or not!! '
you chose if you believe in god or not. A parent raising multiple kids and teaching them the same can have totally different outcomes based on their own choices.
We have the ability to choose. That choice either leads us to the kingdom of God or to the demise of Satan. To believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, was crucified, died and was buried and on the third day rose again and paid the price for all our sins, saves us. There is little else in this life that is as consequential as that choice. Some would argue that there is nothing in this life that has more consequence than that choice. Everything after that choice turns on that choosing, either toward the more sublime or to the gross worldly realms. It is simply that beginning that God takes advantage of to make changes in our lives and to bring us more in line with the realm of godliness. BTW, good teaching.
I have questions... do you have a video, based on scripture of course, that explains why children before the age of accountability, go to Heaven? I was taught that it is determined by the parents faith and so on.
Natural man doesn’t make decisions independent of Satan. Man after the Fall is servant of Satan and sin, and cannot understand or receive the things of God, but must first be born again of God’s Spirit. God’s word and will must supersede man’s will.

I have my beliefs on this myself but would like you talk on this thank you keep up your good works thank you.
We are made in God’s image , some people who had NDE saw him and he looks like a man but huge compare to humans . Bible said he has a hair like wool, and baritone masculine voice .
Does Pastor Allen have episode explaining the different in Greek vs Hebrew translations. I notice we go back to the Greek language but was it originally written in Hebrew or Greek?
The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, later it was translated to Greek by the Jews. I think some parts were also in Aramaic. The New Testament was written in Greek.
There is all types of SINS: SLOTH and LYING, Perversion, fornication, etc., But you are correct it is not your environment. Do not change from the true to please man!!!
@@JackMann-zv4tt that is the misinterpretation of Calvinists. The context of John 6 is that the people came to Jesus for the wrong motive after the feeding of the five thousands. They just wanted to be satisfied materially. Jesus's point was that if you are not attracted by heavenly things and seek after the one who bestows spiritual blessings you do not come with the right motive and as a consequence you will not find it. Even secure psychology recognizes that human beings can make moral choices instead of basic instinct.
We’ve got a rooster who asks the hens for consent before mounting them. He does this little dance and then the hen will squat and he’ll jump on her back. But if she doesn’t squat, he’ll do the dance again. And he’ll keep trying until she says yes or she walks away or whatever. I think that’s wild.
I see people refer to bad decisions like stealing as a mistake, but it is not a mistake if it was intentional. An example of a mistake would be a typo. If a person does something intentionally, it is not a mistake, it is a bad decision or a sin. In my example, there are two employees that cost the company an equal amount of time. Employee A gets momentarily distracted for 20 minutes into a conversation then realizes that he needs to get back to work. Employee B takes 20 minutes away from work to play video games and is well aware the whole time that he is supposed to be working. Both employers were paid for 20 minute that they did not work and could potentially face corrective action. However, Employee A made a mistake, but Employee B didn’t make a mistake. What employee B did was make a bad choice. Employee A did not knowingly steal from the company but Employee B did knowingly steal from the company. Employee A has the ability to choose whether to apologize to his supervisor for allowing himself to be distracted or remain silent about it. Employee A could also choose to clock out at his normal time but work an extra 20 min past his shift to make up for the lost productivity or get paid for 20 minutes of productivity. If Employee A remains silent and chooses to get paid for the time he was unproductive, that would not be a mistake.
There is a definitive answer for the Christian if we look to the Biblical future:. If "No free will to choose" were true, then the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment (which haven't happened yet) would not be necessary. What's to judge?, Why have them? If they were held they would be a joke -- a kangaroo court and a sham. How could souls be judged and held responsible for their actions if their actions had been predestined with no free will? That would make God so cruel and unjust . Predestination makes God a Machiavellian: the end justifies the means, no matter how devious or unjust. Our beliefs/choices make a difference! Think on these things… ...whatsovever is JUST
Whether God gave us free will or not doesn't remove the fact that all will freely choose to bow and confess (PRAISE) to him. (Romans 14:11) God will be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28) Who will have ALL men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4) So please stop disregarding these truths from Scripture and leave your traditions of men behind you for good.
There are some behaviors that are ingrained in a person that the person does unconsciously that they cannot change. Some people unconsciously shake their legs with they sit down. Even when the person becomes aware of this habit. they may still be unable to break it. I do see people refer to addictions as habits but there is distinction between a habit and an addiction. A habit is a behavior pattern the person does without being consciously aware of. An addiction is something that people have a strong desire for and will often act immorally to fulfill this desire. There is no such thing as a drug habit. The proper terminology is drug addiction.
I enjoy and learn many wonderful vitally important valuable lessons with Pastor Nolan. I unfortunately do not agree with a few things he has mentioned here. Not a question of right or wrong, just things that I believe must be reckoned with Christ more so (Simple example) - I dont know about you; but I have never 'consciously' said, I want to hold on to bitterness for this or that reason 🤯 or I just want to be angry and live a miserable existence, so I'm not going to forgive so & so Sometimes, people are just that offended that it takes frevent prayer for the help of our Lord to be able to forgive, to forget and so on ....
I fine your message on Free Will interesting. I could not help but to notice that you never say anything about man's fall into sin. Jer. 10:23 says that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps. Jer. 17:9 says that man's heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it ? Scripture says that man's depraved will is against Christ. Jesus said " he that is not with is against me" Matt. 12:30. Would you have me to believe that man is the one creature that God made that He can not rule ? When I read scripture I see that God alone is the only one that has absolute free will.
People are conditioned to live a certain way because of how Society is today DNA doesn't really have anything to do with it if you were raised in the bad home some people take the high road from there some people don't the vice versa can be Saturday other way around also
That is conditioning and reasoning is separate. 5 kids taught the same morals still turn out different and can still do horrible thing based on their own choices
I love your sermons but I've had the privilege of working with service dogs and for them to learn, to teach me as well to me means they're spiritual creatures. Only if people can learn from animals, it would not be such a terrible world. My service dog saved my life during a stroke and I don't teach her to get my cellphone and I did NOT always keep my phone in the Same Place, so how did Synergy my service dog KNOW to get my phone because I was dying????
you are confused by the words here. A dog has a personality and a dog can learn but do not confuse conditioning with reasoning. You can teach a dog it is wrong to do something but you can not teach them why it is wrong. Conditioning is a response based on repetition, it is not the same as reasoning which is to figure something out through logic.
God bless you Pastor but just wanted to let you know that the Bible does not teach that we have free will that was a concept that was added in the Bible
Listen to John McArthur if u disagree with him. Comments attacking anyone fall under sin. If u disagree then look further into the study of what God says and means instead of badmouthing anyone. Really if u know so much about The Word of God u should know that. Peace!
Apparently you have not listened to very many of his messages or teachings because you would not say what you just said I have listened to him for sometime he is an excellent teacher
Adam knew it was wrong to eat the fruit and that doing so meant he would die. Eating the fruit brought sin into the world because of knowledge of Good and Evil. Because of that knowledge of good and evil it means that original sin can not exist as being passed from father to child since a child doesn't know right from wrong until they are taught or get old enough to learn for themself. A child will not die and go to hell for their father sins
Maybe I missed it but I did not hear anything about Man's free will ends where God's Sovereignty begins. Man is free to do as he pleases, but OUR COMING TO CHRIST HAS NOTHING to do with our free will. Our free will is LIMITED, IT WAS CORRUPTED BY THE FALL OF MANKIND IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. WE CAN'T CHOOSE CHRIST. WE ARE INCAPABLE OF CHOOSING HIM. Christ our KING gets all the glory. Brothers and sisters in Christ please go back and read these verses in your Bible. John 6:65 - And He said, “This is why I told you that NO ONE CAN COME TO ME UNLESS it is granted him by the FATHER.” John 6:44 - "NO ONE CAN COME TO ME UNLESS the FATHER who sent me DRAWS him. And I will raise him up on the last day".
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF Yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF God: Not of works, Lest any man should boast. Romans 8:29-30 - For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. 1 John 4:19 - We love Him, because He FIRST loved us. Ephesians - 1: 5,6 - He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of HIS WILL, (NOT OUR WILL) to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
Romans 9:15 - For he saith to Moses, I WILL have mercy on whom I WILL have mercy, and I WILL have compassion on whom I WILL have compassion. HAVE WE FORGOTTEN WE ARE DEALING WITH OUR CREATOR? He owes us no explanation as to why He does what He does. HE IS GOD.
Isaiah 45:9 "Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ or ‘Your work has no handles’? We as Christians are prone to not thoroughly understanding the DEPRAVITY of man and the HOLINESS of God.
I can’t find where we have free will in the scriptures. Romans 3:9-12 no one seeks God. John 6:44 we have to be drawn by the Father. John 6:65, Romans 8:28-30, Hebrews 2:13 We are chosen by the sovereign will of the Father before the foundation of the world. The Bible is clear about those who are His children and those who are children of the devil. Wheat/Tare, Sheep/Goats. Romans Chapter 9 explains about Gods Sovereignty. God said Jacob I loved and Esau I hated before the twins were born. He is the potter and we are the clay, He makes one vessel for honor and another for common use out of the same lump of clay. He is a Sovereign God who does all the choosing, the scriptures and clear on this for those who want to take the time to research the scriptures. God Bless!
You are pleasing your members to get them to go to a building!! Nobody gets to heaven by going to a building. The person is the church and they have to study to show themselves.....
And the god said, "I'm giving you free will, but if you don't follow my commandments, I'm going to punish you ... big time!" Only humans could tell such ridiculous stories, and have others believe those stories were based on truth. Truth? ... according to whom? The following is a word that is far more suited to human imagination ... Truthiness "act or quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than those known to be true," catch word popularized in this sense by U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert, declared by American Dialect Society to be "2005 Word of the Year."
Lol. His definition of "free will" is not the definition of free will. FREE WILL noun [u] the ability to decide what to do independently of any outside influence. The fact that God made the law of "Cause and effect" destroys your so called free will. Only God has free will, that's why he is Sovereign. We do not have free will.

Both employers were paid for 20 minute that they did not work and could potentially face corrective action. However, Employee A made a mistake, but Employee B didn’t make a mistake. What employee B did was make a bad choice. Employee A did not knowingly steal from the company but Employee B did knowingly steal from the company. Employee A has the ability to choose whether to apologize to his supervisor for allowing himself to be distracted or remain silent about it. Employee A could also choose to clock out at his normal time but work an extra 20 min past his shift to make up for the lost productivity or get paid for 20 minutes of productivity. If Employee A remains silent and chooses to get paid for the time he was unproductive, that would not be a mistake.
Please study Roman's 7 sinner is dead how can he will?
There is a definitive answer for the Christian if we look to the Biblical future:. If "No free will to choose" were true, then the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment (which haven't happened yet) would not be necessary. What's to judge?, Why have them? If they were held they would be a joke -- a kangaroo court and a sham. How could souls be judged and held responsible for their actions if their actions had been predestined with no free will? That would make God so cruel and unjust . Predestination makes God a Machiavellian: the end justifies the means, no matter how devious or unjust. Our beliefs/choices make a difference! Think on these things… ...whatsovever is JUST
Whether God gave us free will or not doesn't remove the fact that all will freely choose to bow and confess (PRAISE) to him. (Romans 14:11)
God will be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28)
Who will have ALL men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4) So please stop disregarding
these truths from Scripture and leave your traditions of men behind you for good.
There are some behaviors that are ingrained in a person that the person does unconsciously that they cannot change. Some people unconsciously shake their legs with they sit down. Even when the person becomes aware of this habit. they may still be unable to break it. I do see people refer to addictions as habits but there is distinction between a habit and an addiction. A habit is a behavior pattern the person does without being consciously aware of. An addiction is something that people have a strong desire for and will often act immorally to fulfill this desire. There is no such thing as a drug habit. The proper terminology is drug addiction.
I enjoy and learn many wonderful vitally important valuable lessons with Pastor Nolan. I unfortunately do not agree with a few things he has mentioned here. Not a question of right or wrong, just things that I believe must be reckoned with Christ more so
(Simple example) - I dont know about you; but I have never 'consciously' said, I want to hold on to bitterness for this or that reason 🤯 or I just want to be angry and live a miserable existence, so I'm not going to forgive so & so
Sometimes, people are just that offended that it takes frevent prayer for the help of our Lord to be able to forgive, to forget and so on ....
What does all this say about Calvinism? Are we punished for Adam's sin?
I fine your message on Free Will interesting. I could not help but to notice that you never say anything about man's fall into sin. Jer. 10:23 says that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps. Jer. 17:9 says that man's heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it ?
Scripture says that man's depraved will is against Christ. Jesus said " he that is not with is against me" Matt. 12:30. Would you have me to believe that man is the one creature that
God made that He can not rule ? When I read scripture I see that God alone is the only one that has absolute free will.
People are conditioned to live a certain way because of how Society is today DNA doesn't really have anything to do with it if you were raised in the bad home some people take the high road from there some people don't the vice versa can be Saturday other way around also
That is conditioning and reasoning is separate. 5 kids taught the same morals still turn out different and can still do horrible thing based on their own choices
I love your sermons but I've had the privilege of working with service dogs and for them to learn, to teach me as well to me means they're spiritual creatures. Only if people can learn from animals, it would not be such a terrible world. My service dog saved my life during a stroke and I don't teach her to get my cellphone and I did NOT always keep my phone in the Same Place, so how did Synergy my service dog KNOW to get my phone because I was dying????
you are confused by the words here. A dog has a personality and a dog can learn but do not confuse conditioning with reasoning. You can teach a dog it is wrong to do something but you can not teach them why it is wrong. Conditioning is a response based on repetition, it is not the same as reasoning which is to figure something out through logic.
God bless you Pastor but just wanted to let you know that the Bible does not teach that we have free will that was a concept that was added in the Bible
;.............I'm afraid that my son and daughter do not believe.............😒...........😪
Listen to John McArthur if u disagree with him. Comments attacking anyone fall under sin. If u disagree then look further into the study of what God says and means instead of badmouthing anyone. Really if u know so much about The Word of God u should know that. Peace!
But you cannot choose God due to deadness and depravity of fallen human volition.
This teacher is completely ignorant of the Fall of Adam and Original Sin.
It’s a free country.
Say what you want.
Apparently you have not listened to very many of his messages or teachings because you would not say what you just said I have listened to him for sometime he is an excellent teacher
Adam knew it was wrong to eat the fruit and that doing so meant he would die. Eating the fruit brought sin into the world because of knowledge of Good and Evil. Because of that knowledge of good and evil it means that original sin can not exist as being passed from father to child since a child doesn't know right from wrong until they are taught or get old enough to learn for themself. A child will not die and go to hell for their father sins
This man really didn’t think all this through.
How so?
He is a tad bit arrogant.
Schooled but humble your delivery brother.
Maybe I missed it but I did not hear anything about Man's free will ends where God's Sovereignty begins.
Man is free to do as he pleases, but OUR COMING TO CHRIST HAS NOTHING to do with our free will. Our free will is LIMITED, IT WAS CORRUPTED BY THE FALL OF MANKIND IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. WE CAN'T CHOOSE CHRIST. WE ARE INCAPABLE OF CHOOSING HIM. Christ our KING gets all the glory.
Brothers and sisters in Christ please go back and read these verses in your Bible.
John 6:65 - And He said, “This is why I told you that NO ONE CAN COME TO ME UNLESS it is granted him by the FATHER.”
John 6:44 - "NO ONE CAN COME TO ME UNLESS the FATHER who sent me DRAWS him. And I will raise him up on the last day".
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF Yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF God: Not of works, Lest any man should boast.
Romans 8:29-30 - For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
1 John 4:19 - We love Him, because He FIRST loved us.
Ephesians - 1: 5,6 - He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of HIS WILL, (NOT OUR WILL) to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
Romans 9:15 - For he saith to Moses, I WILL have mercy on whom I WILL have mercy, and I WILL have compassion on whom I WILL have compassion.
HAVE WE FORGOTTEN WE ARE DEALING WITH OUR CREATOR? He owes us no explanation as to why He does what He does. HE IS GOD.
Isaiah 45:9 "Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ or ‘Your work has no handles’?
We as Christians are prone to not thoroughly understanding the DEPRAVITY of man and the HOLINESS of God.
I can’t find where we have free will in the scriptures.
Romans 3:9-12 no one seeks God.
John 6:44 we have to be drawn by the Father.
John 6:65, Romans 8:28-30, Hebrews 2:13
We are chosen by the sovereign will of the Father before the foundation of the world.
The Bible is clear about those who are His children and those who are children of the devil. Wheat/Tare, Sheep/Goats.
Romans Chapter 9 explains about Gods Sovereignty. God said Jacob I loved and Esau I hated before the twins were born. He is the potter and we are the clay, He makes one vessel for honor and another for common use out of the same lump of clay. He is a Sovereign God who does all the choosing, the scriptures and clear on this for those who want to take the time to research the scriptures.
God Bless!
A person does not come to an altar and be saved it is not their choice. Jesus declares nobody can come to him unless the Father draw them!!!
And I believe everybody on this page including the pastor agrees with that
And John 12:32 says He will draw all to himself. Draw doesn’t mean save. Draw means to compel, not drag here. Drop the calvanism.
Man has the free will to accept the conviction of the Holy Spirit or turn it down.
Where did you get that line of bull?
Wrong!!!!
There’s no mention of “free will” in the Bible especially man having free will.
Read the Bible
Watching the video completely, and paying attention, might show you otherwise.
I have a Christian dog, 😅
You are pleasing your members to get them to go to a building!! Nobody gets to heaven by going to a building. The person is the church and they have to study to show themselves.....
The CURSE of "Modern Christianity" = Free Will.
It's an insult to Christ and God.
@@allennolan The bible is a book about what GOD does.
Man has nothin to do with it.
SCIENCE AGREES! Einstein agrees! Man has no free will. Just as the bible says.
And the god said, "I'm giving you free will, but if you don't follow my commandments, I'm going to punish you ... big time!"
Only humans could tell such ridiculous stories, and have others believe those stories were based on truth.
Truth? ... according to whom? The following is a word that is far more suited to human imagination ... Truthiness "act or quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than those known to be true," catch word popularized in this sense by U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert, declared by American Dialect Society to be "2005 Word of the Year."
That is not funny to say anything about being a follower of CHRIST and comparing it to an animal!!
its not free will its a choice of right and wrong free will is a man theory not Gods word so its can be deceptive
Lol. His definition of "free will" is not the definition of free will.
FREE WILL
noun [u]
the ability to decide what to do independently of any outside influence.
The fact that God made the law of "Cause and effect" destroys your so called free will. Only God has free will, that's why he is Sovereign.
We do not have free will.
Agreed .but its funny how hes wrong but used god and the bible as his proof .

Did you freely write your comment? Or were you forced by something or someone to write exactly what you wrote when you wrote it?
@@ifunanya24
I was inspired to write it after watching the video. If I would have not watched the video I would have not written anything about it. So the video caused me to write it.
@@ifunanya24
Btw, you didn't freely reply here out of your own freewill. You were caused to respond by me posting a comment here. Can't you see that?
Sorry but Dominion means to care for them not to seperate them from us!
A child is born in SIN!!! No where in the WORD does GOD says a child goes to heaven!!
