Verses on the God you are called to Believe in...

  1. Questions - Top
    1. Is God's will thwarted by human free will?
    2. Is God's will limited by human free will?
    3. Can God fail at anything He intends to do?
      1. "God does not intend to bring about everything He values, but he never fails to bring about what He intends." (John Frame)
    4. Is the human will somehow independent of all other influences so as to be truly free?
    5. Is the human will somehow independent of human motivations?
    6. If God does not influence a person's will, so as to allow him total freedom of will, then how is it that God draws the person?  In other words, the drawing of a person is an influence upon the will.
    7. Does the human will have the ability to overcome various influences so as to make a neutral, objective decision?
    8. If God foreknows what someone will do in the future, is that person then free to change his mind or not?
    9. Is the "free-willer" using the doctrine of complete freedom of will as a paradigm into which God's character and actions must fit?
  2.  Logic - Top
    1. God creates the person, the will of the person, and the body of the person since God is the one who forms us in the womb (Isaiah 44:2,24; Ecc. 11:5), etc.
    2. Since God knows all things, a person's free will is not outside God's knowledge.
    3. God puts that person in a particular place and time.
