The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Role Of Works In Our Salvation (2)

But again, you are simply asserting that man has no freedom to do evil. This is hardly a "defense" of your position. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" /> As I posted in one of my replies to you, providing quotations from some of the major Confessions, they all affirm that man is truly "free" to act according to his nature. Thus the unregenerate man has total freedom to SIN, according to his depraved nature, with the qualification that God has ordained all things and restrains the evil which man could do via direct providence and common grace. Men, by nature, sin most freely and willingly. But they cannot and will not do anything but sin, i.e., any type or form of good.

So, along with J_Edwards and many more who are reading your replies and trying to see how you have come to this view, I ask you, Where is the Scriptural support (exegesis of passages) that you base your view upon?
