Glad to see you having such a rip-roaring good time tonight. We need more laughs in this world, that's for sure.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]<br>Where does it say that anyone is forced? <br></font><hr></blockquote><p><br>"I will cause you to walk in my statutes."<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]<br> Not too long ago, when we were discussing Romans 7, and it was pointed out to you that when Paul said that, "when the law came I died . . .", you vehemently wrote that this text did NOT refer to Paul, but to some unknown individual who lived before the time of Moses and the giving of the Ten Commandments? <br></font><hr></blockquote><p><br>That would be all righteous men and woman who lived under the law.
