EXPLORING 10 QUESTIONS IN DETAIL
This reading is from my book, "Solomon's Sorrow." Originally I posted it on YT, but did not permit comments. So, I'm reposting it here where you may comment. I think you will find it ties in nicely with my recent post from the 1611 Fellowship.

They strayed. Innocent faith is the Straight & Narrow Way.
oh. It's so good Reg. Like Roy said, so simple yet so profound. Matthew 11 Take my yoke vpon you, and learne of me, for I am meeke and lowly in heart: and yee shall find rest vnto your soules. 30 For my yoke is easie, and my burden is light.
.... and my burden is "light"
On "free will", the Bible describes the carnal mind and it describes God's will and nature. Two separate things. If we did not have "free will" , then there would be no way to choose between these two mindsets. Our "Free Will" is a different matter than the All-Knowing and All-Powerful nature of God. God's nature is his and our nature is ours. Yes, it is fruitless to "kick against the pricks" as Jesus told Saul/Paul, but we are a stubborn/hard-hearted people who still choose to ignore God's Will and kick against the pricks throughout our lives. Most to their ultimate destruction. God allows us to make these mistakes because he is patient and long-suffering, but not forever. If we did not have free will to choose to follow God/Jesus, our actions would be blameless . . like an animal whose only instinct is for physical survival. Most choose to adopt this mindset willingly (the Beast mentality) for the relief it gains them in this world. But, very clearly, when Jesus reveals himself to us . . WE are responsible for accepting Him or rejecting Him. We bare the blame for our choice to behave like a beast. Thereafter, we cannot pretend we did not have the free will to choose Jesus' way.
Love your comment here Roy! It answered a question I was pondering (thank you Holy Ghost) that is a beautiful statement. thank you
So well explained. Thank You Reg. I don't know how I missed this one on YT. It is so simple and yet so profound. The Truth. People often talk about the many religions . . but there are just 2. They talk about various gods . . but there is just One God.
also check this out Revelation 19:13 , Proverbs 30:5
im also reminded of Genesis 1:26
on freewill. no-freewill ("humans-are-just-agents-of-universal-forces-and-responsible-for-nothing") defends situations such as this one, ongoing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_the_Clancy_children#Trial
yea this one is a big staged distraction! and/or if it did happen............. it's still a distraction created by Satan. Eyes on Jesus.
Great timing Reg! All comes back to the fruit of one of two trees: The Tree of Life or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Yes sir! Our view of origins defines our general world view.
