You still made the decision, did you not? You could have decided otherwise. That makes the decision done a free choice. You exercised your will. Let's not rely on one's personal definitions. Let's look at what the word ACTUALLY means: Free means not under the control or in the power of...

No, my point was that it COULD be translated to include "lamb." Not that it SHOULD be translated that way. If it SHOULD be translated that way, then what RD said was true, that it would be the only instance where Paul uses it and meant "lamb," and wouldn't much affect our position. If it...

Agreed. "Can" != "Should" I was simply pointing out that he's not necessarily adding to Scripture by using "lamb."

Being redundant is quite different than repeating something for added emphasis. In fact, doing so is, by definition, NOT redundant.

It can be translated as "Passover Lamb."

Because it inherently informs the rest of one's position on the matter, especially when it comes to the topic of God's sovereignty.

No. I mean the actual definition of the word.

Participating in something from a different dispensation does not put us under that dispensation. As Paul states clearly: But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him...

Again: A will, BY DEFINITION, is free. Thus "free will" IS, by definition, redundant. I have no idea what this is in response to, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I said. Yes, that's what it means to have a will. Again, how is this relevant to what I said? Amen...

It was required for all men who were bood descendants of Abraham. First, being "saved" means something different for Israel under the Old Covenant and New Covenant than it does for those of us in the Body of Christ. Second, women were "saved" through the head of the household. The concept...

"Free will" is redundant. A will, by definition, is free. If it's not free, it's not a will." Sin, which is disobedience to God, which is an act of the will, is enough for God to justly condemn us to eternal separation from Him. Is there any other kind? Again, "free will" is redundant...

Terrorism is always wrong. Defending the innocent is always right. Israel should do everything they can to eliminate the terrorists who harm the innocent.

No, He was writing to believers, but he was aware that there would be unbelievers who would read his words, and think to themselves, "well I guess I'll do this too, so I can appear righteous." His warning was for them.

Typical churchianity. The Bible does not say, "Hate the sin, love the sinner." It says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Prov. 23:7). Thus, the problem isn't his sin as much as it is him. Yes, "the Lord hates... hands that shed innocent blood," (Prov. 6:16-17), but those hands are...

Be a member of the body of Christ.

Not quite. It probably started long before that: https://kgov.com/when-did-adam-sin

The children of Israel are the descendants of the patriarch Jacob, who was given the name "Israel" by God.

I don't remember Jesus inviting them to lunch and paying for it all... Usually it was casual encounters, where He didn't spend much time with them at all... Pretty sure He never made a big spectacle about it either, or promoted what they were doing as good... --- When someone dines with their...
