This is silly but If it makes you happy.
Hi, how are ya?

The man of sin religion denies the Truth of scripture that God is He who works [All things] after the counsel of HIS OWN WILL !
Eph 1:11
11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
And no it does not matter what context this truth about God is found. Just because a certain truth about God is found in a particular context, does not limit that which was said about God to that particular context. A pagan King said something very similar about God in a entirely different context Dan 4:35
35And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Also the Spirit said in Dan 4:25
25That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
Now if this be True, why should we not believe that the Most High giveth the Kingdom of Heaven to whomsoever He will ?? Lk 12:32
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
The man of sin religion teaches that God's own will cannot and will not overcome man's own will, but that God's will shall succumb to man's will, if man chooses not to cooperate with God's Will, and so man's will prevails, lest God shall be charged with forcing man to do something against his freewill ! So God gives way to man's superior will !
Scripture should be changed to:
11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of mans freewill will:
Amen; all ism is men worshiping themselves. John Calvin is the founder of Calvin ism.
.
Amen. It is God's Will to give the Kingdom to only those Christ died for; the "many" (Isaiah 53:12 KJV)
as The Father has given Him (John 6:37 KJV). And so they belong to Him, they are His inheritance
predestinated to be His Children "according to the good pleasure of His Will" Eph. 1:5 KJV.
According to God's Purpose and Grace, His Work in saving His People (Mat. 1:21)
was already accomplished before the foundation. 2 Tim. 1:9 KJV; Rom. 9:23
Unchangeable!
Freewill ism, and Legalism and all other ism's is men worshiping themselves,
Amen; all ism is men worshiping themselves. John Calvin is the founder of Calvin ism.
Any ism is fine with me as long as they prove thier free speech with a source.
You can call me an ism all day long and I wouldn't care as some of you noticed.
Gen 1:26....
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...
...He then had an eye to the Redemptive Work of Christ and the Renewing Work of the Spirit !
Thank you sooo.. much; we know now that God had to cause evil, in His own image and likeness, in order for good. Hmm... I wonder, wasn't "good" good enough? Hmmm...., nope, not good enough for God's own lusts.
Thanks again Beloved.

Gen 1:26
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Adam and man in him being made in the Image and Likeness had not its origin in Adam being made out of the dust of the ground, but as it was founded upon Election in Christ, who is the very Image of God 2 Cor 4:4
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
In other words, we know that the mankind that was first created in Adam to be the Elect of God, also the Election of Grace, who all shall come into the experimental reality of being in the Image of God, when they are when they are New Men by New Creation Eph 4:24
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
In adam that was not the case, man in him had not arrived to being created experimentally in Righteousness and True Holiness !
Col 3:10
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
This knowledge man had not in adam at creation, and mind you who Paul is writing to and of in this comment Col 3:12
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
They will be continually be changed in to that Image experimentally by the Spirit 2 Cor 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Yes, this is because they were at the First created in the Image and Likeness of God Gen 1:26, but it was foundational on being Chosen in Christ, and consequently the Work of the Spirit, not being created out of the dust of the ground !
Yes this Means that in the Beginning when God said Gen 1:26
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
He then had an eye to the Redemptive Work of Christ and the Renewing Work of the Spirit !
So Adam was not created in God's image and likeness; I think I got that part.
Listen, when satan via the serpent caused the fall, it did not in one bit hinder or oppose God's Purpose for man in Christ or in adam, but it only effected it and prospered it, so that the Elect in Adam, the Godly Seed See Mal 2:15 would experience Eternal Redemptive Love, that would effect the Purpose of God in conforming them experimentally into the Image of God/Christ, from whom in relation to they come into the True Knowledge of being made in the Image of God Gen 1:26, which knowledge was not in Adam at all, but in Christ, whom they were Chosen in before the foundation of the World Rom 8:28-30; Eph 1:4-5 !
Agree. The Godly Seed in Adam, all the Elect, were predestined to be conformed to the Image of Christ which is God.
nanja
Right, thats why they were in Adam Created in the Image of God Gen 1:26 !
Gen 1:26
Adam and man in him being made in the Image and Likeness had not its origin in Adam being made out of the dust of the ground, but as it was founded upon Election in Christ, who is the very Image of God
In other words, we know that the mankind that was first created in Adam to be the Elect of God, also the Election of Grace, who all shall come into the experimental reality of being in the Image of God, when they are when they are New Men by New Creation

...Listen, when satan via the serpent caused the fall, it did not in one bit hinder or oppose God's Purpose for man in Christ or in adam,..., ...whom they were Chosen in before the foundation of the World !
Yes, that's a fact. However, freewill religion erroneously teaches that all of mankind was created in the image of God.
