The Bible says you are robots of Satan before God interneves.

As much as I agree with you on a lot of things, No, it does not say that.

Think about this NIC. We are speaking of God almighty here who created the heavens and the earth. Who by grace is giving you every breath you take, every beat of your heart........think NIC who God is and what he is capable of doing or not doing............


Oh, I thought that we were speaking about Peter Pan.. sorry.. my bad..

What I do not agree with is that He recreates them so that they willingly believe.. they willingly believe because of the love and grace of God given to them through His beloved Son as revealed through the gospel of God.. and they trust in Him for the forgiveness of their sin..
You got it all wrong NIC.

An unrecreated person will not even start to see the light because he has unrecreated heart, eyes and ears. He will not even begin to see the beauty of God's love and grace. His appreciation of such things are still veiled by the old nature and his understanding of such things are superficial.

So your Saviour has not won your heart and your affections.. he has simply programmed that for you..

Go with it Chief..

Allowed to believe? No it is much stronger than that..."purposefully worked in to believe".

So the ones He tells to not harden their hearts if they hear His voice.. it's not His purpose yet for them to believe.. ?

NIC seems to find it amusing to suggest that the Potter causes things to come to pass by such a mundane means as computer code as opposed to by the much more complex means of wills.
