HP: Excellent point Amy. Love, hate, or any moral intent formed can only be predicated when choice exists. Not choice just to do as one wills, but choice to be the first cause of ones intents. Freedom exist in the relationship that exists between the will itself and the intent formed, not between the intent and the action. One can only do as they will. There is not a shred of freedom in what is commonly stated as “freedom to do as one wills.” Freedom exists in the very formation of the intent, in choosing the intent, in being the first cause of the intent.
HP: Indeed He has. I do not equate the general revelation granted to man by God with being offered the salvation message, but it is clearly enough to grant to them a conscience able to guide them if they would be follow it. Scripture sadly indicates that none have followed the light that God has afforded us. All have sinned and came short of the glory of God.
Is God the First Cause of Sin?
