@DDefending @theantimarkofpw @JoshuaVanBT Not a fan of @TheBabylonBee I guess?

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@iMATTHEWRYAN @JoshuaVanBT I guess it works both ways? Funny huh?

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@theantimarkofpw @JoshuaVanBT Which "lord" are you referring to?

The one Joshua and I serve can multi task. He's a big God who can do all things.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@BoonYork13 😂
It was 2 bible thumpers in the original post. I was just checking lol.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@BoonYork13 me or Joshua Van?

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@rgarcia1521 @Hatakerfd6 @JoshuaVanBT I just used plain bible verses. The ones both Catholic and Protestants adhere to. You'd be surprised that Catholics talk like this too.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@ant_trujillo @JoshuaVanBT you're*

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@ant_trujillo @JoshuaVanBT your confusing telling, with both Joshua and I commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ commandment exhort and encourage one another.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@FormulaFocus99 I know, encouraging a fellow brother in Christ can be jarring to those on the outside.

But take heart. I know us fight fans do the same to each other online.

Same kind of different me.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

The gospel has many implications. Preaching the good news that Christ died for sinners is a main headline. But the brotherly network of christian love toward brothers are also a down stream effect of the gospel we cherish. That includes a good word both in encouragement and boldness.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@ant_trujillo @JoshuaVanBT Definitely, I have been a hypocrite. And there are good godly brothers who check me. I'm good with it. Christians need that in their lives.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@JuiceAFT @I_Am_Weapon_X @Hatakerfd6 @JoshuaVanBT If I could I would and it would be my first choice but his messages aren't open. But you did say "public" so there's that.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

He does have to have an edge. I said that.

I also watch him fight. like @smilensam and others. I'm also for Christians who join the military. You're right we don't need to be soft. Like Christ who is are example. As Christians we are also examples in other areas. That's who Joshua follows. Not you or I.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@fatMollycaylgr @JoshuaVanBT I think you meant exhorting or even encouraging.

Hebrews 3:13: "But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today,' so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness."

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

Just one Christian brother talking to another. That's all. It actually happens a lot. Brothers talk to me that way. It's all love and it's meant to be that way. Even here on X.

Van is fantastic and I believe he is creative enough to say exactly what he said with out some of the words he used.

So yes, let's sell the fight! I'm with you.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@HwsEleutheroi Thats because he thinks we are the good that we do.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

Genuine freedom?

Why does everyone think we have this magical will.

Our wills are dependent.

Its the craziest thing.

There is no such thing as a free will apart from God.

There is only one truly free and genuine will and thats clearly and biblically God.

Everything else is absolutely dependent.

We have a dependent will.

This is why they keep going back and forth with words that continuously need to be rehashed because they aren't biblical.

We uses phrases like "he is not the author of sin" that creates more confusion. Use a different word!!!! Its not that hard. I know what you mean.

There is no such thing as a "libertarian" free will.

We are clearly dependent. We make no sense.

Our wills dont exist in a vacuum and no one can argue that without appealing to some magical scenario.

[5 Solas @5Solas]

These people have no idea what their attempting to criticize.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

I just put the kids to bed. So gives me a little more time lol. @RossBainesArt I need to buy a piece of artwork from you now lol. We both like MMA so it will be related to that. I'll check out your website. I'm not joking either, just to make sense in the old wallet lol. But back to business.

Your question: "who decreed those desires?"

A: God decreed all the events and situations and upholds all things for the supremacy of Christ in all things. The sinful desires in those decreed events are man's.

[Ross Baines Art @RossBainesArt]

Ok, under theistic determinism who decreed those desires?

This is very important because to (rightly) say God temps no one, but simultaneously decrees the very desires that lead to temptation, needs some serious explanation. But not from quantum mechanics. Just good old logic and reason would be preferable.

[Mercy In Motion @MercyInMotion2]

@RossBainesArt @ManassehRJones I just gave you a logical question. It answers it.

Can anyone be good without God ultimately supplying that goodness? You have your answer about desires

And you need not look further than the book of Job. Everything about the book of Job answers all of these questions.
