The bible asks the question can a leopard change his own spots? I believe it is impossible for a man to ever seek God, Love God, or love the things God loves if God does not first draw him, change him, and save him. The man has free will to do that, but his free will is bound by his nature, and his nature does not allow him to seek God. Now can a man change his own nature? No more than a leopard can change his own spots. As impossible as it is for a leopard to change his spots, it would be even more impossible for me to pick up a snake, unless like my nature, God first turned that snake into a rabbit or bird. I know the bible says the snake wont bite, and the bible says peach the gospel to every creature. I am just afraid the snake i pick up has yet to be told about the verse that says he wont bite me.
All that beeing said, I also no what those verses mean. The poison Earl, I drink it every time I listen to a muslim, or a atheist, or evolutionist ect ect or you talk about the bible. It has not weakened me or made me the least bit sick, yet I drink it down daily. And I run with and handle many serpants, Jesus sat and ate with them. But I have yet to run with a serpent and have his desires rub off on me, or feel the need to partake of his deeds, yet I handle them all the time.Good night.[/QUOTE/]
So if God has to draw us, change us, and save us for us to seek him, how is that free will?
