thank you very much. just so you know it was found today, unharmed with the keys still in it.
while i have you here. i would like to say that i agree with scripture that we arent free willed creatures. but a verse that i was reading today contains the words free will in the english version of the bible
Deuteronomy 12:17
(17) Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
now, im not using this to attempt to disprove this belief, i just thought that if someone hadnt brought this verse to your attention that you may find it interesting, maybe even address it if you write anything more about free will and the lack thereof. if someone has brought this verse to your attention, may i ask, what should the word/phrase that is translated free will, be? this isnt meant to incite argument or waste your time. and sorry if it does any of the above. if im not mistaken i believe i have read in one of your writings that free will is never mentioned in the bible, i justhought id give you a heads up incase some smart allick bible college student trys to "stump" you and counter your theory.
Deuteronomy 12:6 also contains this word/phrase
From: Jacob
Dear Jacob:
That was fast--Glad that God restored your car to you. The word "freewill" is not found in the Hebrew Scriptures. The phrase "your free will offering" comes from ONE Hebrew word which mean "voluntary offering."
God be with you,
Ray
