THE ABSENCE OF FREE WILL.... If it seems I am repeating myself.... It's because I am.... Keeping in mind I do NOT like to repeat myself should denote the importance of what I am trying to tell you.... Which is this: THE ABSENCE OF FREE WILL IS THE REMOVAL OF POWER FROM THE GOSPEL. When free will is removed from the equasion.... The gospel has no effect.... Just the same as if we base salvation on what we can do to obtain it.... The gospel has no effect....
