To elaborate…

We, us, our, in context of individuals… All have FREEWILL Choice, to Believe or Reject as They “individually Elect”.

It IS that which an individual CHOOSES to “Believe or Reject”, which WILL “APPLY” to Them.

Blankety “I” Believe “ALL” Scripture “IS TRUE”.

Do “I” individually “Believe, Accept, Apply “ALL” Scripture TO ME, Individually? No.

Do “I” individually “Reject Applying” SOME Scripture “TO Me”? Yes.

Did I just, exercise “my” FREEWILL of Choice…”pick and choose”? Yes.

Is it TRUE a person can follow after Jesus? Yes.

Is it TRUE a person can follow after Satan?
Yes.

Is it TRUE an individuals “Choice” to Believe and follow Jesus IS Rejecting Satan…and Vise Versa? Yes.

Point is:
Good / Evil
Right / Wrong
Light / Dark
Up / Down
With / Without
Spiritual / Natural
“ARE ALL” Scriptural Truths…
An Individual “Freely Choosing” one, IS Rejecting the “opposing”. <—> picking and choosing

Glory to God,
Taken
Men have interpreted the bible in countless different ways over the past 2000 years, this is why we have around 47,000 different Christian Denominations. Yet all of these Denominations fall into one of two theological categories.

One believes that salvation is a joint effort between God and man (you obviously hold to that view) and the other view is that salvation is all of the Lord from the beginning to the end and man doesn't contribute anything to his salvation (that's the view I hold to).

We will never agree on the core bible doctrines, while we hold to radically different interpretations of the gospel. The debate over the two gospel versions has been raging for the past 500 years and the Church has disintegrated into countless denominations over this very issue.

That is a lie, I never said I hated my parents. I was only quoting the Lord Jesus Christ, so your problem is with the Lord and not me
Quoting YOU: "Yes I hate my parents and I hate my life, because I obey my Lord and Savior."

Can we all relax with all the needless drama? Christ says hate your parents and even your own life or you can't be His disciple. It's not controversial. Stop acting like it is just so you can "score a point". You're not scoring a point.
