The Truth is The True Gospel Message of the coming Kingdom of God and Salvation under His Glorious Grace and KNOWING The Duality Godhead of The Father and The Son – The ONLY Godhead. And always remember that The Truth (Yashua Messiah) is the enemy of The State. Below is the Lion of Judah (not the Jews). Please scroll down for the selected article.
This is my third article on this contentious issue, and I recently received some objections to my teaching on it via e-mail. This complainant was very agitated and vociferous, with all his e-mails written in block capitals. Why do people shout when they are in error? Do they think people are going to take more notice of what they are saying if they shout? I suppose they must, but is this the case? I don’t think so, in fact I know so, because all it does is makes them sound and look foolish, combined with The Truth that text written in all-caps is harder to read than upper/lower text, and the writer thereby self-defeated.
So what were his objections? His objections were based on Old Testament Holy Scriptures where it states, and I will quote:
Leviticus 22:18 (MCV) Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all The Children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of The House of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto The Yahavah for a burnt offering.
OK, the pesky word is written there, but does it change anything that I have not already covered in my previous two articles? Let’s return to some of my teaching just to clarify. Man is a fallen being, a lost being, an unsaved being and that is his overall condition, into which he is born, and he cannot be rescued from that condition until he is called by The Father Yah to His Son Yashua Messiah, and regenerated through water Baptism (full immersion), and the gifting of The Set Apart Exclusive [Holy] Spirit.
Genesis 3:5 (KJV) For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:22 (MCV) And The Yahavah Yah said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil.
Here is the fallen condition, and notice what Yah says: “He is become as one of us,” that is, to know ‘good’ and to know evil, to have the knowledge of these two ways of behaving or living. This means from that moment in time (when Adam and Eve fell) man knew about being ‘good’ and about being evil. It also meant he would now be capable of both actions, good, kind or generous actions, even loving actions, or evil, cruel and spiteful actions.
Now if we transfer this reality of The Truth of man’s overall fallen condition to so called ‘freewill offerings’, does this mean that man has had freewill all along and the fall of man in the Garden of Eden didn’t take place. For, make no mistake, this is what it means. It also means man had free will after he fell. For if we say we have free will, it means the fall of man never took place, and we are all free from the bondage of sin and are therefore free, so, by default, we must have free will and we are free to choose. The other issue, and far more important, being that there would been no need for Yashua Messiah to come and die for us.
This, though, flies in the face of The Truth, for in the fallen condition we are slaves to sin, we are lost, so how can we be free. OK, so we are slaves to sin, so what does that mean in terms of will, because we now know it’s not free will that we possess, for we are slaves and slaves have no freedom whatsoever. We have will, certainly, but it’s not free. As mankind we can only have one of two wills, either it’s The Adversary’s will, or it’s the Father Yah’s will, we certainly don’t have any will of our own, and this is what it means to be fallen or lost.
How can that be I hear you ask? Quite simply because Yah is in charge, but so, in a lesser way, is the other god – the god of this world – The Adversary. The difference being, the god of this world or this age is soon to lose all his power, but at this moment in time he is still the god of this world and people of this world do his will – period – full stop – end of.
So what is his will? His will is that people believe his lies and that they do it continually, just as they did from day one in The Garden. People love to be lied to, and that’s why they vote for politicians; why they think politicians are on their side; it’s why they go to ‘church’; it’s why they follow religions of all descriptions. It’s all lies and deceptions of The Adversary and people love them!! These are nothing but outward displays of the lost, fallen condition and man can behave in no other way – he’s fallen. Paul confirms this for us:
Romans 8:7 (MCV) Because the carnal mind is enmity (open hostility) against Yah: for it is not subject to The Law of Yah, neither indeed can be.
Apart from that, it is also The Adversary’s will that man behaves in accordance with the knowledge he acquired when he fell in the Garden of Eden. This issue is of paramount importance when we deal with issue of ‘freewill’ offerings, and it also confirms that The Adversary maintains his deception through people doing ‘good’ as well as doing evil. If he got people to do evil and only evil his cover would soon be blown, and all people would see him for what he is. No, he is the arch-deceiver and he deceives the whole world, apart from one group of people – The Assemblies of Yah, otherwise known as The Ecclesia, those set apart called and chosen out of this world by The Father.
Freewill offerings – H5071 – nᵉdâbâh, ned-aw-baw’; from H5068; properly (abstractly) spontaneity, or (adjectively) spontaneous; also (concretely) a spontaneous or (by inference, in plural) abundant gift:—free(-will) offering, freely, plentiful, voluntary(-ily, offering), willing(-ly), offering).
So to press on, there are seventeen verses in the OT where we will find the word ‘freewill’ and the above verse from Leviticus is one of them. The first problem we have with the usage of this word is the usual one of translation error, for if we look in the Hebrew version of the OT we find the word ‘voluntary’ is used. In other words it’s voluntary offerings, not freewill offerings, and there is a subtle difference between these two words. Mr Strong in his concordance gives it as ‘spontaneous’ but has any of this shown that man has free will? No, not at all. Therefore the use of the word ‘freewill’ is definitely misleading, and it is definitely a translator’s choice, so therefore gratuitous, when the word ‘spontaneous’ would work far better and not mislead. These voluntary offerings were a display of ‘good’ works, the ‘good’ part of the ‘good’ and evil make up of fallen man, and sometimes they were offerings that were given for a reason – there was a motive or an agenda.
In Ezra we find voluntary offerings being given towards helping with the construction of the Temple:
Ezra 1:4 (MCV) And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for The House of Yah that is in Jerusalem.
As I have already stated, all these acts of generosity were acts of ‘goodness’ and therefore fall under the umbrella of the fallen condition, for man has the knowledge of ‘good’ and evil. This means these acts of giving offerings were not ‘freewill offerings’ they were fallen condition offerings, ‘spontaneous’ acts of ‘goodness’ within that fallen condition.
To decide between doing ‘good’ or evil is all part of The Adversary’s deception, so that people like my complainant think free will is involved when deciding whether to do ‘good’ or not. Which ever thing we decide to do, the things we are doing are still The Adversary’s will, not our own will, for it is all part and parcel of the fallen condition. There is no escape from it until we are born of Yah (born again).
John 8:32 (MCV) And ye shall know The Truth (Yashua Messiah), and The Truth (Yashua Messiah) shall make you free
John 8:36 (MCV) If The Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
We need to get these verses into our heads, and written on our hearts, for they tell us plainly and simply that only Faith and belief in Yashua Messiah can set us free, and thereby give us free will. And who gives us the ability to believe – Yashua Messiah Himself through The Father’s call, His will, not our will.
John 6:44 (MCV) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw drag him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
In addition to all I have said thus far, another excellent example of this ‘good’ issue is the British liberal reformers of the nineteenth century. They did all manner of what they thought were ‘good works’ and kind deeds and some of them were, indeed, good and kind works. They were kindly, well meaning people, and they ‘chose’ to do these ‘good deeds’, but unless they were born of Yah (born again) these people’s actions and choices were still only do-gooding acts within the lost and fallen condition, just like the ‘spontaneous’ offerings in Leviticus.
If these reformers were not born of Yah (born again), their motive for doing ‘good’ was not for Yah’s Glory but, rather, for their own glory, and for the benefit of mankind. Yah was not in the picture, and that means His will was not in the picture either. So if Yah’s will was not involved in these do-gooding acts of kindness, whose will was it? Why, it was The Adversary’s will via man’s ‘choices’ within the fallen condition, so it could not be a free will decision, any more than the so called free will offerings in Leviticus were.
These were acts of ‘good’ emanating from men who had the knowledge of ‘good’ and evil – the fallen condition. Whatever man does, whether it be ‘good’ or evil, he is still a slave, a slave to sin, until he is born of Yah (born again) and he has no free will until that happens.
Ever heard the expression: “Only the good die young!?” Is it true? Well it’s my belief that if fallen people are too good in The Adversary’s eyes, he takes them out, because he hates them doing all their good deeds – or he hates them if they have a kind disposition and they love their neighbours on a daily basis. To The Adversary this is not the right kind of behaviour for someone in the fallen condition, for only the right kind of do-gooding is allowed = self-centred do-gooding, not selfless do-gooding.
I trust this will help you all (including my complainant) to come to a clearer understanding of the issue of fallen man’s ‘will’ for it is most definitely not free.
This is a three part series of articles, with Parts 1 and 2 here, that I wrote several years ago, in April 2008, to be precise, and now edited and tweaked to bring them into line with my added knowledge. However, what I will say is that they needed very little in the way of tweaking in order to improve them, and bring them up to date, so what you see here is pretty much the same as I wrote 14 years ago.
So to the question: well does he? because most of fakestream Christianity, that is, the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion, (see link No. 6 below) and certainly those outside of ‘Christianity’ thinks he does? It’s one of those numerous blanket issues, both within and without, the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion. Which means both the secular and religious are very fond of this idea, and takes it for granted without question.Sadly, nearly everything they believe is based on the traditions of hu-man beings and men, or the teachings of the hu-man beings and men of religion – Hellenising philosophers and Judaisers alike, so it’s no wonder they don’t understand.
Mark 7:9 (MCV) And He said unto them, Full well ye reject The Commandment of Yah, that ye may keep your own tradition.
So does fallen mankind have free will? Did he ever have free will? Did Adam and Eve, before they fell, have free will? Now these are very interesting questions, are they not? There are also some other questions that come out of these first questions: If Adam and Eve did have free will, did The Yahhead take bets from the angels on which way they would turn, if so, where did They lay their bets off!!?? (OK only joking) Furthermore, did the Yahhead take a big risk and leave it all to chance, or was it an accidental flaw in their plans of the creation of Adam and Eve – a calamitous mistake?? If They did take a big risk or make a big mistake, we have to imagine They had a plan B or even a plan C, that They would quickly implement, in a state of panic, as a rear guard defensive manoeuvre in order to prop things up. Was that the case? LOL
Was the fall of Adam and Eve something that took the Yahhead by surprise? Was it a grand game of pot luck or lucky dip, or was it a case of: Did the Yahhead plan to ‘fail’, for want of a better expression? Perhaps a better way of putting it would be: Did The Yahhead create Adam and Eve knowing, in advance and full well, that they would fall at their first hurdle? Or, in other words, did the Yahhead plan it the way it happened? OK, let’s see if we can answer these questions?
Genesis 2:7 (MCV) And The YAHAVAH Yah formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (See link No. 1 below)
Take note, for the question of ‘free will’ is answered right here in this first Set Apart (Holy) Scripture. It’s so simple, I cannot understand where this idea of man’s free will came from, unless it’s through non-belief in the whole Bible, brought about by the “New Testament Only” people. These are so-called Christians that think that the Old Testament should be deleted from what they call The Canon of Scripture, thus taking away Scriptures like the above that upset them.
Now as we can see, man was not asked if he would like to be created, he was not invited to a business meeting and his opinion and agreement sought!! Believe it or not, though, this is the very basis upon which many ‘Christians’ build their lives as ‘believers’, that is, Yah needs our co-operation in order to be a success!! LOL. This is why they say: “There is no way I can be saved unless ‘I’ accept a Jesus as my saviour,” never mind John 6:44:
John 6:44 (MCV) “NO MANcan come to me, except the Father which hath sent me drawdrag him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:65 (MCV) And He said, Therefore said I unto you, That NO MAN can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Look what Isaiah had to say on this matter:
Isaiah 29:16 (MCV) Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of Him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of Him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Isaiah 64:8 (MCV) But now, O YAHAVAH, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our Potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
We are the clay, The Yahavah Yah (Yashua Messiah) is The Potter, and we are the work of The Yahavah’s hand, how unambiguous is that!!?? Just where does mankind’s will, free or otherwise, fit in to this scenario or arrangement? As we can plainly see, it doesn’t.
OK, the Garden of Eden scene is nearly complete, just one more character to add: enter The Serpent Creature otherwise known as the Destroyer, or the Author of Ruin and the Author of Lies. He is also known as the Author of Confusion (miscegenation or mixed bloods – see link No. 2 below), The Adversary, the Devil; so many names but with only one purpose – to destroy or wipe mankind, especially non-Jewish White Semitic Israel, from the face of the earth, if he possibly can.
Why is he like that? Easy, Yah (Yashua Messiah) made him that way. If The Yahhead had already planned for Adam and Eve to fall, how were They going to bring it about?
Genesis 3:1 (MCV)Now The Serpent Creature was more subtle (devious, cunning or crafty) than any beast of heavenwhich The YAHAVAHYah HAD MADE.And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Yah said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (See link No. 7 below)
There he is folks, that old serpent – The Adversary whom Yah made. Now, should this revelation (apologies to those of you who already know this Truth) shock us? Well yes it should, if, like me in the past, you have always believed what men of religion have taught you, without questioning it. Make no mistake, I came from that very same fold, too, until Yashua Messiah set me free into His Glorious Light and Truth and under His Glorious Grace. So yes it should shock us, but then again, after a further study of His Word, shock turns quickly to: Well I’ll be…..!! How did I ever miss that??
By ‘missing that’, I mean the sons of perdition like the Pharaoh who confronted Moses, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Yashua Messiah. In both cases the Yahhead hardened the Pharaoh’s heart and Judas’ heart, not The Adversary’s heart. OK, The Adversary played his part in leading Judas astray, but that act of betrayal had to happen and someone had to do it in order for The Scriptures to be fulfilled. Notice, too, that Yashua Messiah was prophesied to fulfil His missionbefore the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:8 (MCV) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, (The Adversary) whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Exodus 7:2 (MCV) Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send The Children of Israel out of his land. 3 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
John 17:12 (MCV) While I was with them in this age (in the world), I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but The Son of Perdition (Judas); that The Scripture might be fulfilled.
Even before Adam and Eve were created The Yahavah was The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. This means He and the Father Yah knew what was going to happen in the Garden of Eden before it happened. It had to happen the way it did in order that The Scriptures be fulfilled, Yah be glorified and Yashua Messiah become the first and only begotten of The Father – Yah come in the flesh.
Here is an analogy that I now use to great effect: Mankind is like a prisoner and a prisoner can ‘choose’ to be a ‘good’ prisoner and win favour with the prison staff, or he can ‘choose’ to be an evil nasty prisoner, but either way he is still a prisoner with no freedom, so his ‘choices’ are a fantasy and, therefore, so is his imagined free will.
OK, so if man doesn’t have free will, what will does he have? Again that’s easy, he has rebellious will, stubborn will, a carnal will, but none of these wills are free, they’re controlled and manipulated by the one who led our parents astray in the first place – The Serpent Creature – The Adversary.
Therefore, Mankind can either do Yah’s will – but only after The Father has called him/her to His Son Yashua Messiah, or The Adversary’s will. Mankind can have no other wills but these, and one will is imprisonment, bondage, slavery and captivity to sin, and the other is total freedom from sin and death under His Glorious Grace.
It’s no good a man or woman saying “I don’t believe in The Adversary – it’s all hogwash,” as that is all part of The Adversary’s armoury anyway. To get people to think and say he doesn’t exist suits him just fine, and that viewpoint doesn’t make him go away and leave us alone, in fact it encourages him. This world (age) is his world (age) and he is the god of it, but not for much longer.
2 Corinthians 4:4 (MCV) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest The Light of The Glorious Gospel of The Messiah – The Anointed, who is the image of Yah, should shine unto them.
So there we have it; mankind has no free will other than in his vain imaginations and fantasies.

FREE WILL – Does Fallen Mankind Have It? – Further Proof and Evidence That He Doesn’t.
For those of you who were not convinced or persuaded by my first article on this subject, I thought I would add to it with more proof and evidence. If you haven’t done so, it will help if you read my first article above “Free will – Does Fallen Mankind Have It” before this one. Thank you.
As it happens, someone e-mailed me recently questioning my ‘claims’ that mankind does not have free will. As always, I will remind readers that The Truth is not something that is claimed, it is always something that is declared in confidence or announced as news – the Good News, and then either accepted or rejected. Now this man made his remarks based upon the idea that Paul reasoned with the Canaanite Serpent Seed Jews in the synagogues. Which he did not, please see my soon coming article: “Did The Apostle Paul Reason With The Jews In The Synagogues?” He then went on to say:
“You claimed to refute the idea that Paul reasoned with the Jews, and implied that logical reasoning is evil and worldly. But I ask to you: if reason is evil, then why can Christians use it so effectively to minister to atheists?
Now here he is missing the point or points completely, because there is nothing wrong with reasoning, if it’s accompanied and guided by the indwelling of the Set Apart Exclusive [Holy] Spirit, but in too many cases it isn’t, and that includes the head knowledge men who translated The Word of Yah into the English of the King James Bible. Now this head knowledge carnal reasoning is the problem, and yes it is evil if it’s applied to The Word of God without the Set Apart Exclusive [Holy] Spirit. Finally he said:
“However, I do believe that God can use the faculties He has given us to lead us to Himself.”
Here again, we see the fakestream Christian inability or the trinity blindness causing them to be unable to see the Father and The Son as two supreme beings, (see link No. 3 below) not one being, and this is precisely the issue. It’s the Father that leads us, not to Himself, but to His Son – Yashua Messiah and no man or woman can come to Yashua Messiah unless The Father calls us:
John 6:44 (MCV) “No man can come to me, except The Father which hath sent me draw drag him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
By this, too, I trust you all understand that the act of salvation is not in the hands of man, but, rather, in the hands of The Father Yah alone and no one else. This is why the fakestream Christian slogans “I have found Jesus” or “I have made a decision for Jesus” or “I have accepted Jesus as my saviour” are not true, they’re just delusional lies. When The Father calls, the answer can only be as it was for Samuel and Jeremiah. In Samuel’s case it was a simple answer “Here am I”.
1 Samuel 3:4 (MCV) That The Yahavah called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
In Jeremiah’s case it was showing us how predestination works – Jeremiah was always going to be Jeremiah the prophet, come what may, so where was Jeremiah’s free will in this arrangement! It wasn’t, it wasn’t there at all, because Jeremiah didn’t have free will!
Jeremiah 1:4 (MCV) Then the word of The Yahavah came unto me, saying, 5 before I formed thee in the wombI knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb Iset thee apart and sanctified thee; and I bestowed upon thee the honour of being a prophet unto the nations.
He further said:
“I know that you’re probably thinking that those people can’t see your truth because they are incapable of doing so. However, this denies the freewill that is the core of what it is to be human. After all, God “created man in His own image.” If we are created in God’s image (which I am sure you believe) and we lack free will, then that implies that God doesn’t have free will either.
Yes we were created in the image of the Yahhead, but unfortunately this man has forgotten one catastrophic event – man’s fall from the benefits that came with being created in Yah’s image. As you know, man chose (and chose for the last time) to believe a liar instead of his Creator, who told him The Truth, always. Once man fell he lost any freedom he once had, and became a slaveto sin, and fell under the curse of death, as a servant of The Adversary. Again, as you must know slaves and servants just do as they are told, they have no freedom and certainly no freedom to choose, so they have no free will. We have to be set free in order to have free will.
The fallen and lost have a will, yes, but it’s not free, because the only will they can perform is The Adversary’s will, for he is the god of this world (age or its systems) and he deceives the whole world. Carnal Man is in a rebellious frame of mind, continually, against his Creator. Even if man does ‘good’, he is still in the overall fallen condition, for he has the knowledge of ‘good’ and evil within that fallen condition. This means he will sometimes do ‘good’ and sometimes do evil, but he is still fallen and in slavery and/or in bondage to sin = no free will.
John 8:32 (MCV) And ye shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free.
Freedom only comes with being born of Yah (born again). Anyone not born of Yah (born again) is not free, so therefore has no free will. If we say we have free will, what is this real freedom The Yahavah is referring to? Freedom is freedom you cannot have categories or stages of freedom, it’s either freedom or slavery to sin.
I do not make any claims, for The Truth is not something we claim, it is something we declare. Either we have The Truth, or do not have The Truth, so we tell it like it is, that is, through the indwelling of the Set Apart Exclusive [Holy] Spirit in order for Yashua Messiah to make His home with us. Once this has occurred we can only speak The Truth. Claims are only for Hellenising philosophers, Bible intellectuals, Bible seminary graduates and theologians who do not have the indwelling of the Set Apart Exclusive [Holy] Spirit.
Moreover, fake Christians can minister to atheists until they are blue in the face, but unless The Father is calling those atheists they will remain atheists.
He further added:
“At the end of your article, you said that those who claim that you were using reason to convince them of reason’s evil were in essence wrong, because they were using reasoning to do so. In doing so, you created a circular logic that comes across as “the only reasoning that is true is that which I declare to be true”–something that has turned many intelligent nonbelievers away from the Lord.”
My ‘reasoning’, as he calls it, only appears circular because reasoning without the indwelling of the Set Apart Exclusive [Holy] Spirit can only be circular. This was the problem the first century Assemblies of Yah (The Ecclesia) had with Hellenising intellectuals with their philosophers who infiltrated The Assemblies – The Ecclesia and corrupted it with their non-gospel. Once born of Yah (born again) His Set Apart Exclusive Spirit joins our spirit and all our reasoning then points in a straight line to Him and is no longer circular.
Romans 8:16 (MCV) The set apart Exclusive Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the sons and daughters of Yah: (Notice that the set apart Exclusive Spirit is an IT! Not a ‘he’ or a ‘him’.)
It’s a Spiritual thing not a reason based logical thing, and this is where so many go wrong within fakestream Christianity (the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion).
He then says: “the only reasoning that is true is that which I declare to be true”–something that has turned many intelligent nonbelievers away from the Lord.”
Well this is clearly not true, for The Truth could never turn away anyone The Father is calling to His Son Yashua Messiah, and the response from a genuine newbie would be the complete opposite of what he is describing. This then tells us that the intellect in man is often a stumbling block, just like riches are usually a stumbling block for wealthy men. In fact the intellect is a form of riches.
He came back again:
“Dear Messenger Charles,
Thank you for taking the time for e-mailing me back. While I still do not completely agree with you, especially on the point that persons without Christ do not have free will (if our will is not free, then God determines who will be saved and who won’t, which is against His plan for us, for “it is not God’s will that any should perish.”), it is good to know that you are not one of those people who considers himself above responding to people with honest questions.”
I thanked him for his reply and pointed out that, in part, he had answered his own queries.
He was right, it is not Yah’s will that any man should perish and that is precisely what will happen – Yah’s will, will happen. (See link No. 4 below) Is Yah all powerful or not!? Yah’s will is not our will, for His ways are not our ways (unless we are born of Yah (born again) which, if it is Yah’s will that is being done, it proves that our will is not in the picture – free or otherwise.
Yashua Messiah came and conquered death, so if any man dies and remains dead, that is, has not been a part of any resurrection, then He and the Father will have failed. Nothing is conquered completely if any fraction of it remains unconquered. Yashua Messiah did not come to this earth to partly conquer sin and death, He came to conquer it all completely, and He did!
With regards to his point about our ‘free will’ he had not understood the issue that it’s only being born of Yah (born again) that gives us free will. Adam and Eve lost their ‘free will’ – the first Adam. We are under the Grace of The Second Adam and have been restored to an even better position than the first Adam before he fell. We are, in effect, more free than the first Adam, so we have free will, if we are born of Yah, but the lost and unsaved do not have free will, for they are not born of Yah, and they can only do The Adversary’s will – that is the fallen condition.
If we believe that the lost and unsaved have free will then by default we are saying that they have a say in whether they are saved or not. By default, you are saying man’s decision overrides or overrules The Father’s decision, and man has the power to control Yah’s will – ridiculous!
This is a tail wagging the dog scenario of cataclysmic proportions that he is describing here, whichever way you look at it, and makes Yah look powerless and ineffective. This, too, is the foundational flaw in all fakestream Christian denominational teaching, and it renders all adherents to it as believers in a non-gospel – which is not a gospel at all, as Paul graphically pointed out:
Galatians 1:6-7 (MCV) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into The Grace of The Messiah – The Anointed unto another gospel: 7 Which is not a Gospel at all!; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert The Gospel of The Messiah – The Anointed.
You see, once we embark upon a spiritual journey of salvation based upon man’s decisions, or upon man’s authority, which, if it is our decision, then it must be based upon our authority, we then have a spiritual journey of Spiritual insecurity. This is why fakestream Christians are always questioning the validity of their salvation and, in turn, why they live lives of worry, fear, guilt and doubt about their place in The Messiah – The Anointed (see link No. 5 below). Why? I will tell you why, because it all started on a sandy foundation of their decision; based upon the myth of their free will; when all the while it is not their decision at all but, rather, The Father’s decision alone to call them and save them = 100% Spiritual security.
Philippians 1:6 (MCV) Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Yashua Messiah’s return:
Hebrews 12:2 (MCV) Looking unto Yashua Messiah the author and finisher of Faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the stake, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of The Throne of His Father.
I told him, I hoped it would help him in his understanding and we parted on good terms, with him saying he thought I made some very interesting points. He said he would have to think long and hard on this subject. He thanked me again for being willing to sacrifice my precious time, so it was refreshing and encouraging to part amicably.

Isaiah 45:7 (Septuagint Interlinear) I (Yashua Messiah) [am] The One carefully preparing light, and I made darkness; and The One making peace, and [The One] creating bad [things]. I [am] [the] Lord God, The One doing all these [things]. (Round brackets mine)
Isaiah 45:7 (Septuagint Brenton) I (Yashua Messiah) am He that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things. (Brackets mine)
I have included the two Septuagint translations, just to firm up the narrative and to remove any doubts you may have regarding the Masoretic Hebrew text.
Now this is a very controversial subject for some, that is, liberal luvvy-duvvy Cultural Jew Marxists that, in these last days, pose as Christians and proliferate mainstream Christianity (the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion) in their thousands. These politically driven, deluded, liberal imposters get very upset when the subject matter of this verse gets aired, for it goes against much of what they stand for and believe.
Now this is because it doesn’t sit well with their preconceived ideas of who The Father is, or who Yashua Messiah is. You see, they don’t really know The Godhead at all, nor do they know what They are about. They therefore know nothing about The Godhead’s real plans, that is, what things they originally brought about, or put into being, in order that Their plans should be and would be accomplished and brought to fruition.
Moreover, this is a verse that gets their explaining away engines working flat out and doing much over time, to make sure that their liberal lemming followers are not offended or upset. This means we get guff like this from the ‘Got Questions?” web page:
“God did not create evil, but He does allow evil. If God had not allowed for the possibility of evil, both mankind and angels would be serving God out of obligation, not choice. He did not want “robots” that simply did what He wanted them to do because of their “programming.” God allowed for the possibility of evil so that we could genuinely have a free will and choose whether or not we wanted to serve Him.”
In this short paragraph we can see how they are immediately offended by the idea that God does create evil, and has created evil, and He did that so that evil entered into the world, so that Yashua Messiah would be crucified and killed for us, so that we could have Eternal Life and reside with Him forever in The Kingdom of God. This means they never stop and ask this simple question – If there was no evil in the world how could Yashua Messiah have been crucified and murdered?
Notice, too, the old ‘free will’ nutmeg that they always stumble over when explaining The Truth away, as in the above paragraph.
Ephesians 1:3-4 (MCV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all Spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According AS HE HATH CHOSEN US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, that we should be Holy (separate) and without blame (sinless) before Him in love:
He did not want robots! he says. LOL. Well that’s exactly what we are or were = Satan’s Robots!!! Until The Father intervened in our lives and called us to His Son.
Revelation 13:8 (KJV) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (Satan), whose names are not written in The Book of Life of THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
Furthermore, if we, as lost and fallen creatures, have free will, why would The Father have chosen us from before the foundation of the world? What say do we have in this scenario? I’ll tell you, NONE! ZILCH! ZERO!
So back to the paragraph and his idea that: “God ALLOWED for the POSSIBILITY of EVIL!” Really!? So it was all a game of ‘Hit and Miss’ was it? How does anyone ever believe this satanic gumpf? Well, He has sent them STRONG DELUSION so this must be a perfect example of it, for these duped fake Christians do believe it.
From the CARM web page:
“Does God create evil? Isaiah 45:7 and Amos 3:6. No, God does not create ontological evil. He creates calamity which is sometimes translated as ‘evil.’”
Amos 3:6 (KJV) Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
Now with this joker we can see a pathetic attempt at trying to counter Isaiah 45:7 by using Amos 3:6, when these are two very different cases using the word ‘evil’. Isaiah 45:7 is no way referring to a calamitous event, for it opens with the subject matter of ‘light and darkness’ and any believer half switched on will know exactly what is being inferred here. If you’re still in the dark (like the pun?) let’s shed some light on it.
1 Peter 2:9 (MCV) But ye are a Chosen Offspring, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.
This is the light and darkness that Isaiah is referring to, so we’re dealing with the subject of sin and wickedness, not calamitous events and it is God Himself that created it. So how did He create it? Let’s go to Genesis to find out:
Genesis 3:1 (MCV) (First Part) Now The Serpent was more subtil (sly, devious and crafty) than any beast of the field which The Eternal HAD MADE.
Genesis 3:1 (Septuagint Interlinear) (First part) But The Serpent was most skilled {read into that negatively what you will} of all the wild beasts of the ones upon the earth whom [made [the] Lord God.]
Genesis 3:1 (Septuagint Brenton) (First part) Now The Serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made.
And there we have it – Yashua Messiah created evil in The Serpent from the beginning. Satan was never a fallen angel, nor a cherub, (see link Nos. 1 and 2 below). He was a beast of the field, albeit with certain spiritual powers, created evil by Yashua Messiah, from the beginning, and placed in The Garden.
This is how sin entered into the world and all as a part of the Godhead’s plan = no hit and miss, no uncertainty and definitely NO FREE WILL!!
In Yashua Messiah’s Holy name
