"Freedom" of will


Philippians 2:3 New English Translation (NET Bible)

3 Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.

 

Simple reality

 

Simple fact, simple figure ... a few words driven home

will bring to the perception ... most basic truth all alone.

 

Greatest flaw in communication is to explain a simple thought

with many words and illustrations bringing truth quickly to naught.

 

Lonely minds with deep longings ... always striving to be recognized

in human nature and its longing splattered and then bastardized.

 

Freedom of will never discovered because of love for convenience

as the self-centered quietly hovers ... over the will and conscience

 

Deathly embrace kept in place by all ... who enjoy in the world provisions

as blinded within the human race ... accepts love for self their only mission.
