Law was an impossible system to keep

[Esaias]

Well, that clears things up a bit as to what you mean by 'law keeping' vs what I mean by 'law keeping'.

Now, we just have to deal with the issue of 'will power' because I think, once again, we are using the same terms in somewhat different ways. I notice you are using terms like 'force' in association with 'will'. It makes me think of a drunkard or smoker trying to quit 'by force of will', meaning they want to quit but have strong desire and temptation to indulge, and cannot seem to muster the 'force of willpower' to overcome those temptations or desires.

I will think on this for a bit, and see if I cannot line out what I see as the differences in our uses of the term 'will', and perhaps identify how the Bible uses the term. I do want to keep in mind that the term 'will' can have several slightly different meanings, so I will try to be careful to distinguish what I am saying in order to avoid misunderstandings.

The 'p' letter on my keyboard is giving me trouble, I have to REALLY press it hard to make it show up, so bear with me if it seems like it takes awhile for me post. I may have to get back to this tomorrow. If you don't hear from me for a couple days it's because I broke my keyboard lol.
