God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Heaven, as the eternal home of the divine Man and of all the redeemed members of the human race, must necessarily be thoroughly human in its structure, conditions, and activities. Its joys and its occupations must all be rational, moral, emotional, voluntary, and active. There must be the exercise of all faculties, the gratification of all tastes, the development of all talent capacities, the realization of all ideals. The reason, the intellectual curiosity, the imagination, the aesthetic instincts, the holy affections, the social affinities, the inexhaustible resources of strength and power native to the human soul, must all find in heaven exercise and satisfaction.

A.A. Hodge

All people freely and voluntarily and willingly reject the gospel because it is their heart’s desire to do so. A person’s freedom consists in the ability to act according to one’s desires and inclinations without being compelled to do otherwise by something or someone external to himself. So long as one’s choice is the voluntary fruit of one’s desire, the will is free. This is what I mean when I say, “Yes, all people are free moral agents.” On the other hand, to say that a person has free will is to say that he has equal ability or power to accept or reject the gospel. It is to say that he is as able to believe as to disbelieve, and that this ability springs from his own making and is native to him notwithstanding his fallen and sinful state. If this is what you mean when you ask me, “Is man free?” my answer, or rather, the answer of the Bible, is “No.” A man’s will is the extension and invariable expression of his nature. As he is, so he wills. A man is no more free to act or to will or to choose contrary to his nature than an apple tree is free to produce acorns.

INSTRUCTIONS

The size have to be large, if you cannot get large chiles you can use
littles, but need to buy more, is difficult to make the exactly  amount
of chiles and stuffing.  **acitron: a citron dried and made into
sweetmeat; candied lemon.  This is what my dictionary says, if you
cannot get it do not worried,  make the recipe with the other
ingredients.  ***The walnuts need to be peeled before, you can let them
in some  water on the refrigerator.  Prepare the stuffing: In a sauce
pan put vegetable oil, in the  blender make a pure with onion and
garlic, add to the vegetable oil  when it is hot, let the onion fry
until be brown (not black). Add the  meats, let cook until the meats
loose all the water and looks a  little brown, add the red tomatoe
puree, add salt and pepper and let  it boil, add the fruits chopped and
let cook until will be dry. Let  cool.  Sauce: Mix all in the blender
until be soft and have a sauce  consistency, try and season with salt
and cinamon, this sauce will be  cold over the stuffing chiles.  Serve
Fill all the chiles with the meat, there are two ways for to serve:
1.- Mix 4 eggs whites until be hard, add the yolks and mix, cover the
chiles with this mix and put them to fry in some vegetable oil. let
cool and cover with the white sauce, adorn with the pomegranate and
some little parsley leaves.  2.-Without using the eggs and oil, I
prefer in this way, just after  fill them put over the white sauce and
adorn with the pomegranate  just a few seeds for to add red color to
the dish, because this dish  have the mexican flag colors: green, white
and red, and also adorn  with some little parsley leaves. Patricia
