As you have said about me, all of that is just your own personal words. It means nothing.
  • Please stick with the discussion and stop getting personal.
The seed is in Christ...not in self?...the Living seed the Holy Spirit....has been sown in our hearts, where it will grow and flourish as Gods word says.,..we have been Born Again of imperishable seed...

  • Genesis 3:15
    And I will put enmity
    Between you and the woman,
    And between your seed and her Seed;
    He shall bruise your head,
    And you shall bruise His heel."
  • Genesis 22:18
    In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."
  • Isaiah 53:10
    Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him;
    He has put Him to grief.
    When You make His soul an offering for sin,
    He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
    And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.

  • Romans 4:13
    For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
  • Galatians 3:16
    Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed,"who is Christ.

I have answered again and again that your understanding of most scripture concerning soteriology is simply wrong.
You have answered no understanding of the scripture I posted...nothing...now, can you please stick with the discussion of scripture.

Oh of course. When I say to you what you say to me it is getting personal,

Praise God for His Holy Spirit....the Living seed of God.​

Isaiah 66:14

You will see [it], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.

Gen 22:18 "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."

That "seed" is not the Holy Spirit.

I have already posted that we are Born Again of imperishable seed?

If it’s not the seed of the Holy Spirit.

Then please explain what God means by imperishable seed?

There is human seed?

Then there is the seed of the Spirit?

The seed of Genesis 22:18 is the Messiah, the Christ of God, Jesus the Son of God.

The seed of Genesis 22:18 is the Messiah, the Christ of God, Jesus the Son of God.

1 Corinthians 15:44​




44 The seed sown is natural; the seed grown is supernatural - same seed, same body, but what a difference from when it goes down in physical mortality to when it is raised up in spiritual immortality!

Luke 8:11
Verse Concepts
“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.

Luke 8:11–15​


11 ‘Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12The ones on the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.13The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe only for a while and in a time of testing fall away. 14As for what fell among the thorns, these are the ones who hear; but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.15But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.



Of course the seed is Jesus...he grew in Mary’s womb?...he is the seed of God?


Galatians 3:16

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ.

1John 3:9.

Berean Standard Bible
Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

Berean Literal Bible
Anyone having been born of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him, and he is not able to continue sinning, because he has been born of God.

King James Bible
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God

So how did Mary become pregnant..if not by Gods seed?...by his Living word , which is his seed?

I will leave it there...

What on earth do you mean resist Calvin?

Don't believe what He teaches.

= "resist Calvin"


It’s the Holy Spirit I cant resist learning from...not John Calvin.

The Holy Spirit does not teach that God pre-destines people to not be able to trust in Christ.

Calvin Teaches that, and Calvin's disciples teach that.

Show me where Calvin teaches that from the Bible?

Calvin didn't write the bible, so, i can't show you from the bible, any Calvinism, as Calvinism does not exit in the Bible.
Its exists only as Calvin's theology, that is a twisted corruption of some verses in the bible.

Here is one.

The born again, are "pre-destined to be conformed into the Image of God"..

Calvin's version :

"only the pre-destined elect are chosen by God to receive Salvation".

Notice how this DEVIL twisted that verse to fit his "pre-destined elect" theology of LIES.

The phrase, "faith to believe", is an oxymoron. Belief in God is faith. To believe in God is to have faith. Faith and Belief are the exact same words in Greek.
God gives the Gift of Faith and it causes belief.

Faith is only given to those that hear and believe the Gospel. "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (which is the Gospel) Romans 10:17.

"For you are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ" Galatians 3:26.

"This only would I learn of you; did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law (because you did something) or by the hearing of faith? (hearing and believing the Gospel) Galatians 3:2.
Faith is given to everyone Christ died for and reconciled to God.

Faith is not a gift! ! ! ! !

Faith in God is no different than faith in anything else. You become convinced of the truth through what you hear about it. And you are so convinced in it that you place your trust in it. I believe in God in the same way that I believe in gravity. I am convinced of the truth of gravity through experiencing the effcts of it. I believe in God through hearing (reading) what He has done.

Faith IS believing in God, in Christ, in the Gospel.
Yes Faith is a Gift as is Salvation

John 3:16 proves that your Idol Calvin, is a liar.

Jesus said.. "ALL that believe in me, i give unto them eternal life".

So, your IDOL, the Satanic Calvin, said....>"No Jesus, its not ALL, its only my Theology that is correct, so, let me show you Jesus, that you only died for the "pre-destined".

Calvin is a Cross Denying liar, who is a cancer on the Body of Christ.
Scripture nowhere says Christ died for everyone without exception, thats one of the biggest lies ever told.

And what if your Mother and mine, are not pre-destined before they were born, to believe in Jesus?

This means that Calvin's God has pre-destined them to NOT Believe, = God caused them to die a Christ Rejector, and go to HELL.

See that?

That is what @brightfame52 is vomiting on this forum.

= That disgusting Cross Rejecting Theology that Satan gave to Calvin.

That is the teaching that : God didn't pre-destine someone's mother, child, brother, grandfather,.... to go to Heaven, so they HAD to go to Hell.. they were "pre-destined by God to burn in the Lake of FIRE">.. and had no choice.

So, that is SATANIC Teaching, that ACCUSES GOD of NOT Pre-destining some to go to Heaven, which means they were pre-destined by GOD to not be able to believe in JESUS, and they died a Christ rejector, because it was God's WILL.

And that is UGLY SATANIC Calvinism.

Its : OF THE DEVIL.

Do not believe it Reader.
Calvinism: is SATANIC
Calvin's disciples are DECEIVED and they will try to DECEIVE you with Calvin's LIES..
Its what they do on Forums..
They teach CALVIN's Hellish Anti-Cross LIES.
Gods elect were before the creation predestinated to be conformed to the image of Christ that He would be the firstborn of many brethren Rom 8:29-30

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

That required for them to be born again, so the elect had to be predestinated to be born again in order to reach Gods purpose of conformity to the image of Christ.

And be advised, Tulip is the Gospel that you are calling hellish lies, that's enmity against God.

Nowhere does it ever say that faith is a gift from God. If it were, He would give it to everyone. You are probably thinking of Ephesians 2:8, but you would be wrong. The gift is salvation, salvation by grace through faith.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

The word "that" is from the Greek "touto" which is in the neuter gender. It cannot refer back either to grace or to faith which are both feminine genders. It must then refer back to the entire phrase, "by grace you have been saved through faith".

The words "it is" doesn't exist in the Greek. It is supplied by the English translators/interpreters.

The power to believe could well be considered a gift, but it is a gift given to the whole of humanity in creation. The power or ability to believe and the act of believing are two different things entirely. Grace is God's part; believing in God is man's part. God has given us the entire Bible which holds all the information and data to convince us of the truth of God, His person and His work. Everything you need is there to believe God and to trust God. Believing and trusting God is, by definition having faith in God,

Amen!!!....without Faith that comes from God, then there is no faith at all, just their own human faith...some are blinded to the truth I’m afraid...
Some even deny the word of God below....
1 Corinthians 12
King James BiblePar ▾
Spiritual Gifts Bestowed
1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

TULIP is absolute heresy.

Peter says in 1 Peter 1:1-2 that the elect are according to the foreknowledge of God; that is not according to predestination. God knew who would love him and it is those who are called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28). The rest of Romans 8:29-30 follows from that.
