Daily mental persuasion that blood > sin = saved? According to Rom 10:9 we need confession with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and to believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead before we are saved. Confession with mouth that Jesus is Lord = 1. Agreement with all He taught. 2. Full...

ISIS murders the total tally of 400 years of Catholic inquisitions (+-3000) in just ten days (every 5 minutes). It is not '''christians'' that like to condemn. It is facts and Muhammads words (plz see post # 57). Having said this, please don't think I don't have respect for Muslims. Most are...

What of Eph 4:8? 'When He ascended on high He led a host of captives'.

I would say God can be limitless but chooses not to be. Rom 9 is full of evidence that God can do whatever He wants. Yet the rest of scripture is evidence of what in fact He does do. The cross is evidence of Him limiting His omnipotence to do what is good. Free will is evidence of Him limiting...

Well this seems like a very Calvinistic statement. Your hatred of evil matters for naught because God chose you in Him from the day you were born...? BTW I am not sure what your point is in comparing me to Paul. Are you proposing I don't know God? I am killing fellow Christians? What I do know...

Gen 17:1-2 must be read with Rom 11:29.If you read vs 30-32 it is interesting to hear how God has ''bound everyone over to disobedience so that He may have mercy on them all''. Now you need to clarify if you are taking a Calvinistic view of Rom 11:29-32 or not. Or rather a universalism view. As...

I don't think you are fully grasping the open door to the devil in your statements. I agree with the second half of your post. But again....on faith.... Do you think Pharaoh did not believe God would send the next plague? I am sure his faith in the next plague / believing God, was perfect. So...

You are raising a Calvinistic type argument on God's omniscience. Are you a Calvinist? Do you believe Pharoah's heart was hardened in the sense that he was robbed of free will? Grasping God is beyond us. But what we can grasp is God's wisdom in selecting Abraham. Have you read how Abraham...

1. 'Worketh' for the unattainable to be attainable. Not to attain the attainable. Please re-read post # 6. 2. We just need to add 1 Cor 12:3 and Jer 17:10 to this for context as the devils believe James 2:19. IE we can only '''believeth on Him'' by revelation from God / the Holy Spirit 1 Cor...

Rom 1:20 is pretty clear that you / we all have concluded on God because of natural theology. Discussing / studying the subject further would increase understanding of God.....not concluding there is a god.

This does not say salvation is a free gift. The free gift is salvation now being attainable. What was once unattainable is now attainable. Those who got themselves into Abrahams bosom in the OT could now be with God because of the free gift. IE We still need to have the same mind those in the...

What scripture says salvation is a free gift? It is unattainable. Without His grace those who work for it will not receive it.

A mosquito has taught us all how priceless peace is.

Very interesting subject. I was just thinking the other day how we are all in sin and go to bed knowing we deserve death / punishment. But we all wake up to a bright and warm sun on our face. Laughter of children. Great tasting food etc etc. We are all aware of God's grace and free will / the...

I agree with Stan's statement only because of the history with RJ. At the same time though I guess we should always be optimistic.
