Hi DrBubbaLove,I really appreciate the way you thoroughly discussed my thouhgts and quotes and referred to them directly in your reply!That makes for such good communication. I wish everyone on this Board would Reply that way.Yes, I have three children and six grandchildren, and I have no...

Hi thesuperjag,My understanding of this Christian Message Board is that we are a congregation, as it were, who meet together occasionally to discuss the Bible and, specifically, the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His incredible work of Salvation.Those discussions we have with one another...

Hi thesuperjag,"Most men going to hell" from your reply does not mean God's plan failed unless you are insistent in believing what you want to believe instead of what God's Word has revealed. I can see why you want all men to be saved. I understand you thinking that. That would fit your picture...

Hi Wayne,Your statement "There is no limited atonement" fits the picture you want of God in your own mind. It does not square with Christ's infinite merit in His atoning death.Here are just a few of the benefits obtained by Christ in His death for His people whom the Father has given to him...

(haanne;39519) According to scripture, If a man marries and he or his wife commit adultery ,than this is grounds for divorce. But what constitutes adultery? What if the Manwoman re-marry, does this make them and their new spouses adulterers? I heard a sermon on the subject and would love your...

Hi kriss,Your words:"Wayne could you explain where you are drawing your conclusion that had he acted as God Satan would have won."Sure, I am happy to explain that truth.You will recall that Satan tempted Jesus in three ways to act as God by (1) turning stones into bread, (2) by throwing Himself...

Hi thesuperjag,Your words:"If Christ didn't die for all humankind, then the death of Christ is in vain. It is just a shame for people to believe the Word of God is in vain..."It is just the reverse to what you said above. If Christ's death was for ALL human kind, and most are going to hell, THEN...

Hi Alanforchrist,Your words:"As for God giving faith to believe, God has given everyone the freewill to believe and except the truth, those that do will be saved.".God has not given everyone the freewill to believe. If that's so, then you'll have to answer these questions:1) Is God's will...

Hi Alanforchrist,Your words:"Even if Jesus was speaking to the elect, [which He wasn't]He has included the ones who will believe v20, Note, Jesus didn't say "The ones that I choose", But, the believer."And how did you come to be a believer? Do you think it's a work that you did for God? You can...

Hi Peacebewithyou,Your words:"Why do you claim to know what's in a person's heart when he prays???"It sure would be nice if you would explain to me where you ever got that idea from.In every reply I make, in every post I make, I base it on God's word and reference it to God's Word so that we can...

Hi holdencaufield,I have included your statement so that I'll be sure to stay on topic and reply to this point exactly.No we don't, we believe that through faith and good works one is saved. One can not be saved without the other. I wonder if you are saying that salvation comes to a soul by that...

Hi DrBubbaLove,I have included your Scripture reference below so that I may comment on it clearly."John 20:22-23 And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye...

Hi holdencaufield,On the matter of confessing our sins to another, that is found in James 5:16a, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed"Notice the connection between confession of sin and healing as a result of that confession.James is not...

Hi Shan Missions,This is a big question you asked, here, for sure!I can give you a quote to show you where Jesus apparently baptized His apostles with the Holy Spirit, but I will have to add that there is some mystery about this topic in my mind.This takes place after Jesus' Resurrection. John...

Hi DrBubbaLove, Below is a Paste from your previous Post that I must disagree with because it does not square with the Bible. Let's see if we can get this point clear between us. "Yet at birth and in this life, there is still something good in all of us. And yes of course that varies, but the...

Hi Denver,"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.'In your words above, I am most interested in "but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any...

Hi DrBubbaLove,I read all the Scripture quotes you listed, and I'm acquainted with all of them. But, you know, I have a problem with the Bible's use of that word "righteous" or "righteousness" when it is applied to those you and I would agree are sinners. I'm embarking on a study of that very...

Hi DrBubbaLove,Thank you for the time you took to put together your thoughtful response. Yes, I see you were thinking of the "term" total depravity and not the "condition" of fallen man. Agreed!"I said in context the verses you quoted regarding righteousness, as in "none are" cannot mean that no...

Hi Wayne,Using very large fonts in bold colors shows anger, rather than a gentle willingness to discuss. I only have one comment on your reply. Any of "what"? Of All men?Or any of All God's elect. The New Testament says any of God's elect, so you'll have to shout at God if you don't like His...

Hi DrBubbaLove,Total depravity in not a modern term. It may be new to you, but it's as old as the Bible.Abraham was an idolater who worshiped the moon before God revealed Himself to him.Moses was a murderer who killed an Egyptian slave master and had to flee from Egypt for his life. He also...
