Yet, the Bible knows none of what you say.

Yes, Jesus is enough. He is preeminent.

The church is filled with people whose hearts and minds devoted to Him. The Catholic Church is not the church, Jesus was speaking of. I know this because Jesus said His church would prevail. You, know even the gates of hell, could not destroy it. But your church is dead. It is infested with...

Red color mine. Still speaking for God? Where in Armenia do you come from? Armenia - Wikipedia I'm quite familiar with what you propose to believe in. I believe it is heresy, but recognize you have freedom to believe whatever you wish. The 'Openness of God' and the Future of Evangelical...

I get this a lot. We think that God has operate in our realm, instead of vice-versa. Arminians need to answer a similar question. If God is omniscient (and He is) Why does He allow people, whom he knows, will never be saved to be born? Is He not powerful enough to prevent those births...

In all my years as a Christian I have never heard of a person who throws out scripture because they don't like what it teaches. If Dr. Walter Martin was still alive, I'd refer you. I miss him. The Kingdom of the Cults: Walter Martin: 9780764227448: Amazon.com: Books Many prayers for you and...

Are you questioning my salvation? The Bible teaches that we are all born in sin and therefore not capable of accepting the gospel. Romans 5:12English Standard Version (ESV) Death in Adam, Life in Christ 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and...

The Apostle Paul instructed Christians and how to interact with each other. Because it is holy scripture, I follow it and suggest you do the same. Titus 3:9-11New American Standard Bible (NASB) 9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they...

That is your conclusion and of course, I disagree. Nevertheless scripture supports me. John 15:16: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name...

Here is a lesson in communication. When you respond to a person, you are, in fact name-calling. Another message from the Apostle Paul: Colossians 4:5-6English Standard Version (ESV) 5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech always be gracious...

I'm still waiting for anyone to show any verse in the Bible that says people have free will unto salvation. Since, as Augustine believed, and the Bible teaches, we are chosen before the foundation of the world, there really isn't any question of what an elect person will or will not accept...

The verse in Matthew is not a contradiction. And, the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen (2 Timothy 4:18). Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before...

You misunderstand. It's not what I believe in, it's what the Bible says. And that is why I believe it. I hardly need the help of mere men. Ephesians 2:8-10 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God. Yes, the Bible says that salvation is...

"Dishonest" "Moronic" If I may make a comment. I've never found that name-calling is a correct debate method. It does not honor the scriptures. In fact, it violates them. 1 Corinthians 3:3King James Version (KJV) 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife...

You are of course entitled to your opinion. I don't share it, but that is the nature of apologetics. I hear this a lot, but I consider it more Catholic tradition trying to change sola scriptura. Let's clear this up first. Paul did not write 1 or 2 Peter. Peter did. His audience were the...

brionne, I accept that what you believe is what you choose to believe. It's unlikely that I will change your mind given the scripture I provided. But it's not personal. I'm very sure that you are a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. God Bless!

Respectfully, I don't make up any private interpretation from the Bible. I believe what the Bible teaches regarding salvation. It says we were chosen before the foundation of the world. I have already provided the scripture. I'm well aware of the trifecta Arminians and others use in an...

I don't see a problem here. The elect choose life, the others do not. This is completely in keeping with other scripture. I particularly love this verse in Deuteronomy. But of course, we know the outcome. John 6:37 - All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me...

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. The Bible teaches that one cannot lose their salvation: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17). But, God commendeth his love toward...

Quote snipped. John Calvin didn't dream up the assurance of salvation, the scriptures teach it. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17). But, God commendeth his love...
