    The third way (Arminianism v Calvinism)

    Dear GodsGrace, Your understanding of those verses is processed through your the "works base belief system" that you have. Christ is the Savior and does all the works of saving a person. In this age, Christ is ONLY saving the people who have been chosen for an early salvation. The are the...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear God'sGrace, So presenting you scripture is not a reasonable reply? Like most apostate believers, your beliefs do not come from God's Word. They come from the reasonings of the carnal mind and from the teachings of the apostate church which came into this world near end of the 1st...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear Dan Clarkston, You don't understand the process of conversion that Christ will perform within mankind to save us. All mankind is condemned already because of sin. The penalty of sin is death (not eternal torment in literal fire as some believe). But because of God's grace, Christ will...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear marks, No, the scriptures that I just posted can be literally understood and they clearly say that Christ will save all mankind. You just don't have enough faith to believe them. Also, you don't understand conversion. Conversion requires the death of any person who sins and has become a...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear marks, Here is John 1:9 with a proper translation: John 1:9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. Christ is the light (truth) of the world and every man will see His truth - but only after Christ reveals Himself to them. For this to occur, Christ must...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear Behold, Scripture does not support what you stated. When an unbeliever is presented the Gospel, they are going to think it is foolishness unless Christ has given them the Holy Spirit beforehand. Also, if I cut and paste anything into my posts, they are only things that I have written...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear Behold, A person can only have faith (and trust) in Christ after Christ (from His own choosing) gives the person the Early Rain of the Spirit. 1Cor 12:3 Wherefore 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...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear Behold, But when is a person "born again"? The new birth only happens after Christ (by His own choosing) has given an Elect person both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, followed by judgment. This is called "conversion" and is when the new birth occurs. After a person is...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear GodsGrace, Here are a few scriptures: Prov 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. Prov 20:24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: but still it begins with a verse, or verses, because it starts there and builds from there. Yes, truth is built "line upon line" and "precept upon precept". Truth's foundation is Christ and Him crucified, which is the milk of the word. After a believer is...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, Below is my comparison on Christ & the freewoman/Satan & the bondwoman. I will present it in a simple narrative way without much scripture so that it will be easier to understand. I'm confident that you know the scriptures from which my statements are founded upon. Here...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, I wanted to do a follow up post on the verse that I recently discovered. 1Cor 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. You know that truth is taught "here a little...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, I didn't think that you were literally seeing Jesus. From your comments in the first paragraph, I'm still not sure you are understanding what I meant when I said that when Christ heals a person's spiritual blindness, Christ will appear to that person. What I am saying is...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear Behold, Yes, Christ's words are spirit and they carry meanings that are different than what man's wisdom teaches (1Cor2:13). However, a person can READ the spiritual teachings of Christ but it does take "eyes that can see". In other words, Christ must heal a person's spiritual blindness...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: Reminds me of most that encountered Jesus. Like the woman who the disciples were angry saying the ointment could have been sold to feed the poor. and Jesus Christ told them to leave her alone for this she did—-anointing him for his burial—would be spoken of as a...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, I just mentioned this verse to you in my previous post. Amazing! Thank your husband for me. Joe

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, Take a look again at what Paul said below: Philemon 1:10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: Paul is again stating that he has birthed a child of God. I didn't notice this verse earlier. It is more conformation that Paul, as the bride of...

    How can anyone fall for the errors of Calvinism ?

    Dear ScottDowney, Your understanding of the spiritual teachings of Christ is carnal. The carnal teachings of the Old Covenant are outward and they happen in the world where human eyes can see them. The spiritual teachings of the New Covenant are inward and they happen within a person where...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, I found a second witness to what Paul said about his birthing children of God. 3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. It seems that John also understood that he is Christ's wife who is birthing children. I'll keep studying; there...

    How is the Woman saved through childbirth?

    Dear VictoryinJesus, I am seriously considering what you stated about the marriage analogy and that it includes the bride giving birth to children of God. Though it is not taught in the major teachings on the marriage analogy (like the parable of the Ten Virgins and Rev chapter 19), what Paul...
