    People really can read no bible; they can indeed chose not to read ANY of the versions.

    The Economy of the Covenants Between God and Man Vol. 1 by Herman Witsius

    Hello again! Just thought I would share another of the books that I have recently received (I promise this is the last one for a while lol) It is a 2 Volume set that traces every covenant in the Old and New Testament into one, consistent hermeneutic. I am very excited about this particular set...

    Dr. Philips is the senior minister at the Second Presbyterian Church in Greenville, SC! He has a whole set of these expository commentaries, and I was told that the one on Revelation was really good!

    Revelation: The Reformed Expository Commentary by Richard D. Phillips

    Hello everyone! Very excited to have received a NEW BOOK to my collection - if you know me, you know I love my book, and this one especially is one I am quite excited about. To be honest, I have thus far strayed away from any discussion on the book of Revelation due to honest ignorance, so I am...

    Eternal salvation vs daily service

    Firstly, I would like to thank you for the response! Believing in Christ is indeed a work - but I believe that it originates with God and His Spirit, not with man and his will. Personally yes, I do believe that the Spirit’s call cannot be resisted; when God calls, it is a call that cannot be...

    Eternal salvation vs daily service

    That… was quite unexpected I’ll admit lol. I believe that apart from the conviction of the Spirit, we would NEVER turn to Christ; men apart from regeneration of the Spirit are “DEAD in trespasses and sins.” And Dead men can’t “grab the life preserver” as many say. And interesting analogy to use...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I believe that is is our mission and duty as Christians to, for the rest of our lives, stomp out any selfish desires that remain within our carnal flesh, yes - and learn to become more and more like Christ as we travel the pilgrims road.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    It is absolutely true that to those whom more ability, knowledge, even wealth and prosperity - more is certainly required of them. Whether you believe like I that is is Gods predestination or not makes no difference - the end result is that those who are TRULY of the faith will show the fruit...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Honestly, a very common and real problem. There are certain doctrines that I believe are necessary to be counted amongst the children of God - BUT at the same time, as a professing reformed Presby, I also hold that it is God who will changed hearts, not me. I can share what I believe about ANY...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Honestly, even if I disagree, I think we can all agree Scripture calls us to yes, present the truth as we understand it, but also do it in such a way as to reflect Christ - Christ ate with those who were considered the outcast and filth of the world; I’m pretty sure that I can manage a civil...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Even if I personally do not agree with someone’s beliefs, I have more or less gotten to the point where I will explain what I believe, if you wanna ask me questions I am HAPPY to talk - but if it gets to full out argument, I’ll be honest I’ll most likely just ignore them lol. It is better to...

    Eternal salvation vs daily service

    I believe that salvation from beginning to end is the total and full work of God and that man can do nothing to save himself unless God gives him the eyes to see and ears to hear (is completely prepared to be verbally executed lol)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    So we HAVE started a “Hated for speaking the Truth” club! I’m disappointed I was not invited lol.

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Hello there! Firstly, I would like to thank you for coming and and asking questions! To be honest, the question you asked is a legitimate one - how CAN we be certain?! How do we know that our interpretation is the correct interpretation? The simple answer …. We can’t. And it is in fact...

    I (semi) return

    Hello again everyone! It’s been a moment or two since I was last here! Just wanted to say hello and that I (at least in part) have indeed returned to the site once again (Yes, the old Reformed Presbyterian is back at it again lol) Just wanted to say hi! I might not respond quickly as school...

    If OSAS is false, then what?

    This is basically what those who do not believe in OSAS are saying I can do. So why not?

    If OSAS is false, then what?

    So... why don't I just live however I want to, and then repent RIIIIIIIGHT at the end of my life?

    Adrian Rogers Shows Calvinism to Be FALSE

    This only refers to the people whose hearts God chooses to open. Ephesians 1:4-5 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the...
