This is assuming that God will not choose to open the eyes of some sinners who read this, and use this as His tool to lead them to the acknowledging of the truth.

Here is a simple question: Do we need the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts before we have faith? I would say yes, absolutely. This is where my belief comes from. There are a few questions that need looked at from Scriptures before we can make a Biblical determination: 1.) How bad is man...

Absolutely amazing book. Rushdoony is a very solid theologian. 5 stars from me. I might have to post a few excerpts from Biblical Law on here as well... it's been too long since I've picked it up and read from it.

By R.J. Rushdooney? Love that book. In my top 10 favorites of all time.

Indeed he is! And his first and foremost concern in every chapter is the Word of God... so enriching!

I have been really enjoying reading through the Institutes of the Christian Religion. It has been a very soul fulfilling and enjoyable just sitting back with my Bible and the Institutes and just reading through. Reading about the divinity of Christ and the Trinity has been especially amazing...

Depends on what grace you are talking about. There is common grace, which yes is given to all men. But there is also a special grace, which the Lord reserves for His chosen people only. ~ 1 Peter 2:9 ~ Ephesians 1:4 ~ Romans 8:28 ~ 1 Timothy 2:4 ~ John 6:44 ~ 2 Timothy 1:9 ~ John 6:37 ~ Titus...

Saul the OT King, not Saul who became Paul. Paul was most certainly a Christian.

This is speaking of a very specific sin; the sin of denouncing the truth after claiming to accept it. This passage is showing that if a man denounces the faith, he never had it to begin with. This is not in any way saying we need to keep up our own salvation. Again, this is talking about the...

Actually, Calvin did not hold to this at all as far as I know. I have read through his institutes, and time and again he mentions that the blood of Christ could have been efficacious for all, if Christ had planned for it to be. He does not to my knowledge say that it is efficacious for all...

So, what you are saying is the you are the author and finisher of your faith?

So, everyone will be in heaven, then?

Man's death is not enough, because that death is not a perfect death; it does not correct anything. It was the punishment, not the solution

So... in essence what you are saying is that man pays for his own sins and is his own savior. There is only one Savior and one mediator. Man's physical death is not enough to satisfy God's wrath against sin. To say this is to say that every person who dies will be in Heaven. God told Adam that...

How can sin-filled mankind be reconciled when his sin is not taken care of in the eyes of the just God? God made it clear; sin and sinners cannot dwell in His presence.

If the point of the cross was not to settle man's debt of sin, what was the point of the cross? The Scriptures are littered with references to the Cross being for the payment of sin. This would be work's righteousness, stating that you are saved based on the actions you take. We are saved only...

Nope. He said believe and you will be saved because Paul [not the jailer] knew that if a man does believe it is only because God has given him this faith. He said "Believe"; this does not instantly mean that the faith required to believe is of him. This is your premise: 1.) Paul told the jailer...

You've begun a new habit... post some cute cartoons and then run. Could you please reconcile the two following verses for us all? Thanks. John 6:44 44“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; John 14:6 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no...
