Go ahead. Show me the verse where it says YOU are saved by Christ's blood.

You are correct. There is no way to prove that I am one of the elect... just as there is no way to prove that Jesus was God, or that His Blood is effective to save, or that the salvation promised in the Scriptures is applicable to you. The Bible is a book of faith from cover to cover. If any of...

Please prove to me anything that the Bible says. This "show me the proof" mentality is the exact same ploy that the Atheist uses to try and discredit God. Please prove to me that you are saved by the blood of Christ. There is no physical proof for that, and there is no verse that directly states...

As the Scriptures state, God does not choose based on faith; faith is the result of Him choosing, not the cause. God's choice is not based on foreseen faith. Faith is the result of and not the cause for election. The Acts of the Apostles 13:48 The Acts of the Apostles 18:27 Philippians 1:29...

So, You're opinions are supposed to be taken as on par with the Scriptures I provided? I think not. You provided one verse, without taking the time to deal with the many many verses throughout the entire Scriptures which support what I am saying; it is clear which one of us has the Biblical...

Verses stating that election was not based on foreseen faith Romans 9:11-13 Romans 9:16 Romans 10:20 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 2 Timothy 1:9 God's choice is not based on foreseen faith. Faith is the result of and not the cause for election. The Acts of the Apostles 13:48 The Acts of the Apostles...

And you claim this with absolutely 0 Scripture to back up anything you are saying; we are all supposed to take what you are saying at face value. What is being said is that, thought God has His reasons, and "does whatsoever He wills" [Psalms 115:3]. ~ Yes, God has chosen a peculiar people...

Of course not, but that is getting off topic. So, you refuse to believe because of lack of evidence? Firstly, I should say that I am of a quite different persuasion than many of the Christians you have encountered. I believe that the Scriptures are very clear when they say that 1.) There is...

So you are saying that you don't believe in anything?

If you cannot prove that God does not exist, then no one should be a scientist. For example, your claim is based on the preconceived notion that our belief in God will alter our views of Science. And yet, since there is no way to disprove God, I could say the same thing about Atheists; that...

... The Reformers were all Calvinistic. Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Melanchton [for a time], Knox [Founder of the Presbyterian Church] All of them were Calvinistic. And might I also say I know all of the other Reformed believers on this site are 1.) Concerned first and foremost with what the...

ie. Scripture.

Then why does it not say that "to all it has been granted? Again, then why does the passage not say what you are implying? I simply let the verse speak for itself; YOU are the one who read into it "Well, it doesn't say that it's not for all, so...." I just read what the verse said; nothing...

If any of this were taught in Scriptures, I would be inclined to agree. However, it is not. Not only does Scripture deny this 'Christ died for all', but simple logic suffices to see this as well [though, Scriptures are enough for me] Scriptures: Belief is granted to men. If the point of the...

Largely because the Calvinistic boards don't need evangelizing

None of those verses say that you are God, nor that you are perfect of that you are the Word incarnate, so none of them prove what you are saying. And notice that you quote Jesus, who again; Is God, the Word Incarnate, and Perfect. Are you honestly saying that you are God just like Christ was...

Again, there is a huge difference between you and Jesus. ~ Jesus was God incarnate, you are not ~ Jesus was the Word incarnate, you are not ~Jesus was perfect, you are not. Jesus was the Word made flesh, therefore even if he did 'paraphrase' the prophets, it was because every word that came...

And you are speaking against the fact that this brother does indeed have the Spirit living within, claiming that you have the truth and we do not. You are using the truth more like the Pharisees did than Jesus, which is dangerous ground to tread.
