    Romans 8

    Part 2 Romans 8:6 -- The wisdom of the flesh brings nothing but death; this again puts to rest the mythological “Free-will choice”. The flesh produces nothing but death, and cannot please God. Ephesians 2:1-3 Colossians 2:13 Mark 7:21-23 John 3:19 Romans 8:7-8 1 Corinthians 2:14...

    Romans 8

    Challenge Accepted. Part 1 Romans 8:1 -- There is no condemnation for those who walk after Christ. If a person walks after Christ, it is the result of the Spirit, not of the person themselve John 3:5-7 John 1:12-13 Genesis 6:5 Genesis 8:21 John 8:44 Ephesians 2:1-2 Romans 8:2 -- The...

    @justbyfaith .... So, have you even dealt with any of these verses, or are we going to try and bury them? I answer each and every text of Scripture you direct at me, and if you've read the entire Bible multiple times you should have no problem explaining these verses. And remember, each verse...

    I am sorry.

    All is forgiven, brother. All we care about is the rightful dividing of the Word of God. It takes a lot of strength to admit when you are wrong; I applaud you. Please, if you would like to have a discussion, where we deal with and let the Word of God correct us, I am sure we are still more than...

    But you yourself said that each verse can stand as its own truth; why does context suddenly matter?

    So.... I guess these verses are not going to be dealt with?

    Really? Let's find out: Spiritual Deadness: Genesis 2:16-17 Romans 5:12 Ephesians 2:1-3 Colossians 2:13 Psalms 51:5 Psalms 58:3 John 3:5-7 John 1:12-13 Warped minds and Corrupted hearts: Genesis 6:5 Genesis 8:21 Ecclesiastes 9:3 Jeremiah 17:9 Mark 7:21-23 John 3:19 Romans 8:7-8 1 Corinthians...

    That is wonderful to hear! I remember clearly reading and marking in one of the books, and asking the pastor his thoughts, and the discussions we had, about salvation and Christ and anything else I could think of, and that was the point I could tell that God was truly in control. He had saved...

    1.) Calvin and the Reformers are the ones God used to bring me to faith. I attended an Arminian church for most of my life, and got nothing out of it. At all. They preached "Choose Jesus" every Sunday morning and Evening, and at every singe Bible study on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I was...

    Would it not also be the Christian thing to do to take the Scriptures as a whole and treat them with the respect and dignity they demand, rather than using verses without any regard for their context or the rest of Scriptures? Should a Christian not want to know what the whole of Scriptures...

    It seems as though Arminians are not trying to defend God, but rather defend man. They not concerned with God and His attributes; instead the whole focus of their theology is making it so that they have a way to save themselves; or more specifically they seek a 'justifiable' way to put place...

    Sorry... took a little mini-internet vacation to edify my soul. I'm here!

    A person is saved because God choose to change their hearts, not because they chose to. I am saved by Gods grace completely, not by anything in me that I did or chose. God granted me faith, and granted me other graces, and this is why I am saved. But no, I am not saved because I did anything or...

    1.) Our hearts and minds need changed before we can do any "accepting" God first works His work of grace on our hearts, changing us on the inside so that our hearts of stone are replaced with a heart of flesh, and we want to serve Him. He then changes our wills, making us want to choose to...

    Well, no. God changes our hearts, and makes us willing to choose Him, but we would never do so on our own. And our choice could never save us, because it was all from God. Only God's grace, only Christ's blood can save us. Do you see how fallen Arminianism is, that no matter what you say in...

    Without unconditional Election,no one would be saved.

    I do believe that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. I just believe it is God who works this power in us, not ourselves. I do not believe that reading the Scriptures will do anything to anyone unless God first effects them and opens their eyes. I am not denying the power of the...

    And through all of this you deal with exactly 0 of the verses I provided.

    1.) Yes. But here is the problem; man in his natural state hates God and hates His word; man cannot of himself come to God Ephesians 2:1-3 Genesis 6:5 Genesis 8:21 Ecclesiastes 9:3 Jeremiah 17:9 John 3:19 1 Corinthians 2:14 Ephesians 4:17-19 Titus 1:15 We are enslaved to Satan from birth...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    Romans 5:2 is talking about believers. Not about every person on the planet. The book was written to believers and for believers. But we've already discussed this and told you this multiple times, and yet the only way to "defend" this belief is to pretend you didn't hear us and continue to pull...
