    Your last sentence has to do with TOTAL DEPRAVITY and IRRESISTIBLE GRACE You say man is unable to come to God on his own. You say man cannot resist God's grace for salvation. Post some verses that support the above. And, as soon as you post one insult... I will not be responding to you...

    Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church?

    This is a deep topic SS....if you've noticed I've come to refrain from very serious topics because I get push-back and it makes me feel unloved.... o_O YOU have gotten upset with me for saying the following: Christians are required to believe the Trinity. I'd say that this is going over the...

    How is that possible? Reformed theology teaches that everything is decreed by God...nothing happens unless God decreed it to happen. Piper says that even the molecules in the air are governed by the will of God. Now how does that square with the OT? Throughout the OT God admonishes His people...

    How could that be if the rapture doesn't exist? A donde' esta??

    The Covenants of Israel

    Of course, you're being sarcastic. This could be done in either of 2 methods....I'm not going to do either. 1. Explain the Trinity 2. Show how Jesus is God from scripture. The early fathers of the church...the Apostolic Fathers, the early theologians pondered this for a couple of hundred...

    Just checking in before dinner and won't be back till later. Yes. A statement would be nice. Calvinists really don't believe in free will, so hearing your understanding of it would be good. You seem to be a "soft" calvinist. When did man lose his free will? Did he ever even have it in the...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    The Covenants of Israel

    Insomuch as we can't understand everything about God perfectly....we can say that it's somewhat of a mystery. But it can be understood...it's not a total mystery that is incomprehensible. Good! These people are crazy... and they're all over.

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    No questions MatthewG. I did want to know if you changed your avatar. I might be getting you mixed up with a different member.

    The Covenants of Israel

    Well C,,,we agree on something. Good. Since we can agree that there's no rapture in scripture.... MAYBE one day you'll understand the Trinity. It's not that difficult and there's maybe some mystery to it, but not much. When are you getting rid of that dumb Prime Minister you have?

    I guess God could do whatever He wants to do. But I also think God is not a liar. John was with Jesus over 3 years. They must have spoken about many things during that time that are not even in the gospels...in fact I do believe John said this. John 21:25 So,,, if John says that in God there...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    Did you change your avatar? Did I state anything about the Trinity making anybody right with God? Is my English waning? Could you PLEASE read my post again and MAYBE you could reply to my actual post instead of to what you THINK I posted. I think it's vitally important that you understand...

    zzzzzzzzzzz Well, actually, the rapture IS NOT in the bible. But I think our "conversation" is over.

    What does the dispensation of God mean? I'm going to use this meaning: The Greek word (oikonomia) so translated signifies primarily, a stewardship, the management or disposition of affairs entrusted to one. To be the steward of something means to take care of something. To manage means to make...

    The Covenants of Israel

    This is your reply to my post 28? But I thought you wanted to have a conversation? No problem. Just let's make sure we understand that there's NO COVENANT called the Covenant of Grace EXCEPT in reformed circles. It's proper name is: THE NEW COVENANT.

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    This came up when I posted REPLY. So, according to you....a person can believe whatever they want to and still be called a Christian. You say we are not to care about doctrine. Is it OK if we don't believe in the resurrection? If a man accepts everything, then he believes in nothing. (not...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    Hello to you.... Did you not read my post? Here's part of what I stated: You could believe whatever you wish to believe and I'm not here to judge you or anyone else. However, If you don't believe in the Trinity....what makes you think you're a Christian? You see M,,,it's the rest of my post...

    The Confessions are all basically the same...but if you agree with the Westminster...OK. I've told you many times what I find disturbing about the reformed faith, also referred to as Calvinism. I find all of the 5 points disturbing. They're predicated on the fact that: 1. Man is born...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    Here's an answer for you: If Jesus is God and you don't believe He is, How will He judge you when the time comes? I don't know that anyone can answer this question with any certainty. God is to be worshipped. If Jesus is God you should be worshipping Him. And if He's not God....WHAT IS...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    Oh. Well, then let me say this. You could believe whatever you wish to believe and I'm not here to judge you or anyone else. However, If you don't believe in the Trinity....what makes you think you're a Christian? This is not to say that your not saved or born again. Doctrine won't save...
