Yes,,,well my point to him, if he wanted to understand it...was that he's sooooo intelligent that NO ONE here will EVER be able to reach his standards! LOL I didn't notice that he was atheist. So, yes, unless one comes here to seek....there's no point. It was rather rude to insult just about...

Because you said that the other member was wasting his life or something like that. I don't consider being here a waste of time. (I might have misunderstood you?) It wasn't necessary for you to respond to the above....this was meant ONLY for the other member. Sorry.

OK. I don't really understand how anyone could go to the NT with an open mind and come away believing what, for instance, MacArthur teaches. My experience is that I DID seek God and He replied things that worked - and in a way that I could NOT, in the future, attribute them to me or my power...

I wonder what you mean by grace. What would you say, then, to persons that are saved but have never read the bible? I think you mean something I'm not understanding. God dispenses His grace through many means. Going to worship, for instance....a service or a Mass. Being baptized is a...

@ElectedbyHim page 2 of 2 Right. God gave them the right to become children of God. TO THOSE THAT RECEIVED HIM. TO THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN HIS NAME. What was the jailer told in Acts 16? Believe in Jesus and you will be saved. BELIEVE. This is an action word which is on the side of the...

Exactly. It's all in the HOW verses are understood, and scripture in general. I believe the full idea is that man is born sinful and requires a Savior. Jesus is that Savior. Where we part is in the HOW man takes advantage of this wonderful opportunity of salvation. YOU believe a person is...

LOL That's pretty funny. I speak 3 languages...I think I know about this. Besides the fact that culture also effects what words mean. I've got another one for you: What does THIS mean: I NEVER SAID YOU STOLE MONEY. I'm not in middle school M,,,I think we could proceed. Amen. And one of my...

This is also for @Matthias I don't think people sit around on a forum all day and do nothing else. IF they do,,,,it means there's a reason and then we should be thankful that a forum is available for them. It's too bad you didn't find anyone at your level of intelligence here. There are some...

Great post Victory! Happy I got this alert....

Yes. God directs our steps.... But do we listen? TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.... LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING... IN ALL YOUR WAY ACKNOWLEDGE HIM... AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH. Proverbs 3 So,,,do we always listen? Do we always take the path the Lord directs us to? God...

Just saw this. I'll reply to the first 3: Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” Every Christian will agree that before salvation the above is absolutely true. But, notice, it states nothing about not being ABLE to seek God...

Good morning Elected, I'm only on this one....I could only handle one at a time. Safe zones have their place. Persons could speak without being disturbed by those that do not agree. I think it must surely get boring at times....but a member could always begin a thread in an open forum so it's...

It's really later here and this will have to wait till tomorrow morning. Just 2 quick points: 1. I don't know Arminius or what he taught so it's not right to define a person with a title they don't even understand. I do know that he used to be reformed, but that's all I know. 2. If you agree...

Hey Elected Whatcha doin' here? Must get boring in those safe zones?? All of the above could be explained away easily.....no problem. We all know that man is born lost and is tainted with the sin nature. BUT Where, in your above posts,,,does it state that man is so depraved as to be unable...

Agreed. Confessions will always have scripture listed at the end of each paragraph. When I say that something is not biblical, I don't mean that the verse cannot be found in the bible. What I mean is that the way reformed understand the verses is totally different than the way all of the other...

RN My conversation with you is over. You are an angry and uncivil person and all you do is repeat the same verses over and over without ever responding to mine. You demean persons and insult them. About 80% of the reformed/calvinists I've posted to are like this. There is no further reason to...

Absolutely. I have ended conversations many times because the matter was becoming argumentative. Sounds good to me. You have another post....

I don't do eisegesis. I don't know what a dispensationalist is and I don't care to know. You make statements that put you in the reformed/calvinist camp. If you're not calvinist, then please explain to me WHY we're having this conversation? WHY do you even bring up Romans 9 which is the...

Agreed. Would you say the aorist is a tense?

But WHY would ANY book have to be written IF Calvinism is correct? IF God is going to just predestinate EVERYTHING,,,,,won't everything happen just as God wants anyway? IF it's God that predestinates everything,,,,HE will determine whether or not we live a godly life. By predestination we mean...
