Hyperbolic, yes. But hyperbolic for what? Lying and spiting venom are hyperbolic for being sinful. Are these hyperbolies for things that are pure and righteous? No. Are they hyperbolic for sinful and corrupt things? Yes, yes they are.

Psalms 58:3

No, because he knew them by their fruits. The child still had God's promises to the faithful believers upon it, and David trusted in these promises.

I'm Presbyterian, so.... where does that leave me in all this? I, too follow the Reformation

We know that David was saved, and He trusted God's blessing on his children as well. David truly believed that God had quickened the heart of his infant child. Unlike Arminianism, Reformed theology allows for such hope.

So, while you accept that God kills the righteous for doing nothing wrong, you somehow see a problem with Him not giving everyone a change at salvation? There is no such thing as an innocent life. Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one...

Creation cannot sin, therefore it is neither innocent nor guilty. People, however, CAN and DO sin. Did God lie in the garden when He said "In the day you eat thereof ye shall surely die." ? God does not take the lives of the innocent.... because none are innocent. If God took someones life for...

Some of us go light.... er. lol

..... just remember...

This also makes God a liar. The logic is as follows 1.) Babies are innocent 2.) We know some babies die in infancy 3.) Death is not a result of sin 4.) God told Adam that the only reason he would die is disobedience. God must have been lying to Adam, because God said the only reason for death...

This is not possible [and we both know it, this is for those who may be reading and just not wanting to comment] because we are told to be like God. To put it simply: 1.) Is it a good thing to be like God? - If yes, and God kills the righteous, should we not also kill the righteous? -...

1 Peter 1:16 -- Our holiness it to reflect His; meaning if He tells us not to take an innocent life, that is because God would never take an innocent life

You're assuming that every call is the 'special' call, or the 'irresistible' call. Not every reference to 'call' means the irresistible call.

Then why do you seem to have a problem saying that God rescues some and leaves others in their sins? If, according to you, God has the right to take the life of the righteous, how much more does He have the right to leave the wicked in their wicked ways?

EXACTLY! You see, you read this and say "HA! FREE WILL!" And yet, look the the result and see that this is not the free will you promote. Look at how these people had walked with and talked with God, seen miracles we can only dream of, been protected and guided by the Father Himself.... and...

1.) We only respond after our hearts are changed. If we are talking after our wills and hearts are changed, then yes we do do something. But until we are changed from the inside, we cannot and indeed will not do anything, no. 2.) Because they are still sinners. They are not in any means made...

We do not ignore the necessity. We just recognize that man in and of himself cannot and will not obey. Just because you cannot and will not obey does not make it any less necessary.

.... And I call my mom "my mother", doesn't mean that I am her. Your logic is flawed, and you are trying to push something on the gospel that isn't there. And you believe Jesus talked to Himself? Your god is schizo? Hmm..... actually explains quite a lot. Look, I know that you seem to be...

No, it is yes and no. Jesus is God, just as the Father is God, but they are separate personalities. Jesus talks to the Father may times in Scripture. Luke 22:42 -- Why would Jesus ask the Father to take something from Him if they are the same person? Matthew 6:5-15 -- Why would Jesus pray to...
