Nothing about a door or a key here.... and we have already dealt with this verse multiple times, giving you the Biblical interpretation of it in context of both the chapter and the rest of Scripture. So this is it? You whole theology about man's place before God's power built on this one verse...

Again, read the context and who he is talking to. This verse shows the power of God in salvation, that He can take men such as these and change their hearts and make them willing. The natural man is indeed rebellious; this is why irresistable grace is needed. We are all this man, running from...

No. This is why we need to look at the whole of the Scriptures to find the answer. And when we do, we find: Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? Genesis 6:5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and...

1.) The Holy Spirit is God, just as much as the Father is God. Acts 7:51 clearly teaches why grace must be irresistible. While it is true that those in Acts 7:51 resisted the Holy Spirit, the text clearly states that the people in question had "uncircumcised" hearts and ears. Circumcised in...

And as an Arminian it doesn't matter to you; Christ's blood would be worthless unless you made it work. we could do sticks and stones all day, but it seems to me that only people who agree 100% with the God you believe in is true.

I am not convaluting the meaning. For at least the 10th time, I am not contradicting you, SCRIPTURE is contradicting you. I believe every word of what this verse says. It is talking to those who already were given the gift of faith from the Holy Spirit, telling them that by this faith given by...

Depends on what Jesus you claim to love and trust.... It must be the Jesus that is set forth in the Holy Scriptures, otherwise it is not Jesus at all.

..... Ok, I'll bite. What exactly is the point of this?

And the Lord replied, "I would love to, but I can't! There free will.... it is too powerful. They have to choose me first!" Even you contradict your theology unless you consciously keep it up

Here is the major issue with anyone believing you: 1.) We have time and again shown that your "plain" Scripture is actually your misinterpretation of verses by taking them out of context. I have especially shown you this by pointing out that your theology is contradicted within the same chapter...

Read Romans 12:3. We are told God has allotted each of us a measure of faith. Which means that we only have as much faith as God by His grace has given us. If God chooses not to give faith to some, He is just in doing so. Again, on what ground does God owe anyone, much less everyone, His grace...

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:1-22 And you were...

I just refuse to treat the bible like a personal belief buffet; picking out the verses from context that suit my beliefs.... I can't do that. But apparently it doesn't bother you. Obviously, Scripture isn't enough for you; You have to add your feelings with it too. I'll be back tomorrow to...

Again, look up a few verses and you will see he is talking to a church that is going astray, saying either accept Christ into the churches doors, or don't call yourselves a church. Has nothing to do with the nonregenerate, which topples the entire rest of the argument. God is not a gentleman, He...

Yes it does! You are saying "Christ gives them authority", the verse says it is either of Him or it is nothing.

And each one of those verses that you are trying to build your theology around I showed where Scripture contradicts you. It's not that Scripture isn't telling you that you are wrong, it is that you don't want to listen to what it says. That's your problem. ~ John 1:12 -- READ THE NEXT VERSE...

Context, Context, CONTEXT! Wow, you can pull these verses straight out of context and make them say anything you want. ~ John 1:12 -- READ THE NEXT VERSE!!! The Will of GOD causes them to receive Him. They were born again of the will of God, not of themselves. And after He rebirthed them, then...

So, we are given the same exact blessing that the Apostles were when they wrote the Scriptures? Again, explain. Just saying nope does nothing. Give me example of a time when I did not use a passage either a few verses behind of or in front of a verse that you were pulling out of context.

The difference is that the original writer were inspired of God, and could take certain liberties that we cannot because they had a special guidance that we do not have. I will say it again; I am not the one contradicting you; THE SCRIPTURES are contradicting you. All I do is literally read a...

It is because every single verse they attempt to use is always contradicted or explained at least within the chapter they are quoting from Feelings theology will forever be based on loose interpretations of 2 or 3 verses that can be explained simply by continuing to read, and by piles upon...
