Idea I already have about what?

I still have absolutely no idea what you are asking or what you are even talking about.

I don't understand the question. Those who have been taught or read the Bible and believed.

That is not quite true. The Calvinist believe that God simply chose, before creation and totally independent from anything having to do with the individual, but rather based only on his own "good pleasure" who He would select be among the "elect". They change the meaning of the Greek word...

That a statement to where the stuff came from is not given or not acknowledged as having come from God, does not dispute or negate the reality or truth of the big bang.

Rom 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined...... Those are obviously, according to verse 30, destined for heaven.

It does say who was predestinated in verse 28. Specifically, it is they who love God. It is they who are called. Verses 29 and 30 then describe God's procedure for His calling them.

I have no idea what you are talking about. We will in the next age have absolute, though perhaps still incomplete, knowledge of and about God. It will then not be a matter of faith. We will then see him as He is. Yes, and the members of that kingdom are those who, having no direct knowledge...

As Adam was wandering about in the garden he noticed the other animals pairing up. He asked God to create a mate for him as He had done for the rest of the animals. God spoke to Adam saying something to the effect that He would create a mate for Adam that would be his faithful helper in every...

You seriously think that God could not easily prove anything and everything about Himself if He had intended that? But if He had done that, the need for or the effectiveness of faith would have all been moot. Clearly, God is seeking the faithful to be those chosen as members of His kingdom.

And that is really all that I had in mind; I was not addressing anything relative to the efficacy of the cross. . Traducianism is the belief that our spirits come not from God but through our parents at birth and carry the stigma of our parents fallen condition over to us, thus making us...

That is simply false. The doctrine of traducianism which you adhere to is simply false. God does not and would not impute the sin of one to another. To do so would be the grossest of injustice. God gave us an entire chapter in Ezekiel to dispute that false doctrine. And there are a number of...

And I also took Greek in bible college, have Greek parsing guides and dictionary books and online tools and some of the renowned Greek scholars. I take your woeful accusations as irrelevant and inane. I admit that my college years were longer ago than I care to think about. However, one of...

Your transliteration of the Greek word proginosko is much like the Catholic transliteration of the Greek word baptidzo meaning to immerse to somehow interpret it to mean pour or sprinkle. It is simply wrong. Biblical translation/interpretation is not about transliteration. The Greek word...

Just one more falsehood promoted by Calvinism/Reformed Theology. Without free will, there could be no sin. To sin is a choice. If sin is not a choice, then it is God who causes the sin. That cannot be. God's righteousness is absolute; He cannot cause anyone to sin.

The Greek word for foreknow is προγινώσκω [proginōskō]. It is made of a combination of the two Greek words "pro" and "ginosko". The word "pro" means before. The word "ginosko" means "to know". It means to know before. There is nothing about either words or the combination that can be...

In truth, you cannot prove anything about God, Jesus, the gospel, etc. God has made that a certainty. If He wanted us to be able to prove anything about Him, He could have done that quite easily; but, He did not. He has made everything known about Himself conditioned upon faith. He has, by...

Yes, it is almost universally a waste of time, but who knows, perhaps it might one day help a brother to see the light.

That is the definition. But once again, the Calvinist in you has to make up other meanings to make it fit your weird theology. I don't actually know what the definition will be in the next century, but in this century and all previous centuries foreknowledge means and has always meant...

Omniscience is past present and future. God's foreknowledge is that aspect of His omniscience as it applies to the future. And I did support it from the Bible. 1 Peter 1-2 says you are wrong. God's chosen people, His elect, and their predestination are according to His foreknowledge...
