Well you were given some bad teaching. The apostle John wrote "These things are written that you may know you have eternal life". If you trust Jesus death and resurrection as the full payment for your sin debt, then you are saved. Doubts and fears can and will arise, but these are attacks...

Well pondering all the what ifs that Scripture doesn't reveal is an exercise in futility. Let me quote Jesus: 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and...

The problem I see is you are overreaching! No one here (but you) is talking about reformed theology, but merely what are called the five points or TULIP. True they are part of reformed theology but just a part. As for Piper-- well Scripture does say that god holds all things by the Word of...

Can you please show me from Scripture where being blunt and direct is not Christian? Seems to me Jesus was the master of bluntness and directness. He told Peter to get behind him satan! So you prefer the softer touch and have people in stead of getting to the heart of the matter, merely nibble...

Why? If god says something will or will not be done, fretting about the implications does little to advance our relationship with god. If god wanted us to know all the implications, He would have put them in Scripture.

In the world of the unsaved, there is no free will to choose God in the fallen nature. TULIP merely codifies and systematize that biblical point. Every human was born an object of wrath as Eph.2 explicitly says. All must be born again or receive the result of their fallen human nature- the...

So: 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. Using your "vision", drawing is the fruit and effect of reeneration. Jesus "draws" all men to Himself. so you believe in universalism. The Father may not draw all men, but Jesus does. Sorry but you can't have it...

So be it. I have never been angry or vindictive with you. I have been very blunt and direct! When I see someone adopting evasive ways, I will call them on it. I know this is very offensive to some, but I prefer to be blunt and straightforward and not beat around the bush. Wates too much...

I agree, those who teach God presetines everything and we are just automatons is hyper Calvinism and AFAIK is only accepted by a very small minority of Calvinists. God allows evil! He allowed :Lucifer to rebel and uses it to bring glory t Himself in ways above my pay grade. He allows evil to...

You obviously do not understand. The word "helko" means to physically drag, period. That is its literal meaning. When it is used other than physically dragging it is a metaphiracl use of the word, that does not mean the passage is a metaphor. C'mon this is basic stuff you should know.

But it wasn't the second temple. Also if you see this is not actual then you have serious issues! for what promises can you believe in as actual????? Even the4 Muslims believe this is actual! that is why they put a cemetery in front of the eastern gate so the Jewish Messiah cannot enter the...

When you start wrotong them, I will recognize them. But you are not Paul so your philosophizing is not Pauline theology. You fear defending your opinions with Scripture, otherwise you would have done so with me. Instead you are manic about screaming how evil youthink Calvion is.

Well behold, you are more of a five pointer than you will ever admit! If you believe all mankind is lost and in need of a savior--you are a one pointer. If you believe man doesn't have to do works before he gets saved, that makes you a two pointer. If you believe Jesus made all men savable, but...

And if you believed the bible is the word of God, you would see my posts are very biblical. You spend most of you rtime in eisegesis. I am little interested in you ropinions when you do not back them up wioth Scripture. You love philosophy and show disdaini for Gods word. It would be nice...

Yes ytou have said this ad-nauseum. but what you haven't done is take tulip, point byu point and show from Scripture why those five points are Satanic. I am now convinced you never will either. But on ething I do know, Based on all your writings I have seen from you , you believe in at least...

Glad to see you have changed you rposition from about a dozen threads ago. Bacvk then it took dozens of requests to get you to declare that if a person sins, they were never born again.

Well I do not know if God predestined all those surgeries or not! I know God used them in that I got to minister to many nurses in teh varied hospitals! I can't speak for reformed mindsets for I am not reformed. I have told you this several times now, so bringing that up to imply I am is...

All this is nice and true in english, but not in Greek. prfe destination is pro-orozo which means to mark in advance. foreknowledge is pro-gnosis which isa to know through preplanning. This is best described by a word picture. One is heading for a long trip, it is before GPS and phone...

YOu forget we would not lead them to Behold either. :joyful:

Sorry but the metaphor is to show an inward drawing versus an outward drawing. It is not a metaphor to mean something else. But i t was you who added JOhn 12 where Jesus says He will draw ALL men to HImself. See I see and know th edifference between John 6 and John 12.
