Simply because the bible says so. You can spend lots of time trying to find a satisfying philosophical answer, but I believe you will not. we must trust god knows what He is doing and does what is perfect.

But Scripture does not say it is by free will. It is by the fact we by nature reject God. Rom. 8:8 1 cor. 2:14 and Eph 2:1-5 and Romans 6:16-18 as well as Romans 3 show not only do we not seek God, we do not wish to and are enslaved to sin and by nature objects of wrath. I do not see where...

Well Scripture says there will be. Ez. 44-45 describe the sacrifices. These have not happened so they will happen in the millennial kingdom. This commentary makes many unsubstantiated assumptions, mainly that the sacrifices in the millennial have the same value as OT sacrifices! They do...

Well flesh cannot inherit eernity. There is a kingdom promised to Israel that will come to pass. the NT only adds how long that kingdom will last-1000 years Gentile nations will keep feast of tabernacles. They will send representatives to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to God. any nation tht...

What you do not understand is what some call position and experience. Our position is that we are in Christ. but the flesh is still alive and makes demands on teh souldof man. When we walk in the spirit we do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh and we experience our position. But a believer...

It may be. I have beern taught that common or prevenient grace is that God gives sun and rain and provision to both the righteous and unrighteous. someone can emulate a godly lifestyle of "good deeds and charity" through upbringing without ever knowng Jesus

:jest: :jest: :jest: :jest: :jest:

Thank ytou . I go for a follow up in 90 days to know if they killed all the cancer. I do have an abdominal surgery coming up in Jan. or February as well. That will be surgery #14. I feel like a bologna sometimes in a deli! :jest: :jest:

Well I cannot speak for Calvinism, for I only accept the 5 points as biblical. But like gods grace, you forget that Paul addresses these historic facts to remind us that God is speaking to Jews and Gentiles in the here and now. You also forget that the elect are so from before Goid created the...

Jesus return is to rescue Israel, defeats the Antichrist, and establish the promised millennial kingdom. It isnot to destroy the creation. That comes after the 1000 years, when Satan is loosed one more time and deceives the nations one more time! then God destroys the present creation and...

I agree 100%. I do issue a caveat here. We do speaak god's Truth when we are under the control of the spirit. But there are many times when everyone blurts opinion and not Doctrinal truth. None are exempt from this reality.

If the drawing is regenerationk, you are forced to accept universalism. John 6 is th3e Father drawing men, and John 12 is jESUS DRAWING ALL MEN. SO ALL ARE REGENRATED! yOU NEED TO BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR MISUING A WORD.

Sorry but Romans 8:14 is different than John 6 and John 12.

You have no basis to say Jesus was using these things metaphorically, there isnothing grammatically, contextually or doctrinally t5o even remotely suggest that. I would like to ssee the authority you use to take these literal phrases and redefine them

Well, a beliver in christ cannot sin. However the flesh though declared dead by God is still alove. Paul made this very clear and at times true believers either through ignorance, weakness or being rebellious, will live in the flesh and sin. to say once a person is born again they cannot sin...

I hope you let Behold know the same. Well please enlighten me on this spiritual understanding. I am sure very few here have the insight into the spiritual meanings you see.

You must have lived a very sheltered life. YOu make four accusations here and do not back them up with anything resembling a scripture verse to support them. In this disagreement, I am willing to bet that you would be considered a 3 point calvinist. I added nothing to the verses I posted...

Then I apologize for my misunderstanding. I know we should not sin, but also we do because we still live in these bodies of sin and death and fall short from time to time.

Keep telling your self that. I have yet to get angry once. You just cannot handle one who speaks as it is. I have not thrown ad-hominems as you have nor create straw men of you and attack them as you have. I am just blunt and that can be very offensive to Armeiniasts. You have posted...

Your thinking is of man and not God here. It is men who came up with that crazy doctrine and not Scripture. Men can sin after they are saved, but we dhouldn't. But if we do 1 John 1:9 is for believers. If we sin in rebellion, God will allow us to reap the wages of sin to teach us to hate...
