    What is Predetermined?

    It's a favourite ploy of courtroom lawyers, asking a question they already know the answer to. Then if a lie is told, BAM!!! . . . evidence is revealed.

    The Shopping Mall in the Sky.

    There is a certain logic to non-Christians and atheists frequenting Christian internet forums. Whilst some genuinely seek information others derive satisfaction from posts intended to bait and discomfort. I have often found myself helping people who seek out Christians to meet some need but who...

    Prince Andrew

    Opinions differ, but there is evidence the Queen may actually be a genuine Christian.

    The Shopping Mall in the Sky.

    This is a very astute question, I.O.U. The correct answer is no. The Bible teaches that God casts those angels who oppose Him out of Heaven, and only those whom God foreknows will always be 100% faithful to Him are saved for eternal life in heaven. Col 1:21-23 And you, who once were alienated...

    The Shopping Mall in the Sky.

    Here's something I wrote that's related to your inquiry. GOD’s GREAT PLAN Adam sinned because he could, God foreknew he always would. We all sin because we can, God foreknows the heart of man. Only Christ can save from sin, Only He this victory win. God’s goodness leads us to repentance...

    Salvation is by Grace through Faith.

    Hmm. Faither, There's an implication in your question that "today's church" and the early church might be at odds with each other where Biblical doctrine is concerned. No matter since sound doctrine is still available in some churches today. Faith is the conduit through which grace flows from...

    You've done pretty well for yourself, young lady . . . :)

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    All salvation issues and complaints must be referred to the Department of Divine Foreknowledge.

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    Once, when I was attempting to comprehend how big the Universe is, and how it must be in something even bigger, which then has to be in something even bigger, God spoke to me and consisely said, "You don't have to know". The sense I was given is that the exact extent of what we are in is beyond...

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    God is the great I AM. existing in eternity with infinite knowledge and power. He can be plural if He wants to, and speak to Himself if He wants to, and certainly imagine all of Creation including human beings, and then create them just as He imagined if He wants to. Piece of cake for God.

    The Shopping Mall in the Sky.

    Part of being a Christian is renouncing all other religions, philosophies and worldviews, but I have noticed a tendency for atheists to apply a logical fallacy that blames God for all the bad things that happen because He could stop them from happening, and then reason that because bad things...

    OSAS But Be Ready Or Else

    Says you, but I agree with the Albert Barnes Commentary on Hebrews 10:38 But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him - This also is a quotation from Hab_2:4, but from the Septuagint, not from the Hebrew. “Why” the authors of the Septuagint thus translated the passage, it is...

    OSAS But Be Ready Or Else

    Joh 15:6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. BINGO Rom 11:22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you...

    OSAS But Be Ready Or Else

    Likewise you can't get it if God foreknows you will recant.

    OSAS But Be Ready Or Else

    No, it's the once faithful who become unfaithful and recant their faith who do not secure salvation. Not the issue under contention. The issue is who God chooses for salvation, those come to faith in Christ but then recant and refuse to be restored, or those He foreknows will come to faith in...

    OSAS But Be Ready Or Else

    That's my point . . . 35 but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. Being...

    OSAS But Be Ready Or Else

    I've never believed the hypercalvinist lie that someone who was once a faithful Christian but recants their faith and refuses to be restored to it, is still saved. Col 1:21-23 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled (22) in the...

    OSAS But Be Ready Or Else

    It would be contradictory of Jesus to call people workers of iniquity, say I do not know you, and depart from me, and then still abide in them as you erroneously suggest. Jesus does abide faithful, but not in workers of iniquity. Only a corrupt doctrine of demons teaches that He continues to...
