    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    Keep going, you are on the right track here.... what you are describing is the difference between doing the will of man and the will of God. the will of man is what many churches are built upon, and they puff up and place man on the pedestal of pride, a true servant of the LORD is doing the will...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    The servant of the LORD is a way of saying those who were chosen to serve Him in the OT. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, etc. All believers are called to this, few are chosen by God. Just like all believers are on the road to holiness, not all finish the race as Paul spoke of. Agape love is the end of...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    That also delineates between the one who serves God and the one who doesn't. The servant of the LORD is the saint.

    All saints are believers, not all believers are saints.

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    See Malachi 3:16-18, Particularly verse 18.... This is what true fellowship leads to.

    Not sure why the line is through the text? I do not know how to remove it.

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    Show me the scripture that supports all believers are saints. This is not about two "classes" of Christians, But of God's sovereign election of who he wishes to use as a saint.

    Felt Impressed to Post This

    Ephesians 4 Is one of the most powerful passages in scripture as it is written by Paul late in his ministry (A prison Epistle) and has some of the most mature instruction on faith to the church. My belief is that Paul foresaw what the eventual outcome of the church would be (the...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    Would you consider Jacob a saint? Being a saint comes by the choosing of God. God's sovereignty and foreknowledge is a given, we in the here and now must choose. The seed is cast on the ground and depending on what type of Ground we are that seed will grow. The seed is the word of God, "faith...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    For this Post, I want both sides of this debate to be open minded to the fact that men are prone to error, even good men led by God. I will keep this brief and elaborate more if need be. A Brief History of the Problem: With the reformation a number of doctrines of the Catholic church were...

    Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

    It is because the Catholic church Got corrupted by the Babylonian religion of Semiramis worship... the whole notion of the "Queen of heaven" stems from this corruption which began with Constantine who melded the Roman religion with Christianity. This is why Christ is still hanging on the cross...

    Oregon coast earthquake swarm.

    I am thinking of the EQ a couple of years ago east of LA on an inactive fault like the above, that was preceded by a swarm and then popped at a 7.0-7.1 EQ. I believe it was the Ridgecrest earthquake.

    Oregon coast earthquake swarm.

    160 per month averages to 5 per day assuming 30 day month. compare and contrast to 54 in one day makes this "odd". Again this could be nothing or could be something?

    Oregon coast earthquake swarm.

    True, but sometimes relieving pressure on one fault places more pressure on another more dangerous one. Again this could be nothing or lead to something???

    Oregon coast earthquake swarm.

    Actually, the number is 54 quakes in the last 24 Hours as I am writing this.

    Oregon coast earthquake swarm.

    There have been over 50 earthquakes off the coast of Oregon, and they could be a prequel of a large quake to come? Just a heads up if you live out there especially on the coast, if there are Tsunami's associated with this. Although this fault is not known for mega thrust Earthquakes, this swarm...

    Christ is the head of the church, all others are usurpers.

    And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. (Ephesians 1:22-23) The Church is the Body of Christ, He is the head of the Body. All the gifts of the Spirit operate as members of...

    A SPIN-OFF from "JESUS IS GOD PART 2"

    Here is the traditional music, there are more contemporary versions out there as well. Here is one of my favorite contemporary renditions...

    A SPIN-OFF from "JESUS IS GOD PART 2"

    Amen! The divinity of Christ can be taught as a doctrine, but until the truth of this is revealed by the Holy Spirit there is always a modicum of doubt there. Not only do we know about the divinity of Christ we come to know Christ as God. We come to faith having not seen, but when the Holy...

    Trees of Righteousness

    Isaiah 61 was brought up in my last Post, and verse 3 of that passage speaks of the trees of righteousness, metaphorically implying they are people. Who are these trees of Righteousness? To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning...
