Windmill Charge.... If you want to discuss Romans chapters 9, 10 and 11, I'd be willing and I'm sure so would @Behold .... but perhaps you don't understand that it's speaking about Israel....about corporate salvation AND NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL SALVATION. God bore with great patience the object...

Calvinists believe that God forces our every move. I mean from when you get up in the morning to when you go to bed at night. Calvinists believe God predestined EVERYTHING....Every little thing that happens...everything. It's not a mystery as to HOW a person can become born again. Jesus and...

@marks doesn't care to answer anymore....it does get tiring. But I just got here... so Where in the NT does it state that only the predestined can believe in Jesus? You say it's clear....so please post the verses.... No Bruce,, ,,,believers do not BRAG about being born again. They're happy and...

Sure. But I think God loves all of His creation and wishes all to be saved.....but not all will obey God in order to be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4 Paul states clearly that God wishes that all men be saved....All, not just some lucky ones as Calvinism teaches. But some will not obey God in order to...

Do you have an idea of MAYBE who could be going to heaven? Does God give to each person the possibility of having the opportunity of going to heaven? This is the big question here.... CAN we know who is going to hell? Does God want to warn us about how NOT to go to hell? Or do you think He just...

You're not going to want to discuss this...but I'm going to answer your post anyway. I agree with the above. Agreed. Agreed. And, as you know, the bible clearly states that not everyone is born again through the gospel. The gospel only began to exist 2,000 years ago. God always existed and...

And correct you are. I DID state that you do not have a definition for your faith. It certainly is not Christian, as far as I could tell. You may THINK it's Christian, but apparently you don't know what the term means. Well actually Faith....EVERY denomination believes in free will except the...

This is very nice of you Ronald. Just one little problem: I don't know who Arminius was and I don't care. I don't know his 5 points and I don't care. I care about what the NT teaches... What Jesus teaches and what the writers of the NT teach. AND THEY DID NOT TEACH CALVINISM. Now,,,,I have...

Ronald....when theology is correct, the bible has no conflicts and I'll show you why. @Behold will reply for himself since the above is for him, but I'd like to add the following to whatever he may say.....: John 12:32 and John 6:44 are both correct.... You say that Jesus death will attract...

Since you brought up the CC, let me say this.... The CC NEVER taught predestination. Augustine, loved by John Calvin and mentioned thousands of times in his sermons.... is the one person that taught predestination AND WHICH EVEN THE CC DENIES to this day. Augustine was born in the 5th century...

Could you please use scripture when making a statement. Where in the NT does it state that only the predestinated can believe in Jesus? John, who spent over 3 years with Jesus says this: John 3:16 16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him...

Which offer would that be Bruce? I don't see any offers in Calvin's Institutes or in any of the Confessions. Maybe you could expound. Oh. I do think you've hit a nail on the head. I'm just a little worried you might really mean something different. Just to confirm: You stated we are SAVED BY...

Oh yeeaaah. What IS the cross about?? IF NOT forgiveness. It's good to read Exodus 12 every now and then...

Behold....some persons are so confused as to Christianity, that they don't even speak the same language so as to have a meaningful conversation. You and I may not agree on a doctrine but we know the same teachings that are in the NT. Some don't even understand what those teachings are and post...

You're a universalist. I thought you were a Calvinist. It's been interesting speaking to someone that cannot identify himself properly. :balloons:

All signs point to this being true. He won in a landslide notwithstanding all the negative media. It says a lot. And I can't find the horrible announcement by MSNBC when they called the winner. Maybe they had to take it down from YouTube? It was REALLY bad and worth a defamation suit.

@Scott Downey Yes. No reply to my post no. 92 Difficult to go against plain and simple verses from the NT. This should cause you pause to rethink your entire position as regards to THE CHARACTER OF GOD....which is what you and others are changing. You're serving a different God than the one...

NO Faith.... YOU said that I believe a false gospel....that I believe in works and that this is a false gospel. So I posted MANY verses showing that good works are necessary in the Christian faith. YOU did not post who gives the strength....only that good works are a different gospel. If you're...

Joe,,,,I've already gone over the verses you've posted so you're just repeating since, really, you've nothing new to add. IF you're correct in what you state above...after all the scripture I've posted .... WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM..... It means that the bible has a VERY problematic conflict in...

I'm not a universalist. The problem is that you're unable to reply to my scripture. I've already answered the above. PURPOSE. HIS PURPOSE. His purpose was established before the time of the ages.... PURPOSE. NOT WHO or WHO WILL NOT be chosen. You haven't replied... Are you a universalist...
