Galatians 3:3 1 Peter 2:16

Empty yourself. Let His love increase. Don't revile in return. Golden rule. Die to self. If people are difficult, stick with them and find out why and maybe they'll change their minds.

1 Peter 1:16 tells us to be holy as he is Holy

I am disappointed that this thread is here.

And let's be clear about something, we are using scripture.

Firstly, I would like to extend a cordial "Thank You" to @GodsGrace and @Jane_Doe22 for bearing the torch here. I would argue no. God did not desire for Cain to kill Able. I think we can all agree this act of murder displeased God. Yet here we are. Hebrews 4:6-7 6 Since therefore it...

Thank you to all who have responded. I have not had time to browse this thread yet, but I will do so after church. Thank you for helping me to understand more of what you're saying. God bless

And thank you @OzSpen for post #49. Didn't know any of that.

I don't believe so. After all, wouldn't predestination denote a favoritism of sorts?

He surely is. Whether or not His Sovereign Will is always actively being enacted at every single fraction of every single second over every single thought that pops into our heads is what the question of the thread actually is ...because your camp is still incapable of demonstrating how the...

Believe it or not, this was a verse that actually came to mind when I made this thread. There is a difference between God changing direction (representing a king's willfulness) on a flowing channel of water at precise times to fulfill His ultimate purposes using a bare minimum amount of effort...

Overall, Calvinism is incompatible with free will. God's Sovereign Will is everpresent and always ready to be enacted at His good pleasure... ...but He does not exercise it for absolutely every minute decision that is made by mortal man, as Calvinism purports. If a man were to kill another...

Scripture states that God is not a respecter of persons. This means no favoritism. All who repent and believe in Jesus can be saved. Acts of the Apostles 10:34-35

I heard John Calvin took someone's life. Is that true or just a rumor?

Since you believe in 3 parts to the first ressurection and also the rapture, could you go back and identify which of the verses in my OP corresponds with rapture and the other parts of the first resurrection unto life? Thanks

I've heard someone say that 1 Thess 4:7 was talking about the first resurrection, not the rapture

Is 1 Thessalonians 4:17 the same event as Revelation 1:7 and Matthew 24:27? And would this indicate that there will be no rapture, only a second coming and judgement? Discuss.

I'm sure some will embrace the anarchy, but most of them will be horrified and victimized.

Consider the biggest issue of all, all the good Christian's keeping evil governments and bureaucracies in check. Tyranny will sweep the world over.
