Your definition and understanding of the Greek word ἐκκλησία [ekklēsia] is monstrously strained and inappropriate.

Which are similarly nothing more than self-interpretations of someone or at most groups of someones. None of them wrote any of the Bible.

There are none who promotes violence and doesn't go to jail as the democrat leadership. The VP even set up a web site for donations to help pay for legal fees for Atifa, BLM and other rioters by the thousands who pillaged, plundered, burned and murdered. How do you think the current President...

You have just self-interpreted in arguing what Peter was concerned about.

If you issue even the smallest explanation of a text beyond simply posting the text as is, you are "self-interpreting". Besides, 2 Peter 1:20-21is not about the reader; rather, it is about the author. Reading or hearing anything that is comprehended requires it to be interpreted by the one...

The problem is not with too many carbs or too much red meat and all those other claims that you read about all the time. All of those foods were prevalent 100 or so years ago when there was almost no heart disease or diabetes. The problem is with the processed food industry and it is only going...

Yes, I am a fan of Red, but not of Red's soteriology.

You think those are examples of God hardening the hearts of faithful followers? OK, whatever. You only reinforce my view of your comprehensive skills, or rather the lack thereof.

Give us even one example.

If you examine all the instances where it says that God has hardened hearts it should be clear to you that He has no desire to harden the heart of a faithful follower.

Show me even one passage of scripture where God hardened the heart of one who was a faithful follower of God.

Not one of those verses you posted disproves in any way what I said. Clearly every heart you claim God hardened was the heart of a man already set against God.

That is a two-way street. As much as I detest the Calvinist Soteriology and consider it to be so terribly, terribly wrong, I do not believe that the Calvinist/non-Calvinist situation is a wolf/sheep condition.

If you will examine all the instances of God's hardening the hearts of men, you will find that He never hardens the hearts of men who have not hardened their own hearts first.

Yes you could indeed spend a few posts on Romans 6:15-22. And you would get it wrong yet one more time. The key to that passage is in a correct understanding of verse 21, namely what does Paul intend with the talk of the potter's, i.e., God's, "right over the clay" for " honorable use" or...

Be very careful here, my dear friend. You do not have the ability nor the authority to declare whose heart God might be hardening.

In the question of sin, there is only two choices, to obey or not to obey. If you are not free to obey, then there is no other choice but to disobey. That is not "free" in any sense. Given the two choices, if you can't choose one, for whatever reason, then doing the other is not a choice. You...

Both Esau and Pharoah were chosen vessels. Not only is the Calvin version of double predestination not taught in the scriptures, the Calvin version of single predestination is not even taught in the scriptures.

And so arose the false teachings of Calvin. The absolute worst of it being the teaching of Total Depravity. That doctrine makes God the author of all sin.

It is never even mentioned in the OT. There is nothing ever said about a new man within us in the OT. Regeneration is strictly a NT doctrine. Says the one who believes in the false doctrine of Total Depravity. There is nothing in the Bible that says that.
