Which Bible is authoritative? ASV? DRB? ISV? KJV? NASB? NIrV? NIV? RV? YLT? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It's like don't know what the scripture actually says, and don't want to know if it doesn't live up with a personal preconceived message.

Says the one who apparently has absolutely no idea where our English translations come from and why there are differences in them, or how to analyze what those differences might mean. So terribly, terribly sad. It is a sure sign of a closed mind and not the mind of one seeking to know and...

It has absolutely nothing to do with anything about natural or unnatural ears. It all has to do with Jesus avoiding giving the Scribes and Pharisees something to bring Jesus to trial and killing Him before the appropriate time. Matthew 13:11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is...

It is just an example of someone who knows full well that none of the Translators/Interpreters of the English Versions of the Bible are divinely inspired persons of God.

And you think that meant I didn't think I understood why we need to be born again? Oh where to even begin?

Oh My, there certainly is a wagon load of egotism and self-righteous in that statement. No the Scripture does not say that. Can the devil hear Christ? Is the devil not of the devil.

I have explained it to you so many times already and you have either ignored or outright rejected what I have said.

But it is your opinion what "Born Again of imperishable seed" means.

The very fact that you have asked those questions demonstrates that you do not understand what regeneration means and is. And you are not alone in that. Calvinism/Reformed Theology has it wrong as well.

You, like all of us, don't just post his living word on the subject, We all add our own interpretation to the meaning of such posts. Otherwise, why bother? Clearly you were not asking Red Baker to just post the "Living" word on the subject. You were asking him to comment on it, to tell you...

Why look to Red Baker? You have so often painted yourself as the authority on regeneration.

There is not really any need to "strike a balance" between divine sovereignty and human responsibility. There is only the need to understand correctly the meaning of each. I maintain that the meaning assigned to the divine sovereignty of God in the Calvinist Theology is simply wrong. You need...

I think that the reason it took you so long to grasp a hold of it, was that what it actually says was not what you wanted it to say in order to agree with what you want to believe. As I pointed out in reply #110 to Scott Downey, the parable of the Sower in Luke 8 rejects that claim. You are...

I didn't say anything about any saved person. I spoke only about the Calvinist claim that only the regenerated can hear, see and believe anything about God, Christ and the gospel. Clearly, that is denied in the parable of the sower.

No, I am not wrong about the Greek grammar of Ephesians 2:8. You can check it for yourself. Nearly every scholar will admit that the only correct grammatical reading of that verse is for the Greek word, τοῦτο [touto] must refer back to the entire phrase "by grace you have been saved through...

I'll just bet that you think that parable supports your Calvinist teaching. It doesn't. Luke 8:13 which you quoted could not possibly even happen if Calvinism is true. According to Calvinism, it is not possible for the unregenerated to hear and receive the word at all, let alone with joy...

You were the one making reference to the farmer tilling the soil and it is bringing in a harvest that was a witness of God at work within us. If you think that is any part of the "good" that is being addressed in verse 28, then please explain it. The faithfulness of God and what God said about...

Is that why Peter was crucified upside down? Is that why all the apostles except possibly John are said to have been martyred? What is the "good" spoken of in Romans 8:28? If that farmer that you mentioned tills up the soil and the harvest fails completely, does that mean that God is not at...

I don't know if the Bible makes things simpler, but I do know that the Bible says that neither one of those two positions is true. They are traditions of men. I just personally believe that one of those traditions is closer to the truth. And that isn't the Calvinist position since it makes a...
