I agree, and probably miscommunicatied. Free agency is the ability to chose for yourself things like what to wear, where to go, what movie to watch, ect. But our wills have been corrupted by sin, and in order to come to Christ, God must change the old, sinful will into one that loves Him. Once...

I agree. This is what I would call free agency. Not free will. But still, I get the point.

Thanks for the comment! To clear up some misconceptions: 1.) This was not made just for Calvinists. Is it Calvinistic? Yes, but so was the vast majority of the christian faith in thode days. The 5 points were not even around until 46 years after Calvin's death... and still the council of dort...

Thanks! It is truly a blessing in my life! What a true gift it is to live in a country where I am free to read the Scriptures without worry.... a blessing i find myself often neglecting to be thankful for. The Word of God given to man... getting a new study bible reminded me of just how precious...

No problem. Just trying to liven things up :)

probably how it went over with King James... it would be rejected and people would demand its removal... just like King James did.

Awesome! Glad to hear that others enjoy it as much as I do!

Im a Calvinist. There, someone had to say it unashamedly

... says the one who believes in works righteousness

To be honest, I half expected the first reply to be someone berating it. Thanks for the refreshing change in pace! I agree, this bible to me feels different than any other kind of study bible I have owned. It seems to hit the nail on the head with every note, and unlike some others is not afraid...

I am so excited! Today, my order finally came in: the Tolle Lege 1599 Geneva Bible! From the moment I began digesting the text and the notes, I was in love with the Bible! It is an amazing study, and has secured its spot as my go-to bible. Now, I know that there are some people will...

The d ... thank you for validating my point for me. You choose to acknowledge only the one definition of the word, and insist that every single use of it clings to this definition. Using your logic, If I here someone say that a girl is their "flame", they must mean that this girl is literally...

And you fail to realize that FREE WILL is not found in Scriptures! Find me the verse that expressly states that man has a free will. It is impossible because our wills are enslaved to sin. The only kinds of people who have a problem with admitting this are those who are to high on arrogance and...

And you choosing God isn't Salvation, its works righteousness. Romans 8:29-30

If you cant see the blatant contradiction in this statement, then I do not know what will help. How can you say Christ's work is finished and then turn around and say that we have to finish it? Do you not see this is a blatant contradiction?!? The sheer fact that you would even say this shows...

So it is up to you to save yourself? In the end, when God asks "Why should I allow you in my presence?" your reply will be "Because I was able to keep myself afloat in life." In the end, it is the merit of your own ability that gets you into heaven? wow... using bold type IS fun... i should...

1.) It's Calvinism. 2.) I am Calvinistic, and contrary to popular belief it is not a deadly disease. 3.) If we choose God, then we are saved by own merit.... the merit of a correct choice. Us choosing God before he changes us would allow all those who come before the throne of judgment to have...

Excellent questions! First, I would like to welcome you to the site; it is really nice to see new faces! Now, for the questions; 1.) What God actually said was that man would try to choose for himself what was good and evil. Man wanted to be his own God, the master of his own universe where he...

yes. but responsibility and ability are the the same thing.

right... because the bible time and time again says we need to save ourselves, right?
