Scripture teaches that God's gifts can be refused. Rom 10:1-3 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. (2) For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. (3) For they being ignorant of God's righteousness...

The issue is not that saving grace is a gift of God but that without faith in Christ no-one has access to God's gift of saving grace. Gal 3:2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— Gal 3:6-9 Even as Abraham...

As one of God's saints I have no interest in the doctrinal error that denies that all those in the body of Christ are saints. Quote: The word “saint” comes from the Greek word hagios, which means “consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious." It is almost always used in the plural, “saints.”...

You can if you know where to look. Isa 66:1-4 Thus says the LORD: "Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? (2) For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist," Says the LORD. "But on this...

In Scripture saints are those who are sanctified by the blood of Christ. Any extra-biblical doctrines to the contrary are indicative of deceptive spirits at work.

One of the many errors of Catholicism, Roman and Anglo, is the use of the word saint as a title which is not Scriptural. Rather, all those who come to Christ and are washed and cleansed of their sins by His precious blood are saints. 1Co 1:2 To the ekklesia of God which is at Corinth, to...

But since salvation is by grace through faith, and since not all are saved by grace, it must be that not all have the required faith, and as you and I know, it is NOT because of any fault or failing on God's part that reprobates lack faith. Deu 32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from...

What Scripture can you supply with the word law in it, because as the page of Wkpd shows, there are a variety of useages

Heb 12:22-24 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, (23) to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect...

Over the years I have discovered that many in congregations whose denominational constitutions embrace Reformed or Calvinist doctrine are not aware of it and are oblivious to its implications. They have smart buildings and well-kept properties, their meetings are well attended and services are...

As we all know, there are many different perspectives and practices when it comes to the assembling of the saints together. Paul had to address some of the issues of his day, and warned of wolves amongst the flock. I find myself reflecting on nearly 67 years of association and fellowship with...

Yes, Australia is doing it hard at the moment, harder than NZ that's for sure, but with the Word of God continually dwelling in us richly the outcome is faith continually welling in us richly . . . Col 3:12-17 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness...

Yes, well the Word of God gets snatched away by the Devil, sprouts but withers, and grows somewhat for a while but gets choked, unless it is nurtured and cultivated by those willing to be enriched by it.

Which would not be held to their account if faith in Christ had been given them.

Yes, only when the Word of God is agreeably heard can faith come with a fruitful result, which makes God the Author and Finisher of it, but the context in which Scripture talks about a measure of faith being given has to do with being living, holy, acceptable sacrifices available for God's...

According to the Parable of the Sower the effectiveness of the Word of God depends on the heart condition of the hearer.

On that basis then, an unsaved person is condemned on Judgment Day solely because God didn't provide them with faith. Yuk!

My hobbies take my mind off my problems. Being 90% retired from business I enjoy worshipping God through DIY, Landscaping, Writing, and the study of interesting topics, plus listening to Christian radio and good music, and relaxing in solitude after years of demanding Christian Service.
