If you've read my post no. 6 it'll tell exactly what TULIP stands for. The above is a sweetened version because Calvinists know that if they preach their teachings outright, most persons would just be turned off by them. If you go through each one, you'll find that your version above has been...

@Brakelite Well, I'm here and will read a few posts....there's a lot. What/who is the restrainer? The restrainer of satan?? (and his work).

I don't belong to a denomination so I surely do not leave my brain at the door. Used to be Catholic many many years ago. I do know the theology (as much as is possible for a lay person). Then Protestant for many years.... but I find problems lately with Protestantism. So, I go everywhere...

Exactly, perfect. Thanks for contributing. Jesus Himself affirmed this free will of man when He laments over Jerusalem: Matthew 23:37 37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen...

Forgot to reply about free will. Free will biblically speaking just means that we have a choice between two moral options and we are free to choose either one or the other. The reformed teach that man does not have free will and this is why God has to choose who will be saved and who will be...

Yes. This makes perfect sense and is what the bible teaches us,,,both in the OT and the NT. Augustine, in the 5th century, called it a hole in us that only God can fill. It's a very beautiful and correct concept. Yes! As I stated in the other post to you, God gives to all men a certain amount...

If you believe that you cried out to God and THEN God birthed your spirit into His... and that you CRIED OUT BEFORE you became born again... then you believe as all Christians do and are not reformed. Yes, faith comes BEFORE being born again. The reformed believe that you must be born again...

Reformed faith is what it is Ritajanice. It's not WHAT IT MEANS TO ME. It's the same for everyone... Read my post no. 6 There are some very small nuances between the different confessions, but I'm not here to discuss those--- it would take a reformed theologian. I think you're not...

Something a little more direct....: Does man have the free will to seek God?

Why is it a strawman? It's a fact. If 98% of persons see blue and 2% see green I'd question WHY the other 98% see blue. Correct. The bible does NOT agree with Calvin, Knox, Edwards, Sproul, MacArthur, John Piper or any other Calvinist preacher or theologian. This is what we're here to...

I don't see any scripture.

What does the above verse have to do with reformed faith?? No comment. You're not responding to the topic.

Did I say we are joined to God in a physical way? You should read what members write. I'm not going to spend the little time I have here to correct what you've misunderstood. ALL your posts are about how we're spiritually joined to God. SPIRITUALLY....right. Do you think you're the only...

Could you provide some scripture please that states that God will choose whom He will save? Thanks. The above is rambling and does not interest me.

1. It's up the the owner of this site to decide what can be discussed and who is welcomed or not. It certainly is not up to me. 2. I'm happy to stand for the character of the God of the bible, the creator of the universe, whose character is defamed by Calvinist teachings. The reform have made...

I don't know what Arminian theology is CS. I know what mainline Christianity teaches....that would be every denomination except those that are reformed. They understand scripture in their very own special way. Here's what's pathetic CS..... If what you state above is true and we're each allowed...

Bruce, I already tagged you in and you should have received a MENTIONED alert. However, this is where the thread is..... If you want to discuss OK, because the people there right now don't even seem to know their own faith (the calvinists, I mean). GG...

@Bruce-Leiter Hi Bruce, Let's discuss the gospel and how there is no gospel in the reformed faith. What does gospel mean? It means THE GOOD NEWS. Jesus sent out the Apostles to teach nations everything they learned from Jesus. Matthew 28:19 What do you suppose the Apostles preached to the...
