No miracles today. The pupose of miracles was for revelation and confirmation of God's word back in the first century when it was still in the process of being revealed and written by inspired men. When John penned Revelation, miracles served their purpose and ended, ceased, vanished away. The...

In the Hebrew, 'hate' can carry the idea of less favor: Gen 29:30,31 "And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren." And the context of...

Sin is universal in that it has affected all mankind but is not universal in that every single person sins for neither Christ nor infants sin. John was writing to adult Christians, not infants.

Since Naaman went to the river to dip then he earned God's grace to be healed? When a gift is offered to you up front for free then there is othing you can ever do to earn that free gift. The most you can do is meet the conditions, if any, that are placed upon the gift. You posted "Without...

Yes, I have met many infants and children....such is the kingdom of heaven. My point was that man is not totally depraved, as seen by what God said to Cain in Gen 4:7. Peter's Jewish listeners in Acts 2, the eunuch Acts 8, the jailer Acts 16 while all in a lost state, yet they still wanted to...

Deut 1:39 and Isa 7:15,16 are not "human assessents" but true, biblcal facts from God. It is total depravity that is just a human opinion not found in the bible and all it does is put blame upon God. Total depravity is nothing more than a man-made agenda. The article gave an accurate...

God foreknowing John's life does not mean his life was predestined. God choose certain men for He foreknew what they would do. God foreknew how Saul would react when confronted in a bright light. God foreknew Saul would react positive and of his own fee will choose to convert to Christianity...

In Rom 3 when Paul said all have sinned, "all" in that context does not mean every single person but refers to the two groups Jew and Gentile that made up all mankind. There have been Jews that sinned, Gentiles that sinned therefore all have sinned.

The larger context says: No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. God...

Men sin for they choose to sin, not because of any depaved nature. Gen 4:7 God shows thru Cain that Cain had the ablity to choose to do well, Cain was not only able to do wrong. God even tells Cain to rule over sin for Cain was not toallydepraved but choose to do well. To be accountable to...

God draws, men come.

I think it depends on perspective. There is two perspectives to a gift, the giving side and receiving side. I can give you birthday gift. From your perspective being the receiver the gift is free to you. From my perspective that same gift that was free to you was not free to me but cost me...

So you understand that works do not earn salvation and those works must come BEFORE one can get the free gift? One does not get the car BEFORE he goes and gets the title and keys? That is, one is not first saved, THEN do works. What one does with the gift after he recieves it or the type...

Yes, you cannot get the free car by doing nothing. To get a free car it takes a giver willing to give it and a reciever willing to receive it. And if the giver puts conditions on his free gift then I do not have any right to try and get around those conditions or ask the giver to change the...

You posted "Yes its given freely and no we dont have to do anythng else." The car in my OP was freely given, but that did not mean you did not have to do anything else to get the car. If you do not do the work of going to get the keys title and car then how will you ever get the free car by...

How do I get the keys title and car just by sitting at my house and doing nothing? Joe will not bring it to me, his conditons said I must go to him for the keys title and car. So do I have the right to make demands onJoe to change his conditions he has put upon his free gift? Going to get...

But if God offers me a free gift as He has with salvation and puts conditions upon that free gift such as the works of believing, repenting, confessing and submitting to baptism then those works no more earn the gift than going to get the keys, title and car. Exact same thing. So if anyone...

"The faith", that unified bodyof truth/faith found from Matthew to Revelation is what everyone is to have his personal faith in. Everyone cannot just have a faith in whatever they want to even though the current religious climate in this country is perverted with that idea. Have you ever had...

If someone (Joe) gave me a car for free, I did nothing to earn the car for Joe is just giving me that car out of his good grace, yet Joe has put conditions on receiving that free car. The conditions for me to receive the free car is that I must go to Joe's house and pick up the title and keys...
