Yes, one a vessel of MERCY, the other, a vessel fitted for destruction.

Talking about men stumbling....... With your statement above, I would say you are the one stumbling over that precious stone of God's sovereignty of doing all things after the counsel of his holy will. The reason why you are doing so is God has not made known unto the mystery of his will by...

What if does not carry the meaning of~"if he decided to do so, yet this is not what God decided" is what you desires others to believe what if is saying. Not even close! Contents is king, it will drive the true understanding of what is being said by the writer. Very clear the true meaning is...

Have a nice day

Free will is a lie from the father of all lies. Man is born under the power of sin, and in darkness, and total arrogance of spiritual truths. Let discuss this doctrine of your concerning man's free will. Start a thread on it. I'll come. In the meantime: In what does the sinner’s freedom...

It is very plain that you are "willingly ignorant" ( 2nd Peter 3:5 ) of the scriptures, since you refuse to give scriptures their proper sense so that they with one voice give the same truth to the hearer and readers thereof. Your blindness and ignorance is well deserving. The word world...

You don't even understand simple definition of words~I quoted 1828 Webster dictionary which you left out in your repoinse back to me Daniel Webster's definition of the word religion. Well Tobiah we will never know will we?...... Since all you do is make such accusation without even addressing...

Greetings Rita~the contexts of Romans nine verifies this~ The metaphor of a chosen vessel, refers to a person that is receptive. Consider: Double predestination is taught in the scriptures, even though men hates the very thought of it. Angels were created a higher being than man, yet no one...

I have one of my daughters lives in Milton, Ga. with her husband and sons~just north about thirty minutes, or so, from Atlanta.

Oh Jim~regeneration is biblical doctrine taught all through the word of God! Regeneration is so vitally important, and the Holy Spirit is the One who creates a new man within us. Anyone who was a believer in the Old Testament had to be regenerate before they would be a believer. So anyone who...

I desire that Robert Pate who started this thread come and defend what he has started. Robert, I'm one of those poor lost souls waiting for you to show what you think is the truth~I'll stick with scriptures and no problem excising all meekness, patience, and even kindness, when you allow us to...

Emphasis are mine for a brief discussion. Legally speaking impossible! Jim, you start a thread on this, and I'll prove that this is a serious corruption of God's word. Millions upon millions will inherit eternal life who have never heard of water baptism. Water baptism is a NT doctrine only ~...

Find a baptism thread here and I'll come, but let us not use this thread, sorry if I was guilty of getting this thread off track.

Big Boy, why not start a thread on Mark 16:16 and I'll come there and debate you. Water baptism is not essential to be born again, but all who are baptized enjoy a salvation..... that, let's say OT saints did not enjoy. The words save/saved/salvation do not always mean salvation from sin and...

Is “perseverance of the saints” the solution? No! Calvinists invented the doctrine of perseverance. Knowing that righteousness is the true evidence of eternal life, they teach fatalistically that God guarantees all the elect will live holy and righteous lives. This is not the case, or there...

Part three of three...maybe one more after this one... How can I know I am elect? Believe on Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, and live a righteous life with zeal. Peter listed eight good works, beginning with faith, which can prove election sure to your own heart and conscience (II Pet...

But I thought I chose to be saved? You thought wrong. The Bible never encourages you to trust a past decision you made. Even Paul’s confidence for eternal life was in fighting a good fight, finishing his course, and keeping the faith (II Tim 4:7-8). He knew whom he had believed, not that he had...

Big Boy~I prefer once loved, always loved ~ is truly scriptural teaching. What does “once saved” mean? It is used by those who think salvation is merely a choice and recitation of a prayer. Rather than believing God’s sovereign will and work in salvation, they teach the heresy of decisional...

Good morning Jim, trust all is going well with you~Jim, you are getting old ( well, we both are, but you are getting close to ninety ) and your memory, while still in tact, is fading...... ;) Jesus secured the redemption of his people as a man living in the flesh ~yes, he was a man, a real...

Please give book and scripture~Would you like to start with Romans 3:10-18
