    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Not so fast sir, not so fast! Another subject for another day. God is not the author of confusion in giving so many different versions of his word. I'll stop with that statement keep from hijacking the thread.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Jim, I'm neither a Calvinist in the true sense of Calvinism, and certainly not of the Reformed community. Truth has never been Reformed, or needed to be so. I'm an old line Baptist from John the Baptist in that we teach water baptism in the same sense that John, Paul and other apostles taught...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Greetings Rita~On this point I think you are erring. The new birth is a creation of a new man within us after the image of Jesus Christ. This new man cannot sin, has perfect faith, the faith of Jesus Christ. The old man Adam is still with us, even though he can be put to death, yet never...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Greetings Rita~ We are not born again by the word of God, that's not what Peter is saying. Men are dead in sins, he must FIRST be given life before he can see. hear and believe. The proper sense of what Peter is saying is this: We are born again according to the testimony of the word of God...

    Greetings Ritajanice~The Spirit of the Living God must be our teacher. And yes, most of God's children are on different levels of understanding.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Let us look at Ephesians 2:8,9: Very few truly understand this verse ~ it took me years to totally grasp a hold of it, so, by that very fact, it should teach me to be very patience with anyone who fails to understand this verse correctly and show all meekness to all men as long as they do not...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Jim, I do not love this scripture more or less than the ones before it or after, they all are part of one cohesive whole, teaching one and the same truth! I have never preached from Acts 13:48~but no doubt mentioned it when I went through this book back in the early eighties, I'm sure, when we...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Well, you are doing a terrible job of understanding by holding on to "your historical Gospel"~John 3:16 is not stating a condition to be performed in order to receive~but, a "declaration of" a biblical truth that believers have everlasting life now and they shall never perish in the lake of...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Robert, you sound like Jimmy Swaggart and his new found gospel that he came up with to reinvent himself after his terrible fall into sin, not once, but twice. On SBN they constantly use the term "accept Christ"~no where in the NT will you find those words used in the sense in which you and...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I'm not going to debate it here in this thread, but I'm 100% convinced that ALL four were children of God, yet only one group were frutifull~the parable of the sower is given for us to heed take how we hear the word of God and the measure we need to take to make sure what we hear remains in us...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Big Boy~ I'll take any NT book you desire to take and go verse by verse with you or Robert and we shall see who truly are the cherry pickers of God's word. This is an open invitation. I will not do this just to put any man down, God forbid, but to prove that true children of God do not cherry...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Robert, you are so confused with almost all scriptures you attempt to use, because of the false gospel you have come to accept and desire to believe in. 2nd Corinthians 5:19~ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Greetings Jim~I just got in, and trying to get caught on reading the posts that have been posted before finishing Romans 8. I also would like to comment of Acts 13:48, and Ephesians 2:8,9.... but later. I have a busy next three days, with one day leaving to head to Augusta, Ga. ~ but hope...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    v29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. He had declared in the foregoing verse that all things work together for good to them who love God; but as it is always necessary to keep in mind...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Sir, why just quote scriptures and never give your commentary on them by using other scriptures. Isolating scriptures and just using sound bites proves very little, if anything ~ all cults can do what you have done above. Scriptures have a biblical sense that must be given before one can truly...
