    Going on Hospice Today.

    Thanks for your interest. I have stage 4 prostate cancer, some of the cancer is in my upper chest. I have been trying to find out how long I have to live, but no one seems to know. Hospice is here twice a week now. They use to come just once a week. I guess they know something that I don't...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    How do you believe all of that and then come up with Calvinism?

    The Gospel and the Spirit of Anti-Christ.

    Martin Luther's newfound doctrine of justification by faith was so traumatic for the reformers that they believed that anyone that opposed it was anti-Christ. There were many Christians that believed the Gospel and justification by faith besides Luther. What made Luther stand out is that he...

    The Reception of the Holy Spirit

    There is a lot of controversy concerning the reception of the Holy Spirit, mostly from people that are not indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Paul had the same problem with the Galatians. Paul wrote, O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I have found that many who profess Christ as their savior are trying to do in their flesh what God has already done in Jesus Christ. We have ALREADY been reconciled unto God. We have ALREADY been justified, sanctified and redeemed. God ALREADY sees us as perfect and complete "In Christ"...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    If you believe that we are perfect and complete "In Christ" then why are you so concerned about sin?

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You cannot enter heaven unless you have been justified. Justification is the results of the work and the person of Jesus Christ. "Jesus justifies the ungodly and reconciles them unto God" Romans 4:5. You have skipped over that. You have also eliminated the judgment. Your Calvinist doctrine...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I agree with all of the scripture that you have posted. However, I see it differently. Paul did not teach a holiness doctrine (That you don't sin any more) Are you aware that the law is spiritual. It searches the desires and the intent of the heart, Hebrews 4:12. Are all of your thoughts pure...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You seldom quote scripture, unless you think that it supports Calvinism. The reason that you do that is because you don't believe the Bible. You view everything in the light of your Calvinist God. If it isn't according to Calvinism, you reject it. The "Elect" are all that have elected to...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Nothing wrong with Romans 8. Except that you think that it is all about you and your life of holiness. You don't really want to get into this so you throw a blanket over the whole thing, Romans 8. Lets go back to 1 John 1:8. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You are in denial of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Jesus is in heaven as "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16. This means that the law has been fulfilled and abolished, Ephesians 2:15 and all sin has been atoned for. "Jesus is Lord". Jesus is the savior of the whole world...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Red Flag. The Bible appears to be contradicting itself when Compared to 1 John 1:8. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us". You don't understand the Gospel because you have adopted a holiness theology. So, in your mind you think that John is screwed...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    As long as we are here on this sinful planet in our unredeemed Adamic bodies we will sin, Romans 8:23. Paul struggled with sin, Romans 7:7-25.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    So, when you sin it's not you doing the sinning, its Jesus.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    No, you are the witness. If your witness is true, the Holy Spirit will be present.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    If you don't witness because your afraid you will lose some friends or you will be persecuted you will never witness.

    Why laws, Rules, Religion Promotes Hate for Others

    I only have one source of information, the Bible. All other sources of information are lies.

    Why laws, Rules, Religion Promotes Hate for Others

    To believe in predestination is to believe that God is an unjust unrighteous tyrant. You will never see heaven if you believe those terrible things about God.

    The Work and the Person of the Holy Spirit

    When people use names, places and dates as to when something happened, I tend to believe them. Especially when they sign it with their own name.

    Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

    Colorado? Is that bird smoking Marijana?
