God foreknew from the beginning of time who would by faith believe and who would not. God predestinated all the promises of eternal life, justification, his image, glorification etc to those who he knew would make the choice to believe. He knew them that would follow him before time begin. The...

Touché. (as you can see the French made a few contributions to our language also)

I most certainly feel that color makes a big difference in your state of mind. I doubt very few have every walked into a very colorful beach house without a smile. @Pearl I hate to correct you but your misspelling color. :):):)

Truth. One only needs to read Revelations chapters 2 and 3 to see God's message to the Churches. OSAS falls apart.

Who was saved at the moment Jesus died on the cross?

Where is it that the door was made not to be closed from the inside? I know the scripture says that God shut them in but not seeing anything about how the door works. God told Noah to depart from the ark when it rested upon dry ground. Nothing about God opening the door. Noah also had a window...

I pray that we all find the truth and give glory to God. I do not feel compelled to convince you.

Guilty.

It looks like that is what he believes, because Jesus shed his blood for our sins all men are saved regardless of what they themselves believe, what actions they take in life etc. I wonder how many are saved but do not know it. How did God measure Abraham's faith? Abraham had to believe and...

Paul tells the Christians at Corinth that if they do certain things they will not inherit the Kingdom. Paul repeatable warns Christians of false prophets. I do not plan on this being an issue or concern in my life as I'm determined to continue in the faith. The ago old debate on OSAS will last...

Sound doctrine for salvation does not require scripture gymnastics or lengthily tirades to convince the willing listener. It is common that those who do so are in reality trying to convince themselves more than others.

Salvation is thru Jesus Christ, not your Church.

I do not believe that when Jesus died on the cross that all mankind was given salvation. I believe that we must thru faith believe. This is very clear in the scripture. Otherwise everyone after the cross is going to Heaven no matter what they do. This is far from a perfect analogy but it's like...

I'm sorry but excuses do not change the facts. I do not expect you to admit the Catholic Church owns these things. It really doesn't matter to me. I pray that you are saved by faith, a gift of grace from God. What label or denomination you identify as is of no importance in the body of Christ. I...

Jesus died on the cross for all men so that IF they believe through faith, acknowledging that Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood, was buried and rose on the 3rd day that they could eternal life. We are sealed at the moment of salvation, not before salvation. Once we are saved we are...

Was the Catholic Church in error when it murdered fifty million people for Hersey? Was it in error when it help the Nazi criminals escape via the Rat Lines? Was it in error when it covered up the untold number of sexual abuse of boys? God is the only one without error. There are so many cases of...

History is very clear on the stance the Catholic Church took towards baptism of children. St. Augustine clearly taught starting in the fifth century that unbaptized babies go to hell. This "doctrine" was taught until the 1500's at which time they "changed" their "infallible" position that the...

I also think it's difficult to compare the Mars Hill sermon to an effective sermon today due to the vastly different cultures and knowledge. Unbelievers are not standing in the same shoes of those in the 1st century.

Understood.

It seems likely.
