    Predestination, All Things are Determined by God, Even the Outcome of a Roll of a Dice

    Let me just comment on a few things. 1. Scripture explicitly teaches God grants repentance. The Jews in this conversation have already received the repentance, whereas not every Jew did. The Gentiles that received the repentance God gave were the ones Peter was speaking about. 2. Scripture...

    Predestination, All Things are Determined by God, Even the Outcome of a Roll of a Dice

    The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" - Luke 17:5 It seems the apostles understood where faith comes from...

    The True Sabbath and the Millennial Rest Foreshadowed

    But how do you know Saturday is actually the seventh day?

    Can you lose your salvation?

    I disagree. I used Scripture to give the definition of what the gospel is. Both Paul and Peter agree. Yet I have posted another thread concerning the gospel message and would like to invite you to share what you believe the gospel to be. Thanks!

    The True Sabbath and the Millennial Rest Foreshadowed

    Can you tell me which day is consecutively the seventh day from when God created? Is it today? Will it be tomorrow? Which calendar is correct, the Jewish one or the Julian calendar? Perhaps the Myans have the proper calendar. Did Noah follow the right calendar? Did he keep a calendar on...

    What is the gospel?

    Due to recent discussions I want to gather an idea of what the community believes the gospel is. From the Greek we know the word usually translated gospel means good news, yet there is a specific gospel message that if believed brings about salvation. What is that gospel? What is the gospel...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Friend I am taken aback. Your gospel has no mention of the atonement, no mention of the resurrection, no mention of even Jesus Christ at all. This is not the gospel message, in fact this verse is not even from the same Testement where the gospel is presented. Confessing sin does not save...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Before I get too far I want to make sure we are speaking the same language. For the doctrine of justification this is what I understand it to mean: Justification is an instantaneous legal act of God in which he (1) thinks of our sins as forgiven and Christ’s righteousness as belonging to us...

    Predestination, All Things are Determined by God, Even the Outcome of a Roll of a Dice

    I am not saying God is a puppet master neither did I say Scriptures say He is, you are putting those words into this discussion. Straw-man... Acts 11:18 is clear... "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life." Repentance deals with a changing of one's thinking...

    What argument do you personally use to justify the existence of God?

    The Cosmological Argument The cosmological argument is the argument from the existence of the world or universe to the existence of a being that brought it into and keeps it in existence. It comes in two forms, one modal (having to do with possibility and the other temporal (having to do with...

    Predestination, All Things are Determined by God, Even the Outcome of a Roll of a Dice

    No I do not think God is a puppet master, yet I believe the Scriptures. And I seem to be the only one using them to support my case. When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life." - Acts...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Another Scripture depicting the gospel in it's entirety. 36 As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), 37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    I showed you the gospel I preach and used Scripture to support it. So no, what you posted is not the gospel I preach. Show me the gospel you preach.

    Predestination, All Things are Determined by God, Even the Outcome of a Roll of a Dice

    You are quibbling about how the blindness came about rather than the issue of Jesus appearing to Saul. God knew Paul would go blind when He appeared to Him. Paul's blindness was a direct result of God appearing to him. Jesus simply appearing to Saul is interfering with Saul's free will...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Who is teaching this alternating idea????? Straw-Man... I have showed the gospel message concerning salvation.

    Predestination, All Things are Determined by God, Even the Outcome of a Roll of a Dice

    So Jesus strikes Saul with blindness and this is not interfering. Thanks for the discussion, it is obvious you don't want one you just want to spout your eisegesis.

    Predestination, All Things are Determined by God, Even the Outcome of a Roll of a Dice

    Again...Paul the Apostle...Apples to Apples...Paul was content persecuting Christians, yet God showed him how much he would have to suffer for His namesake. Acts 9:16 Allow me this to add in our discussion. It is not that any are forced to accept God and the salvation He offers, Jesus as Lord...
