    Does God Love Sinners?

    I am NOT a Calvinist. Predestination/election is taught over and over in the Bible in both OT and NT. Please give one example in the NT where anyone of the apostles, Christ, or anyone else gave a gospel message that sinners were told God loved them. Please give one scripture where the love of...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    All are responsible for the things done in the flesh. The elect either are rewarded or lose rewards and the unsaved/nonelect are punished more severely or less so depending on their deeds. An unsaved Sunday school teacher less so than a mass murderer. "Hell" has degrees of punishment. God has...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Explain how this is not election: Romans 9:11-13 New King James Version (NKJV) 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, “The older shall...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    No worries. If you are elect you will "get past" and think you made a freewill choice doing it.

    Does God Love Sinners?

    In short "freewill" choice is nothing more than how and to what extent people choose to disobey God. Sinners have no other concern but doing what is riight in their own sight. Once the elect recieves salvation freewill is not an issue. It becomes Lord what is your will and the self life will be...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    You mistake the doing of "good" using the thought pattern based on the knowledge of "good" and evil with actions led by the Holy Spirit of Life. Of course the usaved can do "good" on this basis. An example would be nationalism which does "good" and much evil. Another example would be the medical...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    His concern is for His elect that have not received Christ and are still in sin i.e. "sinners". The current age will continue until all God's elect from each generation receive Christ. God knows exactly who they are and will see to it they hear and respond to the gospel. Below is the love He has...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Only the predestined elect will believe/receive Christ. The Greek word is not power but authority. The Greek says, For God loved the world SO He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVES in Him..... First God does love the world because He bestows His blessings and mercy on sinner and...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    See above and: Romans 9:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV) 6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” Galatians 3:8-9 New...

    Drinking Blood

    The drinking of blood was prohibited in both the OT Genesis 9:4 and the NT Acts 15:20 and 29. Catholics claim they drink the blood of Christ at every "communion". The Bible calls that SIN! The Bible says this: Hebrews 9:25 New King James Version (NKJV) 25 not that He should offer Himself...

    Does God Love Sinners?

    Does God Love Sinners? What does the Bible say? No person by a free will choice will ever choose the foolishness of Christianity which the Bible clearly says: 1 Corinthians 1:23-24, John 3:19-21, John 6:37 and 65. However that there is one God is revealed in His creation as Acts 14:17 and...

    Reasoned Into Faith?

    1 Corinthians 1:17 New King James Version (NKJV) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV) Christ Crucified 2 And I, brethren...

    Christian Truth or Antichrist Deception

    A person with charisma stepped on a platform, stood behind the lectern, and gave this moving speech. Is this Christian or antichrist? Would this speech be received by Christians in America? Is a similar message already being received? "MY LORD AND SAVIOR . . . IN THE BOUNDLESS LOVE AS A...

    Reasoned Into Faith?

    Assent is NOT faith and NEVER can be. Assent make converts and church members not faithful disciples of Christ. Nothing Jesus did from start to finish made any "reasonable" sense and often not even to the 12. Paul simply presented them the scriptures that pointed to Christ and showed them how...

    Reasoned Into Faith?

    Romans 12:1-2 New King James Version (NKJV) 12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your...

    Reasoned Into Faith?

    No one in the Bible was EVER "reasoned" into faith. They can however be reasoned into church membership which has nothing to do with salvation or faith. It is intellectual assent or "head" faith and may be accompanied with a high God consciousness received from participating in empty ritual and...

    Faith killers

    It is my observation that the church has no faith because they are doing what is right in their own sight just as they did in the book of Judges which is LAWLESSNESS i.e. antinomianism. Grace does not give Christians freedom from obedience. They may have Jesus as savior but not Lord/King. He...
