    Who Does The Father Draw?

    T Yes we all deserve Hell, myself included, I stand guilty before God for my sin and God would be justified to send me to Hell if it was not for Christ. Why does it matter which church I attend? I see that often on here during debates, oh what church do you attend, blah blah. Are we not all...

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    The spiritual nature of man is not free if it is enslaved to sin (our will is influenced and in bondage to sin) That is why Jesus came to set us free. We are not free if we need deliverance from enslavement. This is my third time saying this so apparently you don't understand that you were a...

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    I believe what the Bible says, not so much what any man says but if you feel the need to label me then feel free to. Would you not agree that we are slaves to sin? Would you also not agree with the fact that man is completely fallen and separated from God?

    I'm sorry but I do not see it like that. That is a stretch of the scriptures. God will have mercy on whom He will and He will harden whom He will. There is not unrighteousness with God.

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    You will say to me then, "why does He still find fault? for who resist His will?" On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, why did you make me like this," will it? Or does the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the...

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    Man was good until the fall. God created us good but man messed it up. Jesus said no one is good except God (Mark 10:18) If man was good then why do we have to repent? We are all lawbreakers against the holy God. If mankind was good they would not deserve hell.

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    Man is free is action/thought/speech, it is the spirit that is held in bondage to sin and not free. I'm sorry but man is not as free as they believe they are. We all are slaves to sin and our will is in bondage

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    All of it. All scripture is inspired by God.

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    Foreknowledge does not equal responsibility. Predestination is clearly in the Bible or else the Holy Spirit would not have inspired the writers to put it in there. I am fully comfortable with the fact of God's foreknowledge and predestination. Whether one believes in it or not does not change...

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    I feel great brokenness over the lost and have weep over them. As far as the "they" I am referring to any and all who reject the Gospel. You are right that we can't know the heart of any person but we can see fruit of their actions and I do not believe that there is any good person on this...

    Guns, Guns, Killing, and more Guns

    Dying as a martyr by a evil government for your faith is different than dying because you lack common sense to defend yourself. As @BreadOfLife said, God forbid someone should try and harm your wife/family with you around. I bet money that you're still locking your doors at night too.

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    predestination = deciding / ordaining ahead of time. Either way you look at it God had full knowledge of the future. Can we understand this mystery fully while in our flesh? No. But I do believe that we can have confidence that nothing was hidden from God. Whatever one believes about...

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    That just proves the fallen nature of man. They never seek the true God but false ones and their heart is set on idols

    God is also a Righteous Judge who will bring wrath.

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    God foreknew everything that would ever happen and out of His foreknowledge He predestined those who would believe in Him. Nothing was hidden from His sight. 2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace...

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    Acknowledging "something greater" is different than submission to the One Lord and Savior. Their acknowledgement is really towards demons and false gods - not the True Messiah

    Who Does The Father Draw?

    In the human heart there is no desire for God or submission to Him. Humans in their natural state are enemies of God and children of the devil seeking out their own fallen lust. No human would ever repent and come to faith unless it was God drawing them to Himself. People are not lining up to...

    I'm sure there are areas we see eye to eye on. :)
