If the Lord gave the servant an insufficient measure of faith and the poor servant wasn't able to fulfill his obligation because the measure of faith he received was not sufficient to enable him to achieve the goal. So according to your reckoning, the fault lies with god, because he didn't...

They never were His children, Romans 11 and the rest confirm they those who are lost were never His elect. Roman 11 confirms that God reserved 7,000 Israelites for Himself, they are (His elect). They were saved before the foundation of the world. They were saved by grace and not by race as you...

You could help me i9f you didn't insist on superimposing your doctrine over orthodox bible doctrine. God is not an Indian giver, He doesn't give you a gift one day and then rip it from your hand the next day, that's not the God of the bible. you made that one up in your own mind. I have no...

If God reacted to something then it means that He didn't know about it or He didn't see it coming. That's not the God of the Bible, He knows everything, He sees everything at the same time, He see everything from the beginning of time to the end of time at this very moment, He is outside of...

God didn't make anyone do anything, they do everything according to their nature. The servant in question here was born with a sin nature, so he will live according to his nature. The parable doesn't deal with real people, the parable was given to unbelievers, because Jesus never spoke to born...

The bible never made any claim that we become partakers, "only if we hold fast until the end" you made that up. I know you did because God would never make such ridiculous demands of His Children. The book of revelation doesn't only speak about future things, the book of revelation jumps all...

You use too much sticky tape, in an effort to create an unbiblical doctrine. By sticky tape, I mean you impose your word to the parables to make them say what you think they should be saying rather than just accept them as they are. Now your saying the talent that was given really means "a...

No, what we should learn is that God does not have a personality disorder. He has always been the same, He never changes but you keep insisting that he has this personality disorder. You can't have it both ways, either God cast His children into hell or He doesn't. You can't dance around the...

I can't agree with your summary of what that arable is teaching. We don't know know who Jesus is referring to when He says, "so will My Father do to you". I don't know if He's giving this as a general warning to everyone or to believers exclusively. If the parable was given to believers only...

I can't argue with that, even though I personally would go that far, because I believe God is a mystery and we can't wrap our minds around His ways and put them in an order with make sense to us. But you have given it a good go, so I give you credit for that, even if I wouldn't venture that deep...

We know that God can't add anything or take away anything from who He is, so it's impossible for Him to change anything about Himself. God doesn't respond to anything, He causes everything to happen. He told Pharoah to let His people go, but He hardened the heart of Pharaoh at the same time so...

My Pastor told me that everything you have written here is nonsense, as it contradicts everything Christ Himself said. Jesus said John 16:5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ Jesus departed from the earth 2000 years ago, He has been in...

Jesus said "My Sheep hear my voice" so you don't hear His voice because you're not a Sheep. Ok thanks for letting me know, that your not a Sheep, it means you must be a Goat. Jesus said there are only two kinds of people, Sheep and Goats. I'm not sure if your school ever taught you the fact...

My Shepherd told me that what your trying to do here is, understand the mystery of how Gods saves His people. He said, the truth is nobody will ever understand the mystery of why God chose to save those He chose. And nobody will ever understand the mystery of how He saves His people. God has...

1. Luke 15:24 "Again" the father of the man used the word "Again" because from his human perspective, his son died and came back to life. Did he die "NO NO NO" did he come back to life "NO NO NO". A parable uses metaphoric language, you problem is you're taking it literally and getting yourself...

Yes God does send rain on the tares as well as the wheat but lets not forget that He's going to torment the tares in the lake of fire for all eternity. God said love the tares, (meaning water them) or give your hungry enemy food and pray for them. None of that means that you love them in a way...

We can say God is just because He has revealed that fact to us, but we don't know the extent of justice. We fall way short of understanding how just He actually is. Some have a problem with the fact that God punished His Son to pay for the sins of His enemies. A good man may give his life for...

Forgiveness in this parable doesn't refer to forgiveness of sin, so it's not dealing with salvation. It's dealing with forgiving a money loan, so we shouldn't assume that the man in question was a born again believer. Let's just deal with what the parable does say, let's not add our own...

I'm saying only God knows what the Holy Spirit does in the lives of born again believers. We simply don't know what He is currently doing, we can only see some of what He has already done in our lives. God is a mystery, He only revealed a tiny little snippet to us about Himself. I fear the...

Parables are meant to confuse unbelievers. Lets consider what Christ said about parables. And He said, ‘To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see and hearing they may not understand.’” (Luke 8: 9...
