    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    I do not believe that God's foreknowledge means that he stops or changes things. He is more interested in the big picture and the overall outcome. It is difficult for us to comprehend that he has and can see everything from A to Z That I believe is the driving force behind what he does or...

    I particularly like the comment by Dr. Martin Lloyd Jenkins which you have brought to our attention.

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    What makes me think I am saved. Have you got a couple of hours to spare? To put it simply, I don't think, I KNOW!! I am more passionate about God now than when I was saved 66 years ago. And having gone to heaven and met God nothing could convince me about the reality of God otherwise. If I...

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    These verses are very important in understanding God. So often we think that God is there for us, but in reality, we are there for him. We have to remember that in the beginning, he created the heavens and earth for his pleasure. When it happened you and little ole me were not even on the...

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    That is good. Inquiry sharpens the mind and strengthens the heart. I am so glad that God chose me because if he hadn't, I don't think for one moment I would have chosen him. In fact, I know I wouldn't.

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    One has to realise what the scripture says is true that he not willing that any should perish. His will is that all will come to repentance. That is the whole point of the cross. But that does not obviate his foreknowledge and demand that he throws salvation around like confetti and hope that...

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    By your post, I would suggest that you do not know what Calvinism teaches. It specifically relates to salvation and gets back to the fact that God is omniscient. If you don't know what that means, it means he knows everything. Unlike us, he knows everything from alpha to omega, which means...

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    No. As I knew some of the people that were involved in the debate personally and I had done my own research on the subject, the claims did not support the facts.

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    Robert Manne, a lecturer at my old Alma Mater, Latrobe University, wrote a book about the stolen generation. Andrew Bolt challenged him about it and asked him to name 10 children that were stolen. Apparently, he could not name one.

    No, I didn't bother when I found out it was all lies.

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    Yes, they do. Their responses are so monotonous and repetitive.

    Nothing short of racism.

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    The main battle whatever the subject is a battle for the truth. Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. The whole homosexual movement is built on lies. The whole abortion movement is built on lies. The whole sex education movement is built on lies. The whole...

    Consumption Of Jesus' Flesh And Blood

    c'est la vie. I forgot that perfection was spelt c-a-t-h-o-l-i-c. What you might call immaculate perception.

    Women's history in the Church?

    The biggest mistake the churches make about the roles of women is that they prefer to ignore the main teachings about male/female roles so that they can introduce their own take on things. Having made an extensive study of the leadership in the New Testament church, one, pastors are not the...

    Defending Homosexuality

    Part of the falling away in the last days and a means of sorting the sheep from the goats.

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    There is no doubt that the church has compromised big time. The number of them getting into bed with the homosexual agenda is appalling (pun intended). And the megachurch phenomenon has turned things into entertainment. The New Testament church met in homes which meant probably no more than 30...
