    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Wrong again. It is foretelling through knowing. It is not guessing. Yes the English translations have been expanded from the greek word and it is th egreek word (as the NT was written in Greek) that counts! Pro-ginosko" in greek means pre planning. Not taking an action based on another...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Well I know not this JOhn Gill, so I cannot speak to what he writes. However the biblical word "proginosko" we translate as foreknowledge means knowledge through pre planning! It is not God looking down the tunnel of time and seeing what people will do, it is God planning what He will do...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    You are using a 22nd century understanding of a first century word and you are wrong (as well as your watchtower masters who wrote this) The Watchtower has lied to you again. Jesus is the only one ever conceived by God directly. The angels and man were created, Jesus was conceived . that is...

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    Well we agree on this point. The Lake of fire is an eternal suffering and not an extinction or death of an individual. You are just wrong! 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    A Calvinist Conversation with God

    So you are a universalist Okay but biblically Jesus is the propitiation for the sins of the world. He only atoned for those whom He became Savior for individually by faith. Once again you are not allowed to redefine words at your whim.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    We are born with the freedom to sin. It is our very nature. Ephesians 2 King James Version 2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit...

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    Not on the earth, but under the earth. The Lake of fire is uninhabited as of yet. The Lake of fire is where all the lost are cast: Revelation 20:7-15 King James Version 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the...

    A Calvinist Conversation with God

    I already gave you the definitions. But here they are again. propitiation is an appeasing sacrifice, or a sacrifice that is acceptable Atonement is a swapping of things. IN Scripture it is the removing of our sin and given the righteousness of Christ. Propitiation makes atonement possible...

    Predestination: A Calvinist Fairy Tale.

    I believe that the five points of Calvinism are biblical. As for the rest of Calvin theology I must answer with a firm I do not knkow if I agree or not. But God does not predestinate people to hell. All are already condemned to hell by nature.

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Well show me the post where you cited the work of linguistic experts and I will gladly look at it. But Jesus claimed divinity and claimed to be equal to Gd the Father!

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    Nit picking! Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. People are tortured forever and ever in the lake of fire! the smoke of their...

    I never said God did. That false concept is found in your head, not my words.

    Predestination: A Calvinist Fairy Tale.

    Yes they are. God marked individuals in advance to be conformed to the image of Jesus.
