Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the majority of the conversation so I don't know how well he dealt with it. I just know that when someone puts someone else on Ignore, it is usually because that someone else got to them in some way, shape, or form and they don't want to deal with the...

Does believing in Calvinism automatically make a person of God's elect? If someone believes in Calvinism but the reality is that they are not of the elect, then their very belief excludes them from the kingdom of heaven in such a way that they cannot enter in. Thus in believing in Calvinism...

And just how, pray tell, did you become a member? By having your name written in the registry of the Catholic Church? Or, by believing in Jesus Christ and what He did for you on the Cross? If the latter, why do you not afford the same membership in the church to certain Protestants who...

It should be clear that if anyone is a worker of iniquity, they will be cast into the furnace of fire (Matthew 13:41-42) and that every man is born dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1). It follows that the Lord requires a man to repent of working iniquity if he is going to escape the...

@soul, Don't despair over this...it means you got through to him with something and he doesn't want to deal with it in his mind.

John 6:37 is a verse that I often use to deal with a common understanding that people have when they hear the doctrines of Calvinism. They think, "if I am not of the elect, then I cannot come to Jesus Christ even if I wanted to." I would say to them that they can come to Jesus Christ and that...

Of course. God gives us faith and we must receive it in order to apprehend it and therefore possess it.

Rev 18:2, And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Rev 18:3, For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her...

No...we are praying for the Lord's will to be done... We are not praying for people to get away scott-free with molesting children and other such sins of the Catholic Church to have sway in this world. You are not considering that what is in the catechism might be a lie...and if it is, then...

1) I never said that; and, 2) I actually did sic the mods on @HisLife because his behaviour truly was beyond the normal level of attack that you might experience in a normal case of banter on a forum; and, 3) That was the only case in which I even ever did that.

At least now, you realize that I am not of the "common" type.

@Blood Bought 1953, Perhaps you should consider contributing to the conversation instead of naysaying what others preach.

Surely you are the one who gauges whether a person's gospel is right or faulty... There is no rule that says I can't use your own words against you...

@Blood Bought 1953, when are you going to repent of preaching your FALSE and PERVERTED gospel? (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery).

Yes, "newbies"....read Galatians 5:19-21 especially and see if Galatians as a whole teaches @Blood Bought 1953's erroneous idea that repentance is unnecessary... Both Jesus and John the Baptist preached repentance and so did all of the Old Testament prophets. And so did Paul, by the way (1...

Indeed.... It makes sense to me that you would continue to spurn the word of the Lord as it is preached to you.

Preaching the law is something that will be found to have been a fruitful endeavor on the day of judgment. It shows people that they are sinners in need of a Saviour for as long as they continue to be sinners. When a man comes to faith in Christ, he becomes a new creature in Christ (2...

I preach grace on one side of the equation and coin and at other times I preach the law as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:20, Psalms 19:7 (kjv))... If I didn't do that I wouldn't be a true evangelist. But it is basically true that historically, evangelists have...

The gospel is in fact everything that we can preach in the power of the Holy Spirit out of the Bible (2 Timothy 4:1-3).
