    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    Yes; God doesn't lock the door from the inside to prevent the "non-elect" from entering in by it; and He does not open only to "the elect" when they knock. Jhn 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    More on Perseverance of the Saints. I believe that Jeremiah 32:38-40 is a key passage for our understanding. Jer 32:38, And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: Jer 32:39, And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    I will go through my understanding of the five points of Calvinism in this post. T - Total Depravity: Calvinism teaches that man is totally depraved and cannot make a decision to receive Christ unless he has already been born again of the Holy Spirit. I would teach that there is a middle...

    Faith vs. presumption.

    Phl 1:6, Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Rom 11:20, Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Rom 11:21, For if God spared not the...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    I also am not fighting against what you preach; and neither am I calling your gospel FALSE and PERVERTED. I am not fighting against the gospel as you preach it and therefore I am not hindering your gospel from being believed by those who would desire to partake of the wine that you have...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    @Blood Bought 1953, In your opinion, does coming to Christ mean that you resign to the fact that you are a sinner and are going to sin? Does it mean that you give up on trying to become holy? That you make the decision that you are just going to be a sinner for the rest of your life? . . . I...

    Chart comparing Christianity to different religions

    I know that I will be rewarded for the gold, silver, and precious gems that I have built on the foundation of Jesus Christ on my day of judgment. As a matter of fact, the Father testified to me of this recently by causing a speck of gold to appear on the verse 1 Corinthians 9:17 on the word...

    Chart comparing Christianity to different religions

    I am no tritheist; as a matter of fact I fight for the Oneness of the Lord (against tritheism) in the Trinity; which states that God is one. I believe that I have explained the doctrine well in the following thread in a manner that is not self-defeating chaos, as you put it. True Trinity...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    True...but I think that you have been ignoring a certain passage in Galatians (even in the fifth chapter) which says that those who practice the works of the flesh shall not inherit the kingdom of God...which at the very least implies that in order to inherit God's kingdom, a man must repent of...

    Chart comparing Christianity to different religions

    There is nothing pernicious or wicked about the doctrine of Christ's Deity; for it is the teaching of the Bible. You are attempting to say that the Bible's teaching is pernicious and wicked; and that would make the Bible an unholy book. It would also make the author of the Bible (the Holy...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    Your statement to me is obviously, "you're odious" and in that, you have three fingers pointing back at you.

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    However, ot appears that you deny that Ezekiel 33:11-20 is profitable or doctrine. Romans 3:10-18, The Message: "There's nobody living right, no, not one, nobody knows the score, nobody alert for God. They've all taken the wrong turn; they've all wandered down blind alleys. No one's living...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    The Holy Ghost is absolutely promised as the result of water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39). Truly, it is what is symbolized by the water that truly saves (1 Peter 3:21)...identification with the death, burial, and...

    rejecting Jesus Christ is different from the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

    It is quite true that the sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is defined as attributing what is of the Holy Spirit to the devil or His demons. If we say that we have no sin before we receive our glorified bodies, "...we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us..." (1 John 1:8).

    John 8:24 teaches clearly that the doctrine of the Deity of Christ is essential for salvation. By denying that doctrine, @Michiah-Imla places himself outside of the sphere of salvation in Christ. He will die in his sins except he repents of his unbelief as concerning the doctrine of Christ's...

    Repentance is the Gift Of God !

    Nope. Every man has a choice as to whether or not he will receive the gift of God.

    Perfecting God's Love

    Hey brother... I consider that the Lord has called me to be a watchman over these boards and as such, I believe that He wants me to correct things that even may not have been intended by the poster to be false doctrine in its interpretation. I don't really think that you intended to promote...

    rejecting Jesus Christ is different from the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

    Those who are resurrected at the beginning of the 1,000 yr. reign of Christ will not be hurt of the second death. Those who are raised at the end of the 1,000 yr. reign will be. There is no one who will be raised during the 1,000 yr. reign (do you have scripture for your idea to the...

    You will be hated by everyone because of me (and COVID19)

    I think that a vaccination does not qualify as a mark on the right hand or forehead; so as long as such a thing is not added to the equation, I do not see a problem with being vaccinated. One other concern might have to do with whether the vaccine in question used stem cell research in order...
