    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    ??? Like for vessels, Clay vessels, child toys of ancient days, some for rough play, not meant to last long get cracked and broken, something fancy for show on a shelf like Knick knacks. Vessels unto honor, ships with flags and a band playing on deck Vessels unto wrath, some old garbage scow...

    Does the Bible teach conscious torment over an infinite period of time?

    Catholics are a huge sect and they do not believe in annihilationism. Every protestant church I went does not either. There might be a denomination that does, don't know about that. https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/yes-hell-is-real-and-eternal

    Does the Bible teach conscious torment over an infinite period of time?

    The dead are not immortal, true, they perish in hell, true. Scripture says also tormented forever and ever. Eternal never ending torment of the dead in hell is the historical church understanding for centuries of time. They do not escape that place ever once cast into it. That is their eternal...

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    2 Peter 3:9 has no clear open offer as Peter writes to the beloved elect who God is not willing that any of those He gives to Christ be lost. US in the verse refers to any of US (the beloved audience Peter wrote to as in the church). Any is subject to US, as in any of US in the beloved. But...

    How are we supposed to enjoy heaven when our non-Christian loved ones are in hell?

    What people in hell experience is eternal torment. They won't be working for God in some forgotten place on the far side of somewhere. We also don't know anything pleasant or neutral even about that place or if it actually ends, scripture tells us it is forever and ever. What we do know is sons...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    It does seem to me, that Calvinist haters prefer personal experience over scripture. They have this idea of God in mind and discount scripture saying it was for an early time of church growth when God predestined and elected people. They must think the NC changed from the first century AD...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    I was not always calvinist minded regarding scriptures. It is however the most logical reading of scripture, better at explaining everything we can know about our relationship to God. Many years ago, I stopped waffling and listening to doctrines contrary to what God says. Personally I think a...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    People disputing scriptures, I can only show them scriptures, God has to make scripture real to them as in the word is alive and active . AMP For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    If you truly did, then you were regenerated already as scripture says differently, it says no one seeks for God. That means no one seeks for God unless God changes their heart so that they are of God. It is why John 8:47 says "He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    John 5:44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? Romans 3 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They cannot believe as no one...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    The 'they' of verse 45 are the people God gives to Christ in v37 Them that believe not, v36, were not given by God to Christ, which is why they don't believe. John 6 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Romans 3, No one does good, no not one. And it is a good thing to obey God's command to repent and believe in His Son. No one will believe unless God does His work in their heart by making them spiritually alive, then they are open to being taught about Christ, otherwise they continually rebuff...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Psalm 14, the entire world is under sin. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. 3 They...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Yes, well people chose to do evil, as that is their nature seeing they follow the DEVIL. You don't understand that it seems. All people are by nature children of wrath. Naturally born people are only flesh and blood. Their father is the devil and they desire to do the devil's will. And Romans 7...
