    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.” How can such a thing happen? Well it can because God came into their lives and personally intervened on their behalf to save them by the gift of faith. You know faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    To remain consistent, who is 'They' who are taught.? Well, 'they' are those the Father gives to Christ described a few verses back in John 6 John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will [f]by no means cast out.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Jesus contrasts those who have seen Christ and His miracles and do not believe with those that are given to Him by the Father (as in His foreknown elect) and that is why they do come to Christ and believe John 6 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    ALL refers to those who are taught, not that all without exception God teaches. All those who come to Christ, all of those who have been taught. The Holy Spirit does not teach all men, as not all men come to Christ.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Written to the church and by understanding must be for the elect who will be saved. That God is not willing that any of them perish, that all of these elect repent and believe in Christ. The 'non-elect' do perish, being set aside, reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition (hell...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. NKJV And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” The issue is what drawing means, the focus is not the 'all men'. All men are not the entire world as in each every single person of the...

    Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Since God knows all things, He also knows what He is going to do before He does it. That is why it says in Acts 15:18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works. And that includes those He saves and those He does not save. The past, the future, the present are all known by God. This is...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    God's love manifested towards us is why we live through Him. It is why we are saved out of His great love for us. We did not love God and so then He saved us, no, we were following the devil and fulfilling the lusts of the flesh. But God loved us with His great love and saved us by His mercy...

    And they said Adenochrome ingestion, of children's blood was a myth

    The potential for child abuse is clearly very high and seeing the unfathomable depths of depravity of human hearts of the wicked, nothing is beyond possibility.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    This holy calling, only given to those God has foreknown as His people, the children of God. And it occurred before time began. God cannot deny Himself as He knows all things from before the beginning to the very end of every age to come. It just is one of those God things. 2 Timothy 1 8...

    Going back to image. Notice this verse, Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Good summary of all that is being discussed is found in that verse. We get back that image Adam and Eve...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    Here this says what your talking about more directly. 1 John 2 and the anointing that comes from God so you know the truth. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning...
