No, not everyone repents. Perhaps someone in every family. But some go straight to hell when they die because they rejected faith in Jesus Christ; or, maybe, they trusted in the false hope of Calvinism and waited too long for God to save them apart from their free will decision.

Nope.

Being physically alive means that you can "choose ye this day whom ye will serve." Just like I can choose whether to eat maple or boysenberry syrup on my pancakes in the morning.

You have eisegeted the text. "All men" actually does mean "all men". They are physically alive; and if they can decide whether to eat raspberry or maple syrup on their pancakes, they can decide whether to receive or reject Christ when the Holy Spirit draws them.

Those were churches, in case you are not aware. Do you propose that megachurches split off into a million home studies?

He commands all men everywhere to repent. Why didn't He say here (in Acts of the Apostles 17:30) that He commands only the born again to repent? It is because you repent in order to become born again, that's why.

This is your translation of John 12:32... Jhn 12:32, And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me with exception. The part in italics and not in bold is the part that you have added. Because the verse without the addition plainly teaches that He will draw all men without...

How so...if you do not assemble at church, where will you assemble? There is no substitute for assembling in person and seeing the happy faces of your brothers and sisters in church; and worshiping the Lord under the umbrella of having a worship leader lead in the songs. It is also a major way...

Yes, my opinion. I don't have chapter and verse to support it, except for Isaiah 57:15, which tells us that God dwells in eternity. The rest, I believe, you will have to think about and consider whether it is logical concerning the relationship between time and eternity. For I consider it to...

I didn't say that you have done so...only that it is what you will do if you heed the lockdowns that are being instituted all over the land.

Does it say that in that Psalm? If so, then yes, you are correct (for the scriptures cannot be broken). Actually, let me say this: promises like this are obtained by faith in them (Hebrews 11:33, 2 Peter 1:3-4, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Romans 4:20-22).

I actually committed a willful sin after having walked in total freedom from it for a period of about a year, about 30 years ago. God cut me down as a tree. But fortunately for me, there was grace in the following passages: Job 14:7, For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it...

Going to church is a venue by which we share the gospel. And our time to worship the Lord is indispensable. How do we evangelize people in the normal manner if we cannot invite them to go to church with us (whether before or after they get saved)? Most people don't respond to exhortations to...

Actually, Lucky Repentance IS the key to getting saved (1 Corinthians 15:37, Matthew 13:30) The Greek verb tense of "cleanseth us from all sin" in 1 John 1:7 gives the answer to that. It is better translated, "continually cleanseth us from all sin." That comes from this scripture: Jas 3:2...

I will not deny that I believe in certain aspects of Calvinism 1/2 of the T (we can be sanctified entirely as believers but man is born with total depravity; also that when the Holy Spirit draws a man he is given the opportunity to receive or reject Christ; it is not a guarantee that he will be...

You appear to be mocking the born again experience...a sure sign that you are not born again yourself (if it really be the case that you are mocking the born again experience).

I didn't teach it from John Calvin but from my understanding of Jude 1:3-4. I also truly believe in only about 3/2 (three halves) of the tenets of Calvinism in TULIP, last time I checked.

It doesn't say with exception either. Is it not you who is adding to the scriptures?

The whole Bible is the context of John 6. Are you going to run away from Acts of the Apostles 17:30? Because a major flaw in Calvinism is that it does not require repentance to be saved; a person is merely chosen by god. There is no need for even a change of life: you are either chosen or...

Simply in that someone who dwells in eternity will not cease to dwell in eternity, even if they were to leave eternity...for the nature of eternity is that those who dwell in eternity dwell in it for ever. No kidding. You win some, you lose some. "Old Thumper" may have the desired effect...
