Sometimes the things of God don't make any sense...until you understand how they can be. I would suggest reading through posts #1-#6 of my Trinity thread. True Trinity.

Did you actually read the whole thread? Normally, when I start on a new thread, I don't read the last post first. I read the first post first.

We can accomplish that from the point of our conversion, with the help of the Holy Spirit. Grace is the enabling power of God. And I know that I have sinned before being converted the third time. And I do not "claim" to be 100% sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, 100% of the time...

Unregenerated unbelievers have physical life and therefore they have the ability to make decisions...such as to eat.

Arminius actually believed and taught that mankind has the ability to repent and believe (I think).

They are the same and yet not the same. The Holy Ghost is the "future" of the Father's experience....He is the same Person. However, God cannot change...and yet the Holy Ghost's experience is distinctly different from that of the Father...which makes Him a distinct Person...because His...

So, respond to anything else in the thread. I bumped it up because there may be new people who have joined the website since the last time the thread was on the forefront.

Right...and it is impossible for the Lord to lie (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18). Therefore God calls those things which be not as though they are, thus creating a new reality (Romans 4:17) that you are truly righteous (see 1 John 3:7).

These things are inter-related. God wakes a man up, halfway, so that he is able to make a decision either to wake up the whole way or else go back to sleep. This is what it means when it says that the Father draws people to Jesus Christ. They are given the opportunity to make a decision for...

Yes...they are not governed by the law is what this is saying but by the love of the Holy Ghost that was shed abroad in their hearts through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:14, Romans 5:5).

Don't like it, huh? Seems to me like that is what was prophesied in 2 Timothy 4:1-5.

You want to believe that God is a cosmic sadist, be my guest. But I don't think that He is going to treat you very kindly for insulting Him that way. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). This takes the doctrine of Limited Atonement...

That is speaking of believing Gentiles.

It would seem so, wouldn't it? However, the Lord has said, Isa 55:8, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isa 55:9, For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. The...

The implications of what you are saying is that your god is some kind of cosmic monster who arbitrarily chooses some for heaven and others to be thrown into the lake of fire. However, if we receive everlasting life through our own personal faith in Jesus, then if we don't believe in Jesus we...

You said: Jesus did break the letter of the sabbath. At least He claimed to. Compare Exodus 20:10 to John 5:17-18. In the former, it is written that thou shalt not do any work on the sabbath days. That is the letter of the sabbath day law. Jesus brought it home by redefining the law...

Jesus obeyed the spirit of the sabbath law; but he brake the letter (Exodus 20:10, John 5:1-18; Romans 7:6, Mark 2:27-28, Matthew 12:12, Hebrews 7:12-16)

Indeed... Praying every night for myself and my loved ones to be counted worthy to escape those things that are going to come upon the earth (including those who heed the voice of my ministry here); and to stand before Jesus Christ who is the Son of man (Luke 21:36).

They are three Person who are each individually the same Spirit, the same Lord, and the same God (1 Corinthians 12:4-6) and therefore they are also the same Person. See posts #1-#6 of the following thread for my Bible substantiation on this. True Trinity.

Ha! it is those who willfully sin who trample under His blood and count it as an unclean thing. That verse in Hebrews 10:14 (kjv) is talking about those who have been sanctified wholly (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv)) in the practical, not the positional, sense. Matthew, I suppose, was also...
