    Why do Catholics…

    It is so sad that you can cite all those bible verses and use them in the wrong context. Each and every one of them. And the reason you do is because you do not comprehend at all the depth of forgiveness and erasure of sin Jesus gained for you at the cross. People do not go to heaven because...

    Timing of Eze 37 and 38 pre Trib?

    In a normal conversation I would agree with you! but as this is a prophecy connected to 38&39 it is a prophecy of the nation coming back to life and God calling them back to their land! This took place in 1947-48 when Israel lived again and was born in a day! The russian invasion is to take...

    Rejoicing over what governor DeSantis did!

    I know what you mean! but rejoice and take heart, for God placed you in the Sodom and Gomorrah called Calif. to bring glory to HIm and fill you with joy! Do not let teh wickedness of the World steal your inner joy!

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    this false argument is used by those secretly trying to save their ego by saying it is the church as an entity that was chosen and predestined. That passes no test of rational thought and grammar and linguistics and the bible. God is the author of Grammar and He would not have used the pluraal...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well in that case- you have teh same trouble as me! for you don't appear in teh bible either. But laying that juvenile argument of yours aside- Ephesians 1:4-5 King James Version 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Yes the gospel tells man what He must do to be saved. but that has nothing to do with free will or predestination. It is a simple statement on how to be saved! Nopt how one gets saved, what is the mechanism of salvationb etc.etc. And it is ot Calvin, but the bible that says believers are...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well that is you trying to salvage a lousy argument. Jesus chose disciples! Jesus chose teh Apostles. Ephesians 2 shows we were chosen from before the foundation of the world! We were predestined! Marked off in advance. god choosing us is not the same as God choosing Jesus. Jesus is god...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well there is something special that takes place---FAITH! Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word! But to the intellect- it is foolishness To the religious, a stumbling block Man wants to be able to say they did something of themselves to contribute to their salvation- Satans lie! We...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Wrong again . You are mis defining foreknowledge. the word is "pro- ginosko" which means known in advance. It does not mean to see into teh future and know what actions will be taken by man so god makes His choice on that basis. Prognosis means known in advance by pre-planning. IOW- A...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    well I can't help how it sounds to you. There are no preconditions to election. We were chosen before God created the universe! Romans 9i explains that by example: 11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election...

    And the lusts of the flesh is not to serve th elaw- you are exegeting horrendously!

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    No it is your understanding that is schizophrenic. Jesus is the propitiation for teh sins of the world! But not all recieve that propitiation. I can't apologize for you not understanding that biblical truth. For the second sentence. Too bad, that is SCripture! Why? I couldn't tell you! god...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well I will take the whole counsel of god! god laid out a plan for Israel and He will accomplish it. It includes manyups and downs. god can do that without our counsel. But disobedience does not supercede the sovereign will of god. If it does then that means mans will is greater than Gods will.

    Why do Catholics…

    That means her sins are forgiven- nothing to do with earning grace!

    Why do Catholics…

    Wrong! You fail to understand context, hermeneutics and exegesis so you wrongly apply that passage to spiritual salvation.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I choose to stay away from free will, simply because those two terms are at the heart of debate about can unsaved man, dead in sins and cannot please god has free will to choose God. I prefer to label our choices as volitional choices. But yes we have that freeedom in the bounds.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well this may be the3 desire of God, but not the Sovereign will of God! If God decrees- it is done and man cannot cross that point! Some call this stuff teh permissive will of god and I am content with that, because Scripture tells us nothing happens without God allowing it! He gives us...

    Rejoicing over what governor DeSantis did!

    Well I am glad I got my kids and most of my grandkids to see it, before Disney took a wonderful thing and trashed it with woke garbage!
