    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    OK, I will try again. Go back and read what Barnes and Gill said about imperishable seed. This time try to grasp the truth of what they are saying.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Copy and paste - something you should give some thought to. Since more than likely most anything you could copy and pasted would be more accurate than anything you would dream up.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    (ESV)1Pe 1:23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; (NASB)1Pe 1:23 for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. (KJV)1Pe...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Of course water baptism does not regenerate a person. But nowhere in all of scripture does it ever say that baptism is only a symbolic witness to another person. Christ does the saving when the believer is baptized in water. According to Acts 2:38 the repentant believer is forgiven his sins...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    You are right, I can't help you. And I have some time back quit trying. But I do know what you are talking about. But you are so terribly wrong.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Paul describe his own washing of regeneration: Act 22:16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Oh good grief. I asked you that question because it was obvious then, and still is, that you haven't a clue about what it means to be born again and why one even needs to be born again. That was back when I first came aboard and thought that perhaps I could help you. But I have long since...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I did not make any such confession. I understand full well what born again means. That you got that from anything that I wrote is just one more demonstration that your reading comprehension is severely lacking.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I will let you respond, but I would warn you, it will do no good. She believes that, in addition to not sinning, she receives divine revelation direct from the Holy Spirit, so that whatever she thinks the meaning of any passage of scripture says, she must be right. She thinks that she and the...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    The only real difference between Putin and Biden is the Constitution of the United States of America. And Biden and his administration along with some key democrat leaders in the congress and some states are doing everything they can to make that Constitution powerless.

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Your definition and understanding of the Greek word ἐκκλησία [ekklēsia] is monstrously strained and inappropriate.

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Which are similarly nothing more than self-interpretations of someone or at most groups of someones. None of them wrote any of the Bible.

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    There are none who promotes violence and doesn't go to jail as the democrat leadership. The VP even set up a web site for donations to help pay for legal fees for Atifa, BLM and other rioters by the thousands who pillaged, plundered, burned and murdered. How do you think the current President...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    You have just self-interpreted in arguing what Peter was concerned about.

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    If you issue even the smallest explanation of a text beyond simply posting the text as is, you are "self-interpreting". Besides, 2 Peter 1:20-21is not about the reader; rather, it is about the author. Reading or hearing anything that is comprehended requires it to be interpreted by the one...

    What should we eat, mans original diet.

    The problem is not with too many carbs or too much red meat and all those other claims that you read about all the time. All of those foods were prevalent 100 or so years ago when there was almost no heart disease or diabetes. The problem is with the processed food industry and it is only going...

    Yes, I am a fan of Red, but not of Red's soteriology.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    You think those are examples of God hardening the hearts of faithful followers? OK, whatever. You only reinforce my view of your comprehensive skills, or rather the lack thereof.

    Give us even one example.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    If you examine all the instances where it says that God has hardened hearts it should be clear to you that He has no desire to harden the heart of a faithful follower.
