    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    You just subverted the message of why He spoke in parables. Subvert means to undermine the power and authority of Nullify is another word I would use for what you did. The Purpose of Parables 10 But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11 And He...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    HAHA! Another attack on the scriptures.... Don't like what they say. claim the translations are not inspired and can be ignored. Go and learn Greek?

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    The Spirit of God who reveals mysteries, but only does this for His people born of His Spirit. Otherwise no one understands anything. 1 Corinthians 2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the [a]testimony of God. 2 For I...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Why then did Christ say it this way, This is not speaking of natural ears that hear, this is about hearing the Spirit of God. 37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are...

    Threat to Democracy?

    The scriptures explain everything we need to know about life, salvation. and godliness. Many do not believe the whole council of God in the scriptures; they only believe some scriptures, some believe none. Still God does everything for His glory. 33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the...

    The Parable of the Sower Explained 13 And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    What is it, you think all people can hear the Spirit of God? Well, they cannot unless regenerated first. And the scripture says that or I would not believe it. Those who are of the devil cannot hear Christ, so He spoke to them in parables, as they could bear that, yet they did not understand...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    And Matthew 12. Who makes the tree? God makes you and me as either the good tree or the bad tree. Those born of God, they are the good tree.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I know some here do not believe in eternal salvation and their salvation fully depends on their continued obedience. But the scripture says differently. Of course the person has to actually be born again saved in the first place for their eternal salvation to be genuine. And the first verse also...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    We are born by the Spirit of God of incorruptible seed, meaning once born of God we are saved forever incorruptible, and that new spirit God creates inside us cannot sin. 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been...

    The truth of resurrection as Jesus Christ taught two resurrections.

    Yes there are 2 groups, the righteous are not resurrected with the unrighteous, they are separated left and right. The passage here shows the judgement is contemporaneous and everyone is a witness to it. This is like a formal court proceeding. The decision of who is left or right hand already...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    An example of us bearing GOOD FRUIT to GOD is written here and is contrasted to the works of the flesh. Bearing good fruit to God shows the work of the Spirit in the lives of saved people. NO good fruit to God? Works of the flesh? The scripture here is not about good works. Contentions...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    People confuse good works and good fruit, they are different things. We must bear good fruit to God or we are not saved. Good works we do only benefit men Once born again we have Him inside us forever and we cannot sin. Thing is people will twist this stuff left and right trying to break the...

    Mark 4:20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.” Luke 8:15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Actually your idea is wrong there. The only saved person was the one who bore fruit to God, none of the others did. Calvin called it the perseverance of the saints.

    The Purpose of Parables Mark 4 10 But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the [a]mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12 so that ‘Seeing...
