Yeah, what Core said! :)

Believe it or not, I have heard and read many quotes as well as teachings from Calvinists. Many have wonderful, scriptural teachings. I also am aware that John Calvin had differing views with his fellow believers. I do not throw out the baby with the bathwater, lol.

Okay, say you are right about all of this. Where, in scripture does it tell us when the Holy Spirit was taken from men? I have always believed that when The Holy Spirit is taken out of this world, with Christians, this world will become a dark place indeed as, we are the light on the hill, if...

I see the seventh as The Trump Of God. In Rev. they are of angels and hold all the nasty stuff. Is The Trump of God a whole different "Trump"? I am thinking it is, and that we should never even take our armor off as, I believe it is God calling His people to arms! JMHO :)

Yep...it is the third world countries that really cherish Gods Word. And, it is also they who are the ones who are persecuted horrendously. I am talking about our own missionaries and their families as well as the inhabitants. I can easily see miracles taking place in those small pockets of...

Not sure what you mean by "it" being described 500 years ago, unless you are talking about the "T" doctrine?? But still, there is little difference in how you and I look at Total Depravity....and, what quote did you leave? :)

DEPRAVED in totality- morally corrupt, deviant, wicked...pretty much your plain dictionary definition. Spiritually speaking, born into a fallen state because of Adam and Eve's original sin. The only difference in my own view is that, despite the fact that we were born into sin, God still chose...

You got that right. I know of way too many single mothers out there who are still children themselves, in many ways. It is so easy to see what God meant by praying without ceasing...we can never run out of those who need prayer! Not to mention the prayers of gratitude, praise, thanksgiving...

Why are we told to be filled with the Spirit? Ephesians 5:18 "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." In 1 Cor 12, The Holy Spirit imparts gifts. There's: “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit — the Father will send Him in My name —...

I agree. I think the lack of fear comes right alongside lack of reverence that is missing IME. If I were exposed to His Holiness, I Think I would feel such shame and gratitude simultaneously! Ha, how can we even say what we will feel/do?! And yeah, the more we allow pride to take hold, the...

Oh would be it would be such a blessing to be able to meet those on here we have grown close to. We are family, after all. Maybe we could all meet in the middle of the ocean :D

Hi Truth, So good to see you here. Yes, staying busy is so important as is, being around others. At home alone, the thoughts and memories come. Satan would just LOVE for you to isolate yourself cause, he sure knows how to have a ball with the downtrodden! God Bless You my brother, In Him...

I think Epi is speaking to the biggest hypocrites of all...

Yes, I know of some 2 point or 3 point Calvinists but...since I only have a problem with Total Depravity, Limited Atonement, and Irresistible grace, does that make me a 2 point Calvinist? Am still not cemented in OSAS. In Him, nancy

"Paul's spells about quite clearly that the Saints will continue to sin because of the flesh." Yes, he does. I see a big difference between "falling into sin" and "living in sin". Yes, we will lose many battles to sin...hopefully less and less as we continue to seek Him and His ways. I am...

Haha, and "bumble" we do! Just as long as we continue to "bumble" in that race of all races ♥ "These have a form of godliness..." Indeed, and that to me is so obvious! "2 Timothy 3:5 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." I worry about my soft...

"Too often people believe only in what they want the bible to say. But what wisdom is there in twisting the words that are there to save us?" They are fooling only themselves. Why bother??! If one still enjoys and continues in sin, that one simply cannot be saved! The only thing God asks of...

Awesome♥

I find myself lately asking, not just for myself but, for other Christians I know to be blessed with the Grace to be humble enough to listen to others who think and interpret scripture differently than I. If I'm in error, I WANT to know...whether or not I LIKE the answer. I just want to please...

The Holy Spirit convicts the World of sin. Why? To show us our desperate need of a Savior. Acts 2: 36, 37, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in...
