    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Romans 4:1-8 and other passages are clear in giving us the understanding that faith does indeed save. James 2:19, in context, teaches us that faith must be living if it is going to save; that a dead faith (that does not produce works) will be inefficient in bringing salvation to the soul.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I didn't love the Lord before He apprehended me. But my decision to receive Him was not based on love for Him; it was based on the instinct of self-preservation. I don't think that it is otherwise for anyone who receives Him.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Making a decision for Christ does not indicate any virtue on my part. Rather, it indicates that I am not insane. Because anyone faced with the message of the gospel would have to be insane to reject Christ. There is nothing of virtue in it at all. It simply means that I see clearly the...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    And here, the "footprints" that you are trying to clean up are the testimony of certain scriptures (such as Romans 10:9-13, John 1:12, and Revelation 22:17)....

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Wait a minute, I thought that you believed that no one can go after Christ because they have spiritual inability...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    It does indeed mean that, if you consider the implications of how the news of Jesus would eventually be spread to everyone.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    It seems to me that Calvinism bases its presuppositions on the redefinition of the words "world" and "all". Forget the dictionary. Define it according to your doctrine. Last time I checked, this was called "eisegesis".

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Is the kjv translated from the Greek? You actually bit the bait, indicating that you do not believe that the kjv is holy scripture. I am saying it is, whether or not other translations are also holy scripture. Look as I might, I couldn't find the scripture you are referring to. The...

    Is belief in the Trinity necessary for salvation?

    Jesus hasn't kicked me out; and that is what is most important.

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    It has everything to do with it. This scripture states that there will come a time when 144,000 purebred Jews will evangelize the world. Pure speculation. Rom 11:28, As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers'...

    Is belief in the Trinity necessary for salvation?

    Act 24:14, But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: I think that I am in good company with Paul the apostle, and the AOG is in bad company with the people...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    It depends on how old his child is. if his child is old enough to understand the fact that a truck is coming, and he should get out of the way, then the father did everything that he needed to do; and the son in the analogy is completely responsible for not getting out of the way of the truck...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    No; Nathanael is Nathanael. I am not rejecting what Jesus said to him; and am unsure of what your point is in bringing him into the discussion.

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    I suppose then that, therefore, what is written in Revelation 7 will never come to pass.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    The scripture plainly shows forth the gospel that we are preaching; however it might be impossible for the blind to see and for the deaf to hear what is plainly shown forth in the holy scriptures. Except when they are made about you...

    Is belief in the Trinity necessary for salvation?

    That's what you think. See Matthew 5:10-12, 2 Timothy 3:10-12.

    Is belief in the Trinity necessary for salvation?

    Which is an indictment on the AOG. Eph 4:4, There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Are you kidding me? It is specifically found in verse 16. You think that such an obvious lie would ever be believed by anyone? John 3:16 is one of the most quoted verses in all of scripture.
