So you're saying you have a problem with what it says in 2 Corinthians 3:12 (kjv)?

The Greek on that verse bears out that "hate" there means "to love less"...which is also what we would come up with when comparing scripture with scripture. I am not saying that immediate and topical context don't matter; only that they aren't necessary to be able to come to the proper...

Each verse that you go to to interpret Romans 10:9-13, you need to go to the whole of scripture to understand what they are saying, before you can understand them correctly to be able to use them to interpret correctly what Romans 10:9-13 really says. I would say that it is easier to take each...

This then is how the scripture should read: #1: Rom 10:9, That if thou shalt be saved, thou shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, and confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, Rom 10:10, For with the heart man is righteous unto believing and salvation is unto with...

This is what I am saying about Calvinism: that it takes away the means by which we are saved and trivializes it. It teaches that a man does not need to receive the Lord Jesus because if he is even able to do so he is already saved and therefore it is not necessary to do so.

This is contrary to Romans 10:9-13. Rom 10:9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is...

So, now that you have been regenerated so that you do not hate Christ, I urge you to receive Him (by confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus, even calling on His name). And you will be saved.

I am for Him.

So you are saying that you still hate God?

I can't recall a moment in which I hated the Lord. I know that I must have before I was born again. But much of my memory of what it was like to not be born again is not in my brain anymore. I know what I was in my heart; I do not recall if or how my iniquity was directed towards God.

Unless you can think of a solid reason why you shouldn't...

So are you saying that you yourself hate Christ? Surely you are included in the statement "all men".

So, repent.

The invitation is being given to you therefore, since you claim to be in the church. Also, would you prevent an unbeliever from receiving Christ according to John 1:12 because of your misinterpretation of this verse? Jesus may indeed be knocking on the heart's door of an unbeliever; and you...

The fact that you say no does not preclude that others will say no...and the fact that they will say yes is an indictment on those who would blame God (through the teachings of Calvinism) for their choice to reject Jesus. Since this has not yet been mentioned in this thread, I will state what I...

No, actually it wasn't' because he prayed in English afterwards, and his prayer in English was very likely the interpretation. See 1 Corinthians 14:13-15. The Holy Spirit is God; not just a part of Him.

The invitation is being given...Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart...the question is, will you receive Him by confessing Him as your Lord and Saviour?

I did what the Bible says is needed: Rom 10:9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is...

If I'm not mistaken, the people at Azusa Street majored on the book of Acts. They wanted to be "Luke-hot"!
