Ecc 7:29, Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. Luk 8:15, But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. Act 11:24, For he was a good...

2Sa 12:23

Y'all are contending for the idea that God does not love the sinner. Surely I am the one in the wrong for believing what it says in Romans 5:8 in contradiction to your warped theology. Context never nullifies the meaning of a verse as it is plainly stated. It should be clear from reading the...

I believe that those who read with seeing eyes will see that I am not doing so. Those who read will see that what I am saying is true if they even have eyes to see. It seems that some "Christians" are always in attack mode. Sad...

1Co 14:9, So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. 1Co 14:10, There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 1Co 14:11, Therefore if I...

I really shouldn't even have to point out the error of this, but it becomes necessary when people begin to twist Bible texts to make them fit their own warped theology. Jhn 3:14, And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: Jhn 3:15, That...

It still doesn't hold water as far as I'm concerned. Christ died for us while we were still sinners; He loved us while we were in a sinful state. This is what the text clearly says; and the context of a verse never nullifies the truth of a verse (this is sound hermeneutics). The verse...

It is in the biblical text, however, even if it is not present specifically in John 3:16 (although, technically, it is).

post #1125: It simply doesn't hold water; and therefore I did not and even still do not have the need to answer it.

No, what she was saying (and I agree with her) is that you fit into the basic stereotype that we have of Calvinists. I always reserve the right to peek in on the posts of those whom I have on Ignore.

Did Jesus die for His own sin? He died not for His own sin, but for the sins of others; for He never sinned, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 John 3:5.

I think I will put @Preacher4Truth on ignore also: time to let these blind Calvinists be leaders of other blind Calvinists: and both shall fall into a ditch.

A better scripture to use to proclaim the love of the Lord for sinners is: Rom 5:8, But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. In this, it says that God loves the sinner; and therefore if there is another verse that says that He hates the...

I don't believe that we have to go to the Greek in order to get the true message, is what I'm saying. The English translation is perfectly adequate to give me God's unadulterated message. If I spoke and read Greek as my native language, then of course I might enjoy looking into those...

There are basically two passages that warn us against the depravity of arguing about words: 1Ti 6:3, If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 1Ti 6:4, He is proud, knowing...

Every amateur Greek scholar thinks he knows what the Bible really says. I feel that I can trust the Lord to give me His unadulterated message in my own language in the Bible that I have chosen to read (the king james version). A separate issue is that certain other translations are...

When the Father draws a man to Christ, he is enabled to make a decision either for or against Christ that is unhindered by the world, the flesh, and/or the devil. When a man makes his decision in favour of Christ, that is when the Father gives him to Jesus. The Father drawing a man to Christ...

edited the post: Calvinism is a Cult

It is the characteristic of the unregenerated person that they are in denial of their own sin when called out on it. You have three fingers pointing back at you; there is a beam in your own eye. Take that out before you try to remove the speck out of mine.

There is an alternate interpretation that you have missed, which I have given within the course of this thread. But I am not going to repeat it here in obedience to what it says in Matthew 7:5-6.
