It seems that Total Depravity has taken hold of them, so that they are unable to believe the truth of the matter...

"for ever" means "for ever". And of course there is a practical aspect to being perfected for ever. If you have not received Jesus as your Lord and as your Saviour from sin, you will very likely find that you stumble and fall more often than not. But if He is your Lord; and if He has set you...

As for me, it isn't against my will. God is able to work into your heart the virtue of diligence if you ask Him to. As for me, He has done it in my heart.

So you do not have an open mind to anything you might deem an "anti-Catholic lie". You are not open-minded to anything that goes against your own religion...that is the bottom line.

I noticed quite a delay in your response....it took a little while for you to process that scripture and then harden your heart to it enough to deny it publicly, I gather.

We do the will of God because we have received Jesus perpetually as Lord. Therefore we will abide in Him for ever. When we believe in Jesus, He places His love in our hearts (Romans 5:5). We will "automatically" love our brother if we believe in Jesus and have received His Spirit by faith...

As for this... ...I think that he was probably just messing with you....

Nope, they are not obliterated. They are answered by the scriptures and the statement that I gave in post #66 (BAPTISM).

What posts are you referring to, specifically?

I am not going to argue with you...you have to argue with the scriptures and with the Lord, not me.

I agree that we must continue in His goodness in order to remain saved...however, I would contend that there is a preservation by the Holy Spirit that takes place in the hearts of those who truly receive Jesus Christ, not only as Saviour, but as Lord: 1Jo 2:17, And the world passeth away, and...

The "we" is those of us who have been brought to Christ, in context. Yes; and He uses the law to do it: Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Rom 3:20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh...

We are certainly not justified by the law; however if we do violate the law it identifies us as sinners if we are under it. And it is not only the Jews who are under the law. The only ones who are not under the law are those who are in Christ. The law is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ...

Romans 10:13 should then say "For whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD has been saved." Does it say that? I encourage the readers to be as the Bereans! Act 17:11, These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched...

Gentiles are "just as wicked as Jews," and also need a schoolmaster to lead them to Christ. Consider Rom 2:12, For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; This indicates that the law is something...

Here is a major reason why I do not believe in Calvinism, if anyone will follow my logic. I did believe in Irresistible Grace; because love never fails, and the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth (1 Corinthians 13:8 and Revelation 19:6). This doctrine means that either Limited Atonement is the...

These verses do not exactly say what you say they say. If they did, then we can with all good conscience cut Romans 10:9-13 out of our Bibles.

Calvinism teaches that God pushes them through the gate; that they do not walk in of their own volition. The Bible, on the other hand, says the following: Psa 110:3, Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew...

Sometimes I feel like this is how people look at the verses we give in defense : And "yvette nichole brown" is about all they really say. Anybody can list a string of verses; most people will not even look at them....some will take the reference itself as proof of the position even if the...
