So many words of man and so few words of God in this topic. Those few words of God offered all come from the Tanakh. I would offer only one thought: “I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is...

It is the non-Calvinist that refuses to correctly define “free will”. Is your Will Free to live a completely sinless life and deserve a place in heaven without the need for a savior? (If not, then why not?)

The division between Particular and General Baptists goes back to the first church to call itself Baptist (the 1600’s). For the last 400 years, there have been Particular and General Baptists worshiping together in most Baptist Congregations with the majority swinging back and forth between the...

Could you be specific? Which is “Judgement Day”? Ephesians 2 Hebrews 2 2 Corinthians 4 (Scott was linking these to some belonging to Jesus [“the Father has given me”] and others blinded to the gospel by the devil.) As a ‘Particular Baptist’ (there is no Calvinist Church) I would place...

I presented scripture [Ephesians 1] that said the same thing already, so your axe to grind is with Paul and God rather than ‘Calvinists’. As you claim this works, it is both not Biblical and not-Calvinism. This, too was already addressed and you can read the Westminster Confession of Faith...

What does Calvinism teach that is false? Please be specific if you are going to tell me that reading the Bible has led me to a false gospel.

Sufficient for all, effective for all that the Father has drawn … not sufficient for all and effective for none, until man finishes what God only started. Ephesians 2 … did God make them alive while they were yet dead in sin or not? Did Jesus actually save anyone or not? Did Jesus actually save...

Ok, confuse yourself and God if you want. Who am I to stop you. :)

Have I claimed that scripture teaches this? No. Then it is only YOUR invented “what if” that you hold against the Doctrines of Grace. What you are railing against is Double Predestination. Specifically, it is “positive-positive double predestination” or the teaching that God actively causes...

[Ephesians 1:3-6] 3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5...

I note you ignored my quoted verse, so one good deed deserves another. Here are two verses and a question: [Genesis 3:8] “And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the...

I don’t. Nobody that I know does. Problem solved (actually, non-extant).

The question was about GOD … it is always dangerous to conflate us with God. God gets to judge … we don’t. God has the right to hate His enemies and to punish our enemies … we are called to teach people about God’s love (if they reject His love, they will learn about His wrath soon enough...

That was only an explanation why nobody answered it ... I did not intend any accusation or personal attack. [sorry]

Yup ... but I don't think it implies anything casual. Maybe like being banished from court with a warning "if I ever see your face again, you will die" rather than a short "time out in the corner". Now does God change his mind or is HIS "settled opposition" to something more permanent?

No sweat from me ... I welcomed the distraction. :)

Stop confusing these poor people! The last thing they came here for is to talk about what the Bible actually says. This is a "Calvin killed Servetus, so all Calvinists are mean and TULIP is EVIL!" topic. ;)
