    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Same way an Arminian knows that they are saved. How do YOU know that God forgave your sins? How do YOU know that you have been sealed with the Holy Spirit as a deposit to guarantee your inheritance? How do YOU know that you are a child of God? The difference between a Calvinist and an Arminian...

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Strange how the "Calvinists" are always presenting the actual Scripture and being accused of twisting it, while so many that ... well HATE ... Calvinism just offer long speeches about what Calvinists are supposed to teach devoid of any scripture to support the view that fallen, sinful, natural...

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    [Acts 2:37 CSB] 37 When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: "Brothers, what should we do?" Who is it that 'pierces' human hearts? Want a hint? [Acts 16:14 CSB] 14 A God-fearing woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the...

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Can you really KNOW GOD (as Lord and Savior) from just the evidence of nature? Was His revealed Word really unnecessary? Is the work of the Holy Spirit on an unsaved heart also unnecessary? Romans 1:20-21 (and what follows) is powerful, because it condemns men for not acknowledging that GOD IS...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other...

    Clearly, you belong to NO denomination then ... :rolleyes:

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    As I stated, NOTHING in your post even hints that you know what Calvinism actually teaches. Just bold empty claims that Calvinism is evil. Let’s start with the actual title of this topic, the (P) of TULIP. You argue “Perseverance of the Saints” is a non-biblical term, and it is a non-biblical...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    I told you what was wrong: you presented all opinions with no scripture to back any of it up, so all your post really says is “You hate Calvinism”. So what if you hate Calvinism. What are the odds you even know what it actually teaches? Nothing in your post suggests that you do.

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    Good for you! John Wesley and Billy Graham both accomplished great things while not believing in “Calvinism”. What I wonder is “Do you know what Calvinism actually teaches?” … both John Wesley and Billy Graham did, so they could know what it was that they were rejecting. Most of the anti-OSAS...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” [Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5] Your diatribe of completely unsupported opinions is duly noted. A scripture verse would have been nice.

    I view it in the same light as people that smash their hand with a hammer to get the adrenaline rush … “there is no cure for stupid”, but I don’t throw away my hammer because they are idiots. EDIT: Paul covered the question in Romans 6 … Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    Do you commit any sins in your daily life today? Pride, lust, hate or any sin. Do Born Again Christians ever need to seek forgiveness in our prayers? OSAS ANSWER (From The Westminster Shorter Catechism): Q. 29. How are we made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ? A. We are made...

    (P) was defined in the OP. You have already been corrected and ignored it.

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    I find your misquoting Revelation by selective editing and ignoring context to pronounce a curse upon another Christian … sickening. That is the point that I intended to make. I am generally indifferent to your quotes or his quotes or that anything meaningful remains to be said after 800 posts...

    Secure Eternal Salvation 2

    21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22 [What] if God, wanting to show [His] wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    As stated in the title, those that HATE the Doctrines of Grace (Grace-Haters) “are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.” The above mischaracterization of “Eternal salvation for them” is not a correct understanding of the (P) of T U L I P. Thank you for...

    18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his...

    Where do aborted babies go?

    The OT was less inclined to speculate than we are. Prior to Christ, the narrative typically ended at the grave and it was God alone that knew what lay beyond the grave. Jesus boldly declared truths about AFTER the grave. SOME spiritual truth was revealed to us, but not ALL truth. I find it...

    Where do aborted babies go?

    Well, as long as our righteousness is the yardstick. Does it seem right to abort babies in the first place? Should God send the babies to heaven and their teenage mothers to Hell for murder? What is your feeling about The Flood that killed everyone except Noah’s family (there were probably a...

    What was the thorn in Paul’s side?

    What was the thorn in Paul’s side? Arminians. (Just kidding … cause Paul wrote Romans 9, get it?) ;)
