If you didn't present the Reader's Digest Abridged Version of the quote, it would be clearer that you have the horse driving the cart and the farmer pulling it. "But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give...

You are ignoring the first three chapters of Genesis. The world and people created in Genesis 1 were "very good". The world and people in Genesis 4 thru today are not. God explained what happened to change things. If you will not believe the word of God, what chance do I have to change your...

Calvinism doesn't deal with Adam and Eve. They are past changing their eternal destiny. Calvinism deals with those still living. (T) [Total Inability] Nobody is able to live Holy or earn salvation. (U) [Unconditional Election] God chose to save some for reasons having nothing to do with the...

The problem with pointing a finger at someone, is that three fingers point back at you. I might point out that YOU made no attempt to address the text which I quoted, even as you accuse me of ignoring the text which you provided. However, just to prove my point that Calvinists are not afraid...

The obvious question is how much personal "righteousness" is enough? The imputed righteousness of Christ is perfect and absolute, but you are advocating a measure of self-righteousness to qualify for salvation and I am concerned how much I am allowed to miss the mark of complete perfection by...

... but for heaven sakes, don't read the BIBLE or you might read: [John 6:43-44] 43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. [John 10:26-29 NASB] 26 "But you...

1. I note that you lack any scripture references to support your opinions. 2. It is always refreshing to meet another mind-reader who knows what I believe and will spare me the effort of having to bother answering for myself with what I actually believe. 3. If the Bible is in such harmony...

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Google “Calvinism Wikipedia”. It is hardly the best source of information, but it is at least less biased and more truthful than the anti-Calvinist crap you are are being fed here. Calvinists follow “Reformed Theology” as defined at the Synod of Dort. We do...

You have demonstrated that walking in disobedience is proof of an unsaved status. That does not necessarily mean that obedience is a prerequisite for salvation. It is equally possible that obedience is a “fruit” of salvation.

According to Ephesians 2 and Romans 9, obedience is not possible without salvation.

I would argue that ONLY born-again people have free-will. The rest are slaves to their sins and fallen nature.

“Is supposed to”, or does?

... and what are born-again people pleased to do? I believe James discussed this in his letter.

When did God save Noah: When God warned him about the flood? When God instructed him to build an Ark? When God closed the door? When God brought the Ark safely to rest on dry land? When God marked his covenant with a rainbow? ... YES, to all. [Romans 8:28-30 NASB] 28 And we know that God...

Can those who receive a new heart "impenitently live in disobedience, rebellion to God"? Does the Blood of Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit really transform us or not? I believe the evidence shows that it does.

"Calvinism" is a historic shorthand description for what is properly known as Reformed Soteriology (soteriology = the study of salvation). What is known as Arminianism started out with a publication called the "Remonstrances" which challenged the traditional 'Orthodox' view held by the...

Then join the Padeobaptists in drowning Credobaptists for claiming that it is wrong to baptize an infant since baptism is a sacrament for those who confess a belief in Christ and only for those who confess a belief in Christ. Burn Protestants at the stake for rejecting the One True Church and...

What’s wrong with Charles Wesley? Perhaps you could point out the issue from some of his writings (6000 Hymns): Arise, My Soul, Arise 1.⁠Arise, my soul, arise! Shake off thy guilty fears; The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, Before the throne my...

This is NOT what Calvinism teaches. Rather ... “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” [Philippians 1:6]

That is a correct statement about Calvinism. What does scripture say about the old heart? “intent of man's heart is evil from his youth“ [Genesis 8:21] “THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;” [Romans 3:11] “dead in your trespasses and sins” “according to the prince...
