... [Genesis 3:6 NASB] 6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make [one] wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Yup, man is a god and God sits in...

Thanks, On behalf of everyone that believes in a Sovereign God whose arm is not short and just loves hearing Him described as a monster and Calvinists as the “enemy” for embracing what scriptures actually say.

[John 6:53 NASB] 53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. ... it is pretty important according to Jesus, too.

Yes it does. Jesus SAID that IF He was lifted up, THEN “I will draw all men”. Jesus does not lie. Jesus WAS lifted up, therefore Jesus DID “draw all men”. So what actually happened? Was every person in the world without exception drawn to Jesus? Were some “men from everytribe and tongue and...

What happened when Jesus was lifted up? That is probably what Jesus meant would happen.

Wrong. However, I will let you find the answer in scripture for yourself ... I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise as you discover just how many different ways God confirms His grip on you.

Your response makes Jesus out to be an idiot. In John 6, the people are grumbling when Jesus tells them the “No one can come to Him unless the Father DRAWS (to compel by force) them” ... which is an utterly nonsensical response if God draws EVERYONE. It makes Jesus’ statement completely...

It depends on what you think about your life and what death is. Before God chose to intervene, I had accepted that everyone dies ... most sooner rather than later ... and going out in a literal blaze of glory was better than waiting for luck to run out and then choosing between suicide by cop...

Salutations: It matters if it is true or not. Men once misused the scripture on creation to prove the world was flat (with four corners) and covered by two domes (one for the air and one for the stars). Does it matter if the world is really flat or really round? The difference in the case of...

The gospel was NOT preached to all of the people living in the Western Hemisphere prior to 15th Century, but if “all men without exception” were drawn to the resurrected Jesus in AD 33, then these people that never heard the gospel were included in “all men”. So my question stands, HOW WERE...

Rather than speculate on “what if”, we can simply believe what God says ... [Romans 9] ... so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand ... not because of works but because of Him who calls ... "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED." ... TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME...

How does that apply to those who can never hear the gospel? Like the people living in North America before the 1500’s. That was my original question to you when you made it sound like they were saved without knowing Christ.

By the man or by God? Remember, your example was someone who was still “blinded” to the “foolishness” but WANTED to “call upon His name” ... but God would not allow it. That was what you were concerned about.

Since you will not believe me, perhaps you will hear God ... [John 3:19-20 NASB] 19 "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 "For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to...

You should look a little closer at the word “foreknew” as it is used in Romans 8:29. It does NOT mean to know about someone or something, like knowing a fact. Foreknew can have that meaning in English, but the Greek word used does not mean knowledge. “Foreknew” in Greek means a personal...

Tread carefully. You are tiptoeing up to the edge of men being saved without the need to know Christ. Are Buddhists and Muslims saved? Is Jesus “the way, and the truth, and the life” and “no one comes to the Father but through [Him]”? ... or are there many paths to God? If men can be saved...

This is true and I even said so. However, you went beyond this to talk about a “mythical” person who really and truly wanted to repent and please God and be saved, but God pushed them away. Read Romans 1 about men being without excuse and John 3 about the judgement that men love darkness and...

Why bother posting scripture, all you do is ignore my argument, tell me I am wrong, and ask me to explain three examples of scripture pong. Now explain for me how EVERY PERSON ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH FROM THE YEAR AD 33 ON was drawn to Jesus Christ when millions of people were born, lived and...

Is this true or not ... [Romans 10:12-17 NASB] For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." How then will they call on Him in whom they have not...

That is nonsense and not real Calvinist theology. Calvinists also do not teach that one can be transformed by the rebirth and continue to live a reprobate lifestyle, so the worst of the “Once Saved Always Saved” strawman is not Calvinism either. If God did not choose you, then you have no...
