How were the Indians living in North, Central and South America DRAWN to Jesus during the first 1400 years after Jesus was “lifted up” and before anyone arrived from Europe to share the gospel? You say that “all” must mean “all men without exception” but reality says that “all men without...

If salvation and sanctification are based on the FREE WILL of man, then every promise of God granting “eternal life” needs to come with an asterisk. Your eternal destiny is NOT secure in the hands of the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit does not GUARANTEE any inheritance ... You are...

I love scripture and God. I hate to see scripture misapplied and God made to serve at the pleasure of man. Jesus did not draw ALL MEN WITHOUT EXCEPTION to Himself when He died on the cross. All of the people living in North America prior to the 15th Century had ZERO opportunity to hear the...

Any statement plucked from its context is just a pretext. The devil quoted snippets of truth to try and deceive Jesus. Your modus operendi is showing ... quote a part of something and twist it like a pretzel. Are you really claiming that Augustine was a Free Will Arminian just like you in the...

Liar, liar, pants on fire. Better check your Church History on that fact. The church rejected the Pelagian heresy and accepted the teachings of Augustine until the Middle Ages when it reversed its position and embraced the current Semi-Pelagian doctrine of works based salvation (including the...

No, I just quoted SCRIPTURE. God is the one who said that He hated Esau ... TWICE, in fact, since Paul quoted from the Old Testament. You spend a lot of time accusing me of believing Scripture ... guilty as charged!

Your banning was probably appropriate. It would be appropriate to BAN me from a Jewish only Forum or an Atheists only Forum. Christforum is clear about its purpose in the Terms of Service ... "Note, we are a "fenced" community: Christforums is a Protestant Christian forum, open to Bible-...

Who is born walking with God? King David, a man after God’s heart, was not (by his own words). So EVERYONE is born starting out in a Romans 3 condition and that is why God needs to do what Ephesians 2 describes to make us righteous.

Whose eternal salvation IS discussed in the Old Testament? Enoch? Maybe. Job? Maybe. Abraham? Maybe. All three require a lot of reading into the verses what is not there. I don’t think your argument about the eternal salvation of the “evil” (God’s judgement, not mine) children of Noah’s...

Wherefore, if both the apostles and the teachers of the Church who succeeded them and imitated them did both these things—that is, both truly preached the grace of God which is not given according to our merits, and inculcated by wholesome precepts a pious obedience—what is it which these people...

You said I would quote Matthew 7:13-14? Really? Could you remind me which post you made this prediction in? It means that TRUTH is not determined by a majority vote. Otherwise the world would still be flat and Buddha would be correct.

[Romans 6:1-7 NASB] 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we...

[Matthew 7:13-14 NASB] 13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Quality, not quantity.

Where does that verse add those words? Where in that paragraph is that limitation explained? Is it found anywhere in that Chapter? How can I respond when you make up the opposite meaning of what the text says by adding words?

Sure ... you completely misunderstand the scriptures that both you and I quote and no matter what I post from God you will deny that God really meant SLAVE when God said SLAVE. You will deny that God really meant CHOSE when God said He Chose (the gospels don't apply to us because EVERYTHING that...

Who denies Jesus? [John 3:18-21 NLT] 18 "There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. 19 And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people...

I can’t argue with you because only YOU can speak for yourself and I can only speak for myself. I am a child of God and I am a friend of Christ ... because God says so. For my part I was a slave of sin and death and God laid claim to me as surely as He laid claim to Saul on the road to...

Context ... [2 Timothy 2:8-19] 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned. 10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who...

Fair enough. Context, context, context ... Romans 6:15-19 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone [as] slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin...
