farouk, One of our leading Rugby League professional players, Kevin Naiqama, a committed Christian from Fiji , has this tattooed on his back: On his front, this is the tattoo: REBECCA WILSON, CHRISTIAN NICOLUSSI, DEAN RITCHIE The Daily TelegraphJuly 29, 20162:23pm Kevin Naiqama’s tattoos...

farouk, Why or why not? How is baptismal regeneration excluded and the cleansing power of Scriptures included, especially when nothing about Scripture is in the context and being born from above/born again is there in John 3:3. Since he spoke this to Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, and Jesus...

farouk, I struggle financially on an age pension now that my working life is over. I have no desire nor money to put into self-serving tattoos when I can support another Compassion child. Oz

farouk, Let's stick with John 3:5. What does it mean to be 'born of water and of the Spirit'? Oz

farouk, Not around here, mate. As a nation we are a secular, godless nation promoting politically correct immorality - homosexual marriage, transgenderism, euthanasia, abortion right up to birth of the child, prostitution, gambling - and many mainline denominations in Qld and elsewhere that...

TB, Quoting verses proves nothing - without interpretation. Mark 16:16 is not regarded by most language authorities as belonging in the canon of Scripture, hence the statement after Mark 16:8 in... NIV: 'The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20'. ESV...

To whom does God extend his grace?

logabe, Since when did 'draw' mean 'drag'? Leading Greek exegete of the 20th century, Dr A. T. Robertson wrote of John 12:32: Will draw all men unto myself (panta elkusw pro emauton). Future active of elkuw, late form of elkw, to draw, to attract. Jesus had already used this verb of the...

'The "elect" are the "whosoever-will," and the 'non-elect" are the "whosoever-wonts"' (Sam P Jones). Revelation 22:17 (NIRV) confirms this: 'The Holy Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the person who hears should say, “Come!” Anyone who is thirsty should come. Anyone who wants to take the...

The gazillions are without excuse when they stand before God. What have they done with the light given to them?

You avoid the issues I raise regarding God's salvation and human free will, so you can spin off into what you want to talk about. I don't buy into your tactics.

Poor illustration!

I'm missing no such thing. You are missing the content of Titus 2:11 (ESV), 'For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people'.

Dave, justbyfaith gave you Scriptures to demonstrate that this is not by works but according to the teaching of Romans. What do you do? You have such a fixation with the Calvinistic view of election/predestination that you are not open to Scriptures that contradict that view. Could I label...

Dave, Free will to respond to God is not conditional salvation. It is the free will God has given to all people since the time of Adam & Eve and their choice to eat of the tree. This free will of alternate choice enables them to respond positively or negatively to God's offer of salvation...

Another red herring that doesn't address what I wrote. There is no 'gloss' with me. There is red herring avoidance by you.

Dave, Again you give a red herring and don't deal with the free will Scriptures I've presented. As for the "gazillions who never heard the gospel", haven't you read your Bible carefully? 18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their...

Dave, Again, you are off and running with your own views. You have refused to answer my questions and comments from #194 & #236. Your responses to me are red herrings that are designed to divert attention from the issue that you started with the OP - free will and the Gospel. When you use...

Dave, God's giving all human beings the opportunity to accept the Gospel or reject is, is NOT salvation by works. God would never tell people to do that which breaks the law of non-contradiction. What did Paul and Silas say to the Philippian jailer when he asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be...

You refused to deal with the biblical evidence I provided against your position.
