I worded that poorly. All Christians admit the new heart to be our condition after we are saved and we disagree on exactly when that event happens. When are we saved? Is is when you confess, believe, are baptized, receive the Spirit, or something else? Even scripture sends conflicting...

Both Calvinist and Arminians believe that. Calvinists believe that only the “elect” (those God “foreknew”, “predestined”, “called”, “justified” and “glorified” [Rom 8:28-30]) are given a new heart, while the others are “vessels created for destruction” [Rom 9:19-24]. Wesleyan Arminians...

Is this site 100% anti-Calvinist? I feel like the last Calvinist in the world every time I visit here. You are aware that the “I am a worm” view is a distortion of the teaching of Total Depravity (which is also known as Total Inability) and was a point of agreement between the Synod of Dort and...

Irrelevant. Any commonly available Calvinist source will confirm my statement. Read R.C. Sproul on Legionier Monistries, or C.A.R.M. for confirmation from modern Calvinists.

I did ... it is called the Bible. I later discovered that the Heidelberg Catechism and Westminster Confession and the Baptist Confession said the same thing that I had read in John and Acts and Romans and Ephesians ...

Neither do Calvinists.

Like the people with the black sneakers waiting to escape in the ship hidden in the tail of the Hale-Bopp comet ... at least they had cool black sneakers. :)

ETERNAL SECURITY is one of the hallmarks of Calvinism, so the suggestion that one can maintain or lose a faith given by the sovereign choice of God is antithetical to Calvinism. You will lose your bet.

Yes it is and yes it could, but the KJV chose the word “wealth” and most Christians (old or new) reading that will probably not correctly understand it. How about this one instead: "And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from...

Here is a verse with a word that EVERYONE knows the meaning of, right? "Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth." (1 Cor. 10:24) That was not by Joel Osteen, it is the KJV. :)

The Holy Bible teaches TULIP (just for the record, since you two are acting as if Reformed soteriology comes from the Book of Mormon). [John 6:44] "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. "No one can come to Me" = Total Depravity...

I should have just picked another example. :oops:

If you are going to make a case from the OT that the Bible is sealed, shouldn’t you then exclude the NT?

If only John the Baptist was a poultry! :p

o_O To quote Nancy Regan: “Just say no.”

Tell you what, go get a plate, a serving dish and a roasting pan and try to carry a boars head around in each (or a human head if you have one laying around) and then see if it makes more sense. ;)

Sorry, I came across too strong. "Translation 'A' is inspired by God but translation 'B' is not inspired by God" is just one of those errors that really ticks me off. You just got caught in the splatter. As modern dinner service, a Charger is most commonly a plate a little larger than a...

A 'charger' IS NOT a really big plate that goes underneath all the other plates in a table setting. First, only those familiar with a definition that has fallen out of general use would know that definition at all. To a new Christian, a "charger" is either "a device that restores energy to an...

Greetings, Actually I thought that I was focusing on the content of your response to my comment on THIS topic ... which was to compare yourself to Jesus as the only reason that people are offended by the tone of a post.

If this was a topic on the KJV, then I would reply with: If the KJV is so easy to understand for modern readers, then "What is a 'charger'?"
