101, Greetings in the name of the bright Morning Star, our risen Lord and Savior, Yeshewa Mashiach, What you posted speaks nothing to the verse I posted. (Matthew 3:16-17) Neither does it debunk trinitarian theology. Perhaps you have a misguided understanding of the doctrine... God has...

I am not sure what you mean by this. No I am stating that it is the gospel given by the apostles that one must believe. Those that are being saved will continue in this belief and God keeps those He purposes in saving. When speaking of respecter of persons, one must look at the context of the...

John S, Salvation is not conditional on sin, rather on faith and God's mercy. God finds vanity offensive, pride is offensive to God, and so are many other things humanity harbors. This is why we need a Savior, because we are incapable. Is it we are saved by our actions, or by God's actions...

I find this an interesting statement. It is what I would call an incorrect gross generalization. It reeks of bigotry. Truly these aforementioned doctrines speak as God as the acting agent in salvation and perseverance. I do not know anyone who believes in this doctrine that would not also...

Jiggyfly, Sorry but it is too late for me to edit. I should have cited that in the original. The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (Using Strong's Greek reference #'s) and Louw-Nida Greek Lexicon (Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains)

I can appreciate what you are intending with your application of the verse, yet in this case we must look to the context for the validity of what you are attempting to apply. The Ingathering 37 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the...

Let me first ask, what are these repenting from? Sin? Unbelief? Rebellion? Death? In life we can, though our thoughts, words, and actions be able to repent from all of these, yet who is to say we can in death? We have read of the captives being freed, but this before the ascension...

Acts 2:46-47 46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those...

Exodus 34:14 14 —for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God— This is one name he goes by.

Genesis 9:8 8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, Genesis 12:1 1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; Exodus 3:4 4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to...

Greetings, Witness of the Father 37 “And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. 38 “You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. Jesus was speaking to the Jews who did not believe...

No I do not, can you please elaborate? Yes, and just as God first chooses us, we do also respond to His choice. We are not robots or puppets extreme thinking may perceive. Do you not believe God knows who the humble are and are not? Do you not believe God is the Creator of all things...

All persons of the Trinity are involved in this one passage, Father (voice from heavens,) Son (Jesus) Holy Spirit (dove). Matthew 3:16-17 16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove...

Romans 2:11 11 For there is no partiality with God. Acts 10:34-35 34 Opening his mouth, Peter said: “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, 35 but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him. Hebrews 1:8-9 8 But of the...

No actually you are the one stating grace is conditional because we first need to seek favor before it is bestowed upon us. This is evident through your depiction of Noah. They are refused because of unbelief. I will not dispute people are a product of their choices in life. Yet this...

Well technically there are two main answers to your question. Arminianism-Foreknowledge God foreknew those who would have faith, so before the foundations of the word God chose these from the bunch. Calvinism-Namesake or reprobation From the Calvinist perspective we do have the Romans...

Let me make the position explicit so we are on sure ground. I am speaking strictly about our first response of faith. This first response must be deposited, sparked, enacted, initiated, started by God due to our rebellious nature. This is the grace of God in action on behalf of the...

I do not see one verse you posted that says anyone had eternal life, then lost it.

Purity, So the question arises, can humanity, in it's fallen condition, please God, without first receiving some form of regeneration or grace, be it if only in the reception of the gospel itself? Must not this first step be initiated by God, extending His hand to the rebellious state any...
