Didn't I ask that?

In a sense that our sanctification is preplanned, yes. As far as salvation is concerned, God has made all the provisions necessary for all mankind to be brought to saving faith in Christ. But not all mankind will avail themselves of the gift offered. They were not predestined to reject it. God...

You are growing, and rosebuds, though not mature, are still perfect in every stage of their growth. We don't have to be free from sin in order to be perfect. Do long as we are growing and tending in the right direction, we are safe.

If Jesus needed to die, then at least at that time was there not a record of sin? Where did that sin come from that was laid upon Christ of not from the recorded entries in the books of heaven? The record of our own sin today is recorded until such time as we accept Christ...and at the end of...

Faith in what you may ask. Not what. Who. Faith in the word... Promises... Of God. Trusting that what He has said is absolute truth. That indeed Jesus died and shed His blood in order to redeem you and reconcile you to the Father. This faith must be personal, and must accept that you, as an...

I agree with you as far as you go, but you have omitted one very important factor essential for an individual to be ultimately saved... Faith.

I don't see the connection between your statement re record, and the text. However, from my understanding there is most certainly a record of which the blood sprinkled before the altar and on its horns and before the veil was a type. That record is to be cleansed during the antitypical day of...

I don't believe Hobie was suggesting that people want to burn in hell. However, most people who reject salvation in Christ do so because they cannot abide Christianity. They do not want church, they despise holiness, hymn singing is anathema to them, going without sin and appeasing their carnal...

I have a challenge. Please read carefully the following, and then answer the concluding questions using Scripture only as the basis for your answers. 1 Peter 1:18,19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received...

I apologise, you are right. I forgot that this thread was focused on unbelievers. And you are right about ECT being of interest perhaps to unbelievers, even the reason they don't believe. The Bible presents God as one who would value our friendship and love. Even a God who sacrificed Himself for...

The scriptures as I view them, are principally a revelation of God. I don't think learning about God will ever be exhausted. I don't think the scriptures however will be the only source of understanding of course, but in context of how our lives played out and how so much of history reflected...

Hobie correctly mentioned that America, as a national entity, would erect all image to the papal beast. We see that in the scripture wording itself.... KJV Revelation 13:12-14 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast (the Papal institution) before him, and causeth the earth and...

He chose to confuse people with the Bible? HE chose? There's a lot of presumption going on there. What if God chose to give the Bible as a teaching tool throughout eternity? Which would mean that a full understanding of the depths and riches of the scriptures would never be realised. On this...

Correction.... KJV Matthew 6:33 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Now my friend, ask yourself, even better, shall we ask God, "what is your righteousness"? He answers... KJV Deuteronomy 6:25 25 And it shall be our...

Isaiah is talking about a NT event. Peter did not, on account of that vision, pop down to the local Macca's and buy a hamburger and shout his mates a feed of scallops. Peter later explained precisely what the vision meant... That he ought not call people unclean... As they were candidates for...

You are free to have sexual relations with someone other than your wife/husband because you are "free from the law"? You are free now to worship a log of wood in the forest because that was an OT law which now doesn't exist for Christians? Does that apply to all the Ten Commandments, and all...

A couple of points. First, you will find no reference in scripture describing, pinpointing, listing, or mentioning unclean foods. Not one mention, anywhere. If God counseled anyone at all, even Noah, that certain animals were unclean, God was not saying they were food. In fact the opposite. God...

Very good Davy.

The Creator of the universe is God, but wasn't my God until I chose to accept Him as my Lord and Saviour and was born again. Then He became the God of the living. Formerly, He wasn't my God as I was dead in trespasses and sin. Satan was my god. This world was my god. Sport was my god. I was my...

Always good to have an actual biblical answer, as opposed to those that answer according to false traditions. The Bible indeed explains itself.
