    Yes, @amadeus is a jewel. Do you ever watch Sid Roth's It's Supernatural. I know some don't like him, but God has spoken to me so often since I asked Him to teach me the meaning of His Word, and immediately He started answering that prayer. Wow! Sid Roth has a lot of guests that have come out...

    Well, I'm happy to say my fruit of the Spirit in that area has grown by leaps and bounds since I first got on any Christian forum about a decade or more ago. The forums are a great place to grow in that area. My Avatar can be found online. That's what I did because I've been feeding raccoons...

    Actually He did know who would answer His drawing. That is called His "foreknowledge." The word omniscience - all knowing - would be wrong if He "didn't know."

    Nope, I'm not her. But I like the name, Sophie. As I recall, you were the one who told me about this forum from ChristianCafe. Or maybe it was CARM. What does Sophie believe that made you think I was her?

    @Hidden In Him Isn't it amazing what fables some prefer with their itching ears.

    Don't forget what Paul also said: 2 Timothy 2: 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver...

    So you name yourself, "lifelong sinner" because you realize you are not one of the elect"? That must not feel very good. How do you cope with knowing you are going to hell, and there isn't anything you can do about it? Certainly not "good news" - what "gospel" means.

    Omnipotence is His power. You mean omniscience - all knowing. He is also omnipresent - is everywhere. If you believe your sins are covered by Jesus blood so that the Father cannot see them. Think again. There is nothing hidden from His sight. That is why the TRUTH is that Jesus blood TAKES AWAY...

    OSAS is up to you. Abiding in Jesus continuously is the only way that OSAS is valid. IOW we cannot quench the Spirit and go back to willful sinning and expect to remain on the path towards salvation, which is the prize at the end, not the beginning. 1 John 3:21-24 21 Beloved, if our heart does...

    Read the letter to Sardis, Revelation 3:1-6. Note that from the beginning of the Reformation the teaching was according to Jesus, "you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." Also note that John Wesley's holiness movement is also mentioned, "you have some even in Sardis that walk with...

    I don't need Calvinist doctrines. By the way, is 1 John 1:6 also a Christian because it also says "we"? I see you need others to think for you. The word "practice" was added, not in the original. How many times do you have to commit murder before you are a murderer? Believe Jesus! John 8:32-36

    If you are talking about 1 John 1:8 that is mankind BEFORE verse 9. I'm afraid you have believed what Calvin taught about John and Paul's words. Even if you think rationally without the guidance of the Spirit you can tell how silly his teachings are.

    Those who actually believe cannot sin. 1 John 3:9; 1 John 5:18

    What is Predetermined?

    You shouldn't scoff at the truth. So is sinning everyday what Calvin taught you? Didn't Calvin also teach you that you will always have your old nature as long as you are in this body? What about Romans 6:6-7? 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might...

    Let's see. Did Calvin teach we are born again to be sinless? Did Jesus take away our sin, or merely cover it up?

    What is Predetermined?

    Paul did and so can we if we've received the divine nature of Christ, being born again. This is certainly the church age of Laodecia with all those who don't believe they need anything more from God - like His righteousness. 1 Thes. 2:9 For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for...

    You're not a calvinist by choice? Does that mean you were predestined to believe Calvin over the Word of God?

    Salvation is by Grace through Faith.

    Faith that Jesus is stronger than we are, and we cannot be good enough on our own to enter heaven - we need Him to change us and make us born again as He said we must be. The grace we receive is the divine power 2 Peter 1:2-4 of God to be able to partake of the divine nature of God, no longer...

    Tongues

    Or women. LOL Anyway, most everything in the book I received through hearing God's voice. There was only one thing received from man, and that was that the tongues of Mark 16 and of 1 Cor. 12 are two different gifts of tongues. That's all. From there God taught me the particulars that they sound...
