    Saved By Fear?

    You say I get it wrong but ignore most of my post. You ignore that which pertains to your oxymoronic use of the Bible. Again I ask, tell me what is your doctrine concerning the God, Christ, the Church, Israel, and last day events, and how it differs from the Bible. Tell me where it came...

    Saved By Fear?

    Just because I believe the Bible to be the written Word of God does not make the Bible God. Nor does it mean I worship the Bible. It means I have the same opinion of the Bible that God does Who gave it. I place the same importance upon it as God does. It is only because it is the Word of...

    Of course Eve failed in not obeying the known commandment of God. She was deceived by the serpent, (satan), and led to believe otherwise. I don't believe Eve had a false understanding or false opinion of the commandment up until that time. Yes, Jesus placed the importance of following the...

    The Word

    Well, you said, to settle the argument quickly for those who think God or the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible. You say God has told you the Bible is not His Word. But, He has told me differently. Now what? You are back where you were in the different accounts of the resurrection. You reject...

    The Word

    I believe I did get what you wrote. And, I did address your comment on the accounts of the resurrection. And based on differences in these accounts, you do not believe the Bible is the Word of God. You apparently believe one can get the Word of God by the Spirit in reading the Bible, but...

    The Word

    And why is your word, your experience, the final word that settles the argument quickly? Is there not another with the Spirit of God who believes the Bible is the Word of God, as told in the Bible? But, yours is the final word? In fact, there are going to be believers with the Spirit of...

    Opinions

    This appears to be a self-defeating topic. You say, "...in the matters of the Almighty given by the Almighty, the Almighty is the interpreter thereof, no one else." Is the Bible the 'matters of the Almighty'? When one turns to the Bible to learn of God, is he seeking the Almighty's opinion...

    Saved By Fear?

    You didn't answer my question but want to now ask me a question. Tell me first, is the Bible the Word of God or not? Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    Exactly. God's will is different than our own. And what is the difference? He has free will. We do not. Our will does not necessarily mean 'want'. It can, but it doesn't always. Let's say someone kidnaps you and your two children. They decide to kill one of your children. They...

    Saved By Fear?

    You don't believe the Bible is the Word of God yet you quote it, and say I am an odd one. In other words, just because it is in the Bible doesn't mean it is true, you say. Which means you determine what is true in the Bible and what is not. You have told me before the Bible is not the...

    Saved By Fear?

    (2 Thess. 2:13) Because God has chosen the way that His chosen come into salvation. And, because God told you to. That alone should be enough reason. Or, must God prove to you the why before you do it? Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    Again, I never said man does not have a will. Pay attention to the description and definition I have given concerning 'will' and 'free will'. All you are doing is saying they are the same. And they are not. Is God's will and your will the same in nature? And please quit giving...

    Saved By Fear?

    The Man Jesus Christ submitted to the will of another. That is not 'free will'. When the Son became a Man, Jesus Christ, He was placed in the position of His will not being 'free' just as mans will was not free. He was placed in the position where things acted upon His will to influence His...

    No kidding. You didn't write the reply I was responding to. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    I am addressing the issues. As I said, God foreknows the person and chooses. The person will choose as a result. Yes, God knows how the person will choose, because God knows who He has chosen. And the person will choose accordingly. If you don't want to reply back then don't. That's...

    Saved By Fear?

    The point is that God foreknows the person and chooses. He doesn't look ahead into the future and then see who is going to believe and who won't. How is the Man, Jesus Christ exercising 'free will' when He says, 'not my will, but thine be done'? If His will were free He would have not went...

    Saved By Fear?

    This has nothing to do with the difference between God's will and mans will, which is what I was addressing to GodsGrace. If you want to respond to a post not addressed to you, then at least stay in context. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    I have always said that Christ paid for all. That salvation is offered to all. That doesn't discount the 'election of God'. Election is not being addressed in (Titus 2:11). So? Election does not remove mans will. As I have said many times already. God not only chooses who are His, who...

    Once in Heaven, can you lose your salvation?

    Nothing can untie that mess. Stranger

    Saved By Fear?

    No, Scripture is clear how election takes place. God chooses. God foreknows the person, and chooses. Stranger
