If God wanted to save everyone, why did he say what He did in (Deut. 30:19)? Why didn't He say something else that would insure no one went to Hell. He is God. Couldn't He do that if He wanted to save everyone? Stranger

And what do you base this disappointment on? It can only be that believers have believed a lie. That the Bible is not true. That God did not mean it when He told us these things. That God lied to us. If God has lied to us in the Scripture, then why do you believe anything in the...

Scripture is clear that there are elect angels, just like there are elect men. Correct. (1 Tim. 5:21) Scripture is clear that an angel and other angels rebelled against God and is in rebellion to this day, as you pointed out. Scripture is clear that God has provided a salvation for man, but...

Oh yes. No one has any understanding but you and BreadOfLife. That is the crux of both your arguments. You have to be right because the Roman Church and pope says so. Praise God the Eastern Church split away from you early on. Praise God for the Reformation saints who split away from you...

No, you haven't given many Scriptures, and I have explained the Scriptures you have given to show your err. Why do you and GodsGrace avoid my question concerning the elect angels? Why does God not provide salvation for the fallen angels. Isn't He a monster for not doing that? What do you...

I don't have any problems with the Old Testament. God is just in what He does. If God sends 3000 to hell, He is just. If He saves 3000, He is just. What God does is just. Not what you claim He needs to do to be just. (Rom. 2:11) says there is no respect of persons with God. And there...

I did explain free will within the perimeters of Christianity. Because it doesn't matter if you're a Christian or not, if you jump out of that window your will is going to have consequences. And that is just one example. You have things working on your will. God does not. He acts only in...

If God wants everyone saved, everyone would be saved. It is the will of God that causes the salvation of every individual. The will of man does not want God. God loved Jacob but hated Esau. God did not want to save Esau. It is always up to God who is to be saved. (Is. 6:9-10) "And he...

Predestination and election are not the same thing. And everyone who is elect of God is done so individually. God knows each person individually and knew them individually before the foundation of the world. (Eph. 1:4-5) (Rom. 8:29-30) Because God knows those who are His, they are...

(1 Tim. 2:4) speaks to all classes of men, not of every individual man. Prayers are to be made for all classes of men, even the kings in authority. See (1 Tim. 2:1-2). Even though not many of these are saved, (1 Cor. 1:26). Concerning (2 Peter 3:9), The 'all' here is defined by the...

Only God has free will. Man has a will. God wills with nothing from any outside source pressuring or affecting His will. He wills as He desires. His will is free from any outside influence. Man, however, has many outside influences weighing upon his will, both in the physical and...

God did form humans in the manner that He desired. This is why man is given a will. Not a 'free' will but a will. Though man is created by God in His image, man is still a 'creation' of God, and not God. Neither man or angel can cease to be a creation of God and not God. Though man or...

"It had taken around six hundred years for the papacy, after countless setbacks and defeats, to shape a Roman Catholic Church, for which the foundations were laid by Augustine and the Roman bishops in the fifth century, and in so doing to realize the program developed by Leo I and Gelasius. The...

You read it again. That is what you said. If appeals are made to Scripture, and not made to any oral tradition, or anything else, then appeals are made to Scripture alone. And that is what is being made in (Acts 17:11). Oral tradition is always inferior. (John 21:22-23) "Jesus saith...

They are your words. What is not to like? (Acts 17:11) is a clear example of appealing to Scripture alone long before 16th century. I am not confusing anything. Stranger

That is what your said. See your post #482. So, appeal was made to the Scripture alone long before the 16th century. Paul preaching is not the same as 'oral tradition'. It is Paul's preaching. What Paul preached, we have written down in the New Testament. The Scriptures don't cancel out...

You know who they are though you feign ignorance. The Romanists are those who are under the authority of the Roman Church. Under the authority of the Pope of Rome. Funny how you act ignorant of the truth, and act intelligent in things that are not true. The Bereans searched the...

Consider this. Will God have His way or will, or not? There is more I want to say but don't want to say it until this is answered. If God does not have His way, whose way or will is more powerful than God's? Stranger

It says they searched the 'Scriptures daily'. Thus appeal is made to the Scriptures to determine if a thing is so. Which means you are in error in saying no one appealed to Scriptures only until the 16th century. Nothing is said about appealing to any 'tradition'. The Old Testament...

Why ask if it is possible? Don't you believe the Bible. Of course it occurs. It occurs far more then people want to believe. Doctors and scientists have developed medical and professional names other than demon possession, that are more accepting amongst the unbelievers. Every believer...
