I ask you to respond to my statements and not to Calvinism and you say 'I' am erecting a straw man? Stranger

GodsGrace (Gen. 3:5) "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Gen. 3:6-7)"...she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband...and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were...

Eve did know the consequences as well as Adam. Eve was deceived, as the woman is the weaker vessel. Adam was not. Eve was just as responsible, but Adam was the head of the human race. Adam did not succumb to the temptation as Eve did, and ate for different reason. He ate knowing exactly...

In reading the Bible it is not hard to see that God is concerned with growth and maturity of the believer, His sons and daughters. Even before we are born-again God brings things into our lives to form us as He wants us. Then when we are born-again, we are as children of God learning and...

Something as simple as 'disobedience' to God is idolatry. To know God's will in a matter and to do opposite is idolatry. (1 Sam.15:22-23) "And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than...

(Philippians 2:6-7) "Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." Vines dictionary says of 'form', "Morphe denotes the special or characteristic form...

tigger 2 What is your point? Are you arguing against the Trinity? Or are you arguing aginst Jesus being God? You wrote a lot, but didn't say much. Stranger

I understand perfectly what you wrote and are trying to do. You want to align me with Calvinism because you believe you have a ready set argument against Calvinism. If your understanding of who the elect are differs from mine, then show me. Don't try and teach me Calvinism. Stranger

Take it to the correct thread. Stranger

Well the past few Sundays I have sat down and watched other sports during the afternoon. Sometimes it was NASCAR, or Pro Bull Riding. Today it is Formula 1 racing taking place in old Austin town. And as I sat down to watch it sure was nice to be able to watch a sport without having a...

You could say we are guilty of Adams sin by imputation. Stranger

I use 'of God' as God through John wrote and meant it. And I explained it to you how it was the correct interpretation. If you want to ignore it, that is fine. Don't pretend you don't understand what I said. If you don't understand what I said, then how can you accuse me of using 'of God'...

I know a baby is of not of the so-called age of accountability. So what? Did you read what I said? Well, you define what all believe original sin to be. Whether we caused it is immaterial. We are guilty of it. By imputation. For some reason you don't want to say that. We are guilty...

As I said, the lot is no longer a legitimate method. Divisions occurred in the Old Testament also. In (1 Cor. 15:5) Paul is acknowledging Matthias choice though he was not yet chosen. As (Acts 1:21-22) says. "Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord...

When I said 'us', I meant the whole human race. Adams sin is imputed to the whole human race, Adams race. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to all of those in Christ, by faith, which make up the race of the Last Adam. And that is us believers. (1Cor: 45-47) It is a wonderful truth...

Yes, every baby born is born a sinner and is separated from God at birth. As to a newborn's destination if it dies, that is a question many have wrestled with. The age of accountability is one way. And it does have some Scriptural support. I have a different view, though I am not going to...

Thanks, I will. I call it the first day of the week. I have no problem if anyone calls it the Christian Sabbath. Stranger

Please understand what I have written. If you want to argue with Calvin, fine. I am not Calvin. Don't try and force his Calvinism on me. Stranger

Why does evangelization conflict with election? (2 Thess. 2:13) (Rom. 10:14-15) The elect is God's part. My part is to evangelize. Stranger

I don't know what you mean by 'unconditional election'. God has His elect. God knows those who are His and they are those that are the lost and that will be saved. Stranger
