It's amazing what one reads on the internet.

Prophecy People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud, stuck-up, rude, and disobedient to their parents. They will also be ungrateful, godless 2 Timothy 3:2

”For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.“ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Isaiah 54:7 refers to Israel, not the Anointed One.

You can remove Christian as a qualifier. I tend to leave the facts and logic for other’s consideration. Present the logical argument but do not engage the emotional defense mechanisms. I’ve convinced the reason for opposition is not logical but psychological. This thread is well timed. Thanks!

I take it you deny Matthew 18:15-17 and Galations 5:22 are serious words. I've said my peace and shake your dust from my feet.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your many manifest blessings. I'm so grateful for this online community where we get to know you better and love your children better. I pray you see the diverse needs of your children and bless them accordingly. Some need to grow in Christ. Some need to...

In practice, you assert wives are superior with the grant to carte blanch mistreat their husbands.

Wow. Powerful testimony. I've noticed an uptick lately of this snarkiness, correlated with his pretension of being a 1st class Christian. To wit: Not too much humility there. A person who truly had the Spirit of God would be humble enough to allow others to judge for themselves his personal...

Totally wrong and man hating in the extreme. There is nothing in the Bible that says you have to be abused ongoing. Nothing. Marital separation has always been a legitimate thing. Don’t talk damn nonsense!

I mean EXACTLY what you said - minus the snarkiness. Yes or no is how you answer it. Jettison your snarkiness and you got yourself an answer.

Yes, Jesus said that. Coming to Jesus is not the same as accepting him as your Lord and Savior. Do you hold that everyone who comes to Jesus is saved and re-born and no one is a type of Nicodemus?

Yup. That’s 100% what I mean - putting aside all your snarky commentary.

Why not? Not sure how you connect the subject of <Predestination v Free Will> to be a salvation issue. One thing I learned in reading the Bible is how Christianity is less a formal philosophy and more of a practical guide, a moral compass. Do you deny that one must choose the gift of salvation...

Discernment. Practical limits. Everything that exists is limited. In one conversation I had with Catholics decades ago, they equated Free Will to mean one has to have God like powers, such as choosing when to be born, not needing air to breath, food to eat, no need to sleep, etc. Also, I...

I disagree. Call me ignorant, if you will. Predestination has been demonized because it has been abused to contradict the notion of human moral agency, upending any system of justice - divine or otherwise. Of course, we are a product of our upbringing, environment and force of habits but there...

Great example of same ex post facto rationalization.

Sure it is! Until the 2nd half of the 20th century targeting civilians was the norm throughout human civilization. Do you suppose the Amalek's had military babies that needed to be slaughtered? Your entire rant is baseless. Given that Israel is so bad, Hamas ought to unconditionally surrender...

A Calvinist parsed total from utter depravity. Utter depravity means containing no good. Total depravity means we cannot purge ourselves of all bad. Obviously, humans are not utterly deprived. The evidence for this is 9 B people with higher lifestyles than ever. The Scriptural evidence for...

If anything is important, it is. Is it important to diet and exercise? Threads like this make me laugh. If God said, "eat your vegetables," some would say he can't make us.

Shows the power of The Matrix, indoctrination and propaganda. Some of us took the red pill.
