    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well as I do no t know any of these kind of people you are squawking about, I( cannot go speak to them. Only to those who choose to misunderstand there is no bragging rights. The elect are just as much sinners and we are saved by grace- not of ourselves- we have no cause to boast. \ As for...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well it does. But as much of Romans 9 is about Israel , it also , when it comes to the issue of election speaks to all mankind. one just needs to reads the chapter to see when context changes.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well it is what is known as positional and experiential truths. Positionally a person is elect and chosen from the foundation of the world. but experientially, they are lost until they are empowered to trust in Jesus. It is like the biblical truths that we are perfected forever, yet still...

    Why do Catholics…

    Yes they did! The early Jewish believers would stay at synagogue or temple until sundown (which would be Sunday) and held a "Christian " meeting.

    Why do Catholics…

    Well i f you say th eword origin of Easter is the incarnation of Jesus (the coming of Jesus) we await your scholarly proof. sorry but with the massive amount of evidence to the contrary- Just a say so doesn't it cut it.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    How wrong you are ---AGAIN!!!! If it makes sense it is suspect! Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Every one is born lost! No one is born saved! Man has to be born again to be saved! And too bad if you cannot accept...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I don't know all of Calvins teachings. I have his epic on the Christian religion. I just know that teh five points most talk about are biblical truths and not calvin truths. He simply agreed with the Bible on those points!

    Zechariah 14 . . . Fulfilled? or Future?

    so in other words, in your mystical linguistics, you still believe God is writing new SCripture, and by your implication- through you! Yes all that was written about Jesus has been fulfilled I agree with that 100% But that does not mean every prophecy ever inspired by God through the prophets...

    Ukraine’s army has been defeated; all that is left is mop-up

    Putin is nuts- but not that nuts! He now has to deal with Finland wanting to be part of NATO! If he wasn't so old soviet marxist thug- He wouldn't have to have those worries.

    Ukraine’s army has been defeated; all that is left is mop-up

    Maybe you should see the videos of the average Russian citizen who if he finds goods and services can barely afford them anymore! There is a whole lot more to an economy than just oil revenue! Given that hew is cut off from key electronic components , as his military needs repair ( and war...

    Ukraine’s army has been defeated; all that is left is mop-up

    I can see Velinsky giving up the Donbas. It has been nothing but trouble for Ukraine for 8 years now! but they already have stated the Crimea is not ont eh table at all.

    Ukraine’s army has been defeated; all that is left is mop-up

    But this cannot supply the rest of goods they need to run the economy! And as they are removed from teh SWIFT system- they are almost completely cut off from teh rest of world trade.

    Zechariah 14 . . . Fulfilled? or Future?

    Well your arrogance notwithstanding and your faux spirituality (your writing is dripping with condescension, this Jesus never did) . You are ignorant of what I speak, but remember this passage as written unless you have mystically retranslated this as well: Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before...

    Multitudes in Christendom deluded.

    This is true- As Jesus said in MAtt. 7-- "Many will come to me in that day ...". But let us not tryi to pick them out! That is up to God. We must hope for the best and only exhort if we see overt sin in a professed believers life.

    When to give up on someone?

    AWW C'mon! Can't I at least hold onto the foolish thought I am brilliant??? :D:D:D

    Ukraine’s army has been defeated; all that is left is mop-up

    Ukraine's advantage is that they fight like the minute men of the American Revolution! They have legions of small hunter killer packs that pick off Russian troops and equipment. Yes Ukraine has sustained serious losses, but the fight is far from over. Now that the Butcher is in charge of...

    Ukraine’s army has been defeated; all that is left is mop-up

    Well as Putin has changed what he said is the reason for invading Ukraine several times and was forced to retreat from Kyiv because of the losses his armed forces incurred, I would say that Ukraine is far from defeated. Russia does have far more material and men to throw into the meat grinder...

    When to give up on someone?

    The time to give up on someone is when the Spirit prompts to do so! there is no formula. sometimes a person has a very hardened shell and through persistence we can break through. Other times we are given one conversation aqnd the Spirit will tell us to shale the dust off our feet.

    Zechariah 14 . . . Fulfilled? or Future?

    So true, God made eternal promises to Israel and said He will do things- so He will do things. The OT shows God foreknew Israel would reject Jesus, That the Father would temporarily set the nation aside as a nation, for the calling out of the gentiles. But in teh last days He would regather...

    The saint must walk alone

    Well that is the personal growth of a believer which all saints walk alone. but in that walk we share a life with teh body of Christ as well. It is not either/or but both/and!
