I have no problem with any of this, with the exception, that in Greek , all has 2 constructions. One means every or all and the other construct means all of a particular group. (pas v. pantos) But many humans never hear Jesus lifted up. that is simple fact. Also there is the general call of...

Well I hope it all happens. if it doesn't however, do not blame God or anyones lack of faith! Remember that James said we do not get because we ask in th eflesh.

And a mans authority in spiritual matters goes only as far as they stay faithful to Scripture! If a pope declares every one must have wednesdays off tro worship god- I do not have to follow that. Or if a pope says it is okay for gays to have civil unions- I am bound to disagree with them.

And I agree 100% with you here! The natural man (one with just the human nature and no new nature within) cannot choose the things of God. th esaved person with the new nature has had free will restored and can choose Christ or not! Mary chose because she was a believer!.

That was not for salvation, but to sit and listen or work! I have already answered teh difference between will and choice.

The bible says you are wrong as the verses I posted for about the tenth time shows! Man in his natural state does not want God nor the things of God! That is Gods word no matter how cute your parable is. And I agree teh christian is drawn to Christ- by God the Fatheras Gods Word says. Not...

The first answer is no! we are not all Gods people! As God clearly teaches in ephesians 2 we are by nature children of disobdience! And you forget John 1: 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were...

I like your post. with one exception. Remember it is not what we know that matters, but have we accpeted the payment for our sin? No one is righteous, and Acts 4:12 and Romans 10 clearly say that we have to hear and believe th egospel to be saved. I heard that from a pastor as well and...

I believe that as well. I also believe as you that God will save all who will be saved. However even the saved desereve to be lost forever. We have been given a gift we didn't earn, can't earn, didn't deserve. It was given freely to us.

Actually it is per Romans 10: 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou...

that would be wrong! There is no sign for the rapture. It can happen any time. You however have a sign. All one has to do is read teh bible, see what plagues befall with what trumpet. They can know when the sixth trumpet sounds and the disaster that follows and then would know that the...

1. Predestined means you are picked. Period! YOu have to remember that when one is saved they are given a new nature! One that actually desires god and desires to serve Him! Teh book of Life is different from the Lambs book of Life! Yes we must work out with fear and rtrembling what god...

I doubt it because it is global. It has affected America more. I lean more towards this simply being a natural result in living in a fallen world. How the world govts. are responding to it though is a different matter.

NO! God gives us faith and we learn to love HIm. People do not come to christ filled with th eownder of His love=- that comes after! No there is no preaching of the gospel after people are resurrected. Either the first resurrection of the faithful or the second resurrection of the lost!

I agree that god had different dispensations and that teh object of faith in those past dispensations was different than today! The name Jesus was not revealed until HIs birth! But since the church age, there is only one means men must be saved- and that is to trust in the death and...

Well I loved all but your last paragraph. there is nothing in Scripture to imply that people gert a second chance after death. Contrary wise, the bible does sayithis: Hebrews 9:27 King James Version 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: also people who...

Nice sentimental story, but has nothing to do with salvation. God allows us choices in life like what to eat, wear. live, love drive etc.etc.etc. These are our choices within th ebounds God set for man. So we can learn to love ice cream or not! But let me re quote the Bible verses that...

If you only learned a teeny weeny bit of sentence ocnstruction you would know the indefinte "whosoever" does not mean "free will" at all, but is simply a simply statement of fact. It means that whoever believes is saved! Instead of listing all (for the Lord knows all who are HIs) people who...

Acts-Revelation! Especially in Timothy and Galatians. Remember the bible was being preached before it was written. To contradict the teachings of the Apostles is to contradict jesus! He said the Holy Spirit would bring all things back to their remembrance. Oral traditions MUST be compared...

We rely on what He gave to teh apostles , you know what we call the bible. anything that contradicts the New Testament is a false teaching no matter the level of piety of the one promulgating it!
