Well then answer the biblical questions then. Romans 8 the natural man cannot please God- Trusting in god pleases Him so the natural man cannot trust God. The natural man cannot perceive the things of God in 1 Cor. 2. Trusting in Christ is a thing of God, so the natural man cannot perceive...

Yes and that is not water baptism but the baptiwm of the Spirit. Water baptism is for believers only. IOW someone who is already saved! Read your bible. YOu get saved and then you get baptized. Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of...

Sorrow here refers to pain and labor and toil, God told Eve whe would have great pain in birthing and have multiple children.

Jesus did not die for the whole world- Jesus died as the propitiation of the sins of the whole world! That makes Jesus death the only acceptable payment one can offer to get into heaven. What about the untold billions who never heard the gospel even once? They did not even have a chance to...

YOu appeart o know far more of the Calvinist religion than I do as I am not part of it! I just accept the five points Calvin argued at the council of Dort in rebuttal to Jacob Armenians five points.

I never said I was a calvinist or believed in reformed theology. That is your false assumption.

I am not John Calvin. While I agree with His basic five points (vs. th efive points of Armenianism) does not mean I accept all parts of Calvinist teaching. So if you wish to argue the finer points of Calvinism, take it up with John calvin. However if you wish to argue predestination, election...

Well I can't answer for how other "Calvinists" explain it, I just answer for me. But it seems yo uhave a bigger problem. If god did not want sin in His creation and sin came in anyway- then there is a will in the universe stronger than the will of God. I take sovereignty at its face value...

He gave Adam and Eve free will, they lost it. When someone becomes a child of God, free will is restored. Only believers have the power to choose to sin or not sin. As Scripture says anything outside of faith is sin and unbelievers are outside of faith. Paul says in our human nature dwells...

Well I have shown that the natural or unsaved man does not seek the kingdom of God, nor even wants to- so you have a real conundrum on your hands if you think man gets to choose on their own.

If men have no capacity to recieve the things of God as the bible clearly and unequivovally shows, then the only way they can come to Christ is against their own nature.

It is not two separate definitions, but two examples of the power of draw in differing situations! It is not a wooing or luring people to HImself, but a compulsion impel means to "drive" or force. and to drag or draw means to pull towards with strength. It is not a passive thing but a very...

Can you show me biblically these "windows" you speak of? What happens during these windows? does God suspend our natural man which would never choose Him according to His Word soe we might choose Him? So these people being drawn and do not accept Christ- they do not come to Jesus? Do they...

Well we are not screaming kids. But even if we were, God makes us born again and gives us a new nature that desires HIm! So we become willing kids!

Well Barney it is a Mexican stand off. There is no evidence that they had sex, nor is there evidence that they did n't have sex. IOW there is no evidence either way- just speculation. If it was important for us to know God would have written it down. To draw absolute conclusions is...

Thanks, I am glad that weight is off my shoulders.

April, the reason Jesus did not choose a wife, was that is not why He came. He came for the purpose to die for the sins of mankind and to justify us by His resurrection.

It is not my theology but Scripture. In the sense of causation, because God is absolutely sovereign and nothing can happen without His approval- then yes He caused evil because He allowed it for His purposes. According to your theology, if evil happened apart from God, then there is a will in...

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. I could not love and trust HIm apart from being HIs.

Well Pope Francis recently opened the door for HIndus, Muslims, Buddhists, Gays etc. Maybe us Christians who are not RC are th eonly ones they think won't make it anymore. Don't know.
