Indeed it is! And, it is GOOD NEWS TO ALL!

I suppose I was picking up where Helen was talking about her own brother. Can we show God's Love by being gracious, kind, and have respect for ones beliefs without agreeing with them with something? If they are in error as we see it...it can be debated till the cows come home. Correction on a...

Agreed.....but, I do not agree that we should "hate" ourselves at times. There are those of us who do struggle with something called "self loathing" and, IMHO- that is from Satan. Hating sin? YES!!!!!!!! Always!

Very well put @"ByGrace" My mom had 7 of us. I can say that I love them all, but like? No. I would die for them, or even kill to protect them but. There are 2 out of 7 that I just plain do not like. It has been at the foot of Gods throne since I put it there and, one of the 2 is now coming...

"Perhaps we could learn a lot and understand nothing at all" 2 Tim. 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

People put so very much weight behind what mere man say's so, instead of quoting directly from scripture, by way of the Holy Spirits teaching, they think they are wise in their own eyes. Every Christian needs to be a Barean! And pray fervently for clarity. Yes, we listen to sermons and read...

I would say, absolutely!

I agree Willie T. Biblical love is not a feeling, it is a sacrificial thing...putting others above ourselves. It's impossible to "love" someone in that human definition if you do not know them, or even like them! We can still show Gods love by esteeming them higher than ourselves.

I was talking about the fact that no MAN in that time would listen to a woman about the things about God!

As far as I can go with this elect few who God chooses, is that of course God can do anything He wants and, yes, He knew us from before the foundation of the earth. I do believe God does know who will and who will not follow His only begotten Son. So, I do believe in the case of Jacob and...

I think it had allot to do with the culture in Jesus time. Women were considered lesser than men and, I think that is why they were not chosen in the 12 because, most Jews back then would not give them a second look. But then, how do we reconcile the scripts. about the "order of the...

"for me this is actually the biggest philosophical difference within" Yes, and IMHO-because of the implication you and I find And, you have every right in the world to choose to believe that :)

Just reading C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters will give a great picture of how Satan and the demons work.

I am familiar with Christ's 1000 year reign on this earth, from Jerusalem. I was just wondering if you had any scripture where it states: children and all mankind will be on this earth after being ressurected. The question would be, when would the 1000 year reign take place, and who would be...

Just thought I'd throw it out there-I have no idea why people in the N.C. are not tested in the way they were in the Old.

Seems that you and I will be in agreement on this! :)

I was simply stating a past fact about a man, not shift anything and not at all making it all about Calvin. I understand that Augustine had an influence on Calvin and other Reformers...it is the doctrine and not the men behind it that I have issue with.

AMEN, agreed-the piece was written well and not nasty. And, I am pleased as punch that so far as I have read, haven't gotten to all the reply's yet, there seems to be no nastiness (maybe a few small pellets, but no cannon balls, lol). "and each view has has great implications on the...

"Also, the power of the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit are denied in bringing men to salvation. Instead Five Point Calvinism teaches that sinners are regenerated BEFORE they have believed the Gospel. That is patently false." I had not thought of this before! Yes, it makes Christ's...

Yeah, and he used green wood to burn to prolong the pain...
