"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

I have listened to a radio show for well over 30 years called "To Every Man An Answer" founded by those in Calvary Chapel. The recent movie, Jesus Revolution, is about how they started by Chuck Smith. They are against Calvinism, except for the T in Tulip. They are basically who I am going by who...

I have no children, but from what I have seen, children love their parents if they are normal and not bullies who abuse, but even with normal parents the teenage years can seem like night and day from when they were children.

Again, you've been taught that grace is unmerited favor. WRONG. It is the power of God given to us through the Spirit to those who belong to Christ, Romans 8:9. Grace is our gospel. Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for...

cc: @brightfame52 BF52: See what I mean? DNJ: You've been taught to completely misinterpret Paul's message in Romans 7. Verses 14-25 is all about those who still sin and therefore are UNDER the Old Covenant law, like practicing Jews. They are NOT born again, so need the law to show them their...

Thank you. I'm going to keep this screen up through tomorrow.

I wish everyone believed that about the T in Tulip. I've heard others that believe in just the T in Tulip, that the T is our sin nature that we still have after being born again. They believe we also have a new nature that fights against the sin nature.

I only care about the "T". Once born again of the Spirit, does the T still apply to you, or does being born again erase the T from your life?

Yes, but don't you also believe that even AFTER being born again of the Spirit we REMAIN totally depraved? I would love it if I am wrong about you, but those in Calvary Chapel churches believe that we still have a sin nature and are totally depraved after Jesus takes away ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS...

But Christians are not totally depraved, so TULIP starts out in error.

Not intended to offend. What is your definition of Grace? Mine is grace is the"power of God," just as the gospel is.

I can agree to that.

Oh oh! You seem to believe grace is a license to sin with no penalty. "Unmerited favor" right?

The T of Total Depravity AFTER Jesus takes away our sin and fills us with His presence is heresy. You deny the gospel of the power of God, Romans 1:16-17. Where do you think Jesus takes away our sin? From its source - The sin nature/our old man, Romans 6:5-7. We are clean. John 15:3. Don't...

Then you must be a Calvinist. The "T" in TULIP is heresy. It teaches that even after Jesus has cleansed us of all sin we are still totally depraved. Is that true? Is His blood powerless?

Yes, He does.

How are you an authority? How do you know what you believe is what God meant? Does God speak to you?

According to .....?

I agree the plan was predestined. But why have you not shown your text to look up. It looks like you wrote this yourself. Ephesians 1 (Young's Literal Translation) 3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in...

Romans 10:17 My point is not everyone besides the 12 disciples, which includes Paul will be raised up at the last day. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord...
