    Jesus Chooses Us

    Yes they did! The only thing they did not know is that He would be called by the name Jesus. Luke 2:21 (KJV) And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. The Old...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Do you understand what I mean when I say the Sovereignty of God? I am speaking of the doctrines espoused through the acronym T.U.L.I.P. 1. Total depravity 2. Unconditional election 3. Limited atonement 4. Irresistible grace 5. Perseverance of the saints

    Jesus Chooses Us

    I've learned over the years that the doctrines called T.U.L.I.P have been credited to John Calvin. I know what each letter of the acronym means, but I did not learn this studying the works of John Calvin. I learned the truths of the acronym through my study of Scripture. It has not been my...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    What you show is how biased and displayed an antagonistic attitude from the very first page. Here is the discussion from pg 1 to refresh your memory. TribulationSigns said: What the Scripture nowhere support is that the Devil is a supernatural being that was once a good angel in Heaven, but...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    My apologies GracePeace, I tried to keep the discussion about the doctrines of God's Sovereign Grace which is what I believe Monergism embraces. Sadly, keeping the discussion on the Word or God rather than on the doctrines of John Calvin becomes a challenge when some deny the Sovereignty of...

    Rapture ... soon?

    It is the spirit indwelt with the Holy Spirit from Christ that possesses eternal life, and able to freely choose not to sin. Our natural spirit giving physical life to our flesh is also in us, this is the part of man that is of the first Adam of flesh & blood desiring to serve sin that...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    This was to show Saul was among the prophets to serve a particular purpose. The Spirit of the Lord came and left King Saul first before he was anointed King, and also during his reign as King. This does not show the heart of King Saul was always for good, for he shows himself to have an evil...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    God is Trinity! He is known as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. While creation most assuredly proclaims the glory of the invisible God, who is Spirit, it does not give evidence of God the Man, called Jesus Christ a son of man, as well as Son of God. The jailer was told to "Believe on the Lord...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Did you want to discuss the doctrines of John Calvin, or the doctrines of the Bible? I prefer the Bible, don't you? Good deeds are not worth much if you're doing them to receive reward. Whether or not our good deeds are blessed by God or not is based on that which proceeds from the heart...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    No, He didn't! We condemned ourselves when we listened to the serpent and doubted God. God creates the devil destroys! Yes, God says all souls are mine! But He also says the soul that sinneth shall die! In this we don't accept God's grace without also accepting His justice. The passage is...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Just because man has been regenerated through the Holy Spirit in them, does not do away with the natural spirit in man giving them physical life. This is why the saints of God are warned to walk by the Spirit and not to fulfill the desires of the flesh. The spiritual battle children of God wage...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    What did God mean when He told the serpent there would be enmity between "thy seed" and "her seed", if there is no seed of the serpent? Genesis 3:15 (KJV) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    This is true! Every man knows, through all of creation of the Creator God NATURALLY! But mankind in unbelief has no knowledge or understanding of the Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord. The knowledge of Christ unto salvation does not come NATURALLY but is SUPERNATURALLY given to whosoever hears...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    How will man who is spiritually DEAD in trespasses and sins freely choose to believe? Romans 3:10-18 (KJV) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Fred, there is something you seem not to understand. God, through Jesus Christ 'OFFERS' the message about Christ (gospel) to all people without exception. Then through the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed, God, through His Holy Spirit, 'GIVES' eternal life to whosoever believes...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Exactly, and if we read the context of next two verses, we learn you have spoken truth. John 3:17-18 (KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is...

    Rapture ... soon?

    That's a good point Bladerunner, if you mean we who have the Holy Spirit in us. That truly is the spiritual battle every Christians fights while in these bodies of sin and death. Our spirit (mind, heart, will, emotions) is changed through the power of Christ's Spirit in us, but we are still of...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Allow me to turn the question back to you. If you are saved because you chose of your own free will to be saved, how do you know you are truly saved? After all, does not the Bible tell us "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" I find no comfort in believing that my eternal...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Scripture refutes your error at every turn. It demolishes the Christadelphian of TS. Your words, not mine!

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Why would you label faithful saints Christadelphians, as you and others here have? They believe in salvation according to man's good works that must be accompanied by immersion in water. They reject assurance of salvation and teach only those who remain in Christ through good works will be...
