Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?" Romans 9:21 The answer to that question encompasses all knowledge, and cannot be fully ascertained by humans. Predestination is beyond our menarl capacity to fully grasp. I...

Predestination is plain in all the texts, He chose us and ordained us. And we reap the benefits we ask and we receive. Faith is a gift! Why are you avoiding the word that is used, PREDESTINED. Don't substitute the word to make yoir argument. You must deny the word to do so ... and you are. Many...

Christ blood covenant was a fulfillment of the Law. Craig isn't teaching legalism. He is just teaching how this blood covenant was foundational throughout scripture. Did you listen to the 48 min. audio? I am only interested in sharing something that I believe really seals the doctrine of OSAS...

I quoted the Pastor when I used the phrase, "scarlet thread". He used it figurarively to point to the blood covenants in the OT that lead to Christ's sacrifice. It flows through like a thread that is part of a fabric. Blood is red. This teaching has nothing to do with the Zarah and Pharez...

God is not everything! Jesus is #1, but not everything. If He was, then there wouldn't be two commandments: Love God AND Love your neighbor. My wife and daughter grandaughter and the rest of my family are not God. God isn't nature, He created it but is not part of it. It's beautiful too and I...

I shared many scriptures and pages of detailed interpretations on the topic and after all that, you tried to sum up what you label "a fatalist" perceives how God saves us and you are wrong. I don't ever refer to myself as a fatalist because not everything is set in stone as I pointed out very...

That is your perception of the matter, not mine.

I am not implying that we are robots. That is the argument you guys always use as if we are all totally programmed. That would imply no real intellegence or will or emotions, just a machine computing what it was programmed to compute. But take this into consideration, animals are programmed by...

Being a slave to God or a slave to Satan and sin doesn't sound like you are free. How can God's sovereignty allow and be in sync with 8 billion people who act freely and work it all into a perfect plan? It is God who causes all things to work together for good ... The Bible says He predestined...

You are talking to Christians on this forum. That is a violation of forum rules ... but then again, who can mess with Elijah? Save the lava lake and fire raining down for unbelievers.

We have volition/ will, but we aren't free to do what we want. Our actions have consequences. Romans 13:1 says God appoints all rulers/authorities. So how does that work with free will? Before Judas was born, God knew exactly what he was going to do -- betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. God...

The significant events and detailsbwothin are predestined. If man really had free will, then he could freely do anything he wanted. But his actions have consequences. "The wages of sin is death", so we are either slaves to God or slaves to Satan. Does that sound free? If it was truly free, then...

Nice to you meet you too. You are new I see. Welcome to the "Everything is Debatable with Christians Going Off in All Directions FORUM". Is that a photo of you holding the sloth? Interesting creatures, evem the Bible comments about them - cute though.

We must give the Holy Spirit all the credit, but I must say you have learned wisdom and are quite receptive to His teachings!

That's a brilliant thought ... Did God give that to you or did you figure that out yourself?

Nah, there are many others: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 "Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for...

https://drcraigjohnson.org/audio-sermons/sunday-service/the-blood-covenant-the-key-to-understanding-the-bible/ For those who doubt that Jesus Blood Covenant is secure, that your salvation is secure and safe, then you should listen to this audio. >>> Let me just add that if you are not...

I forgive him. We all learn from dumb things we do and say. He was a young 30 year old Pastor at the time, now he has wisdom.

They rest from work and worship other things or themselves. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. God had to be strict when He laid down the Law. Do what I say or die. "Worship me or die!" In a sense this is the ultimately decision a person must make in life, to...

The wages of sin is death and that will apply to all unbelievers. If you don't believe in Christ, ask for His forgiveness and are washed with His blood, you will die in your sins.
