    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    Adam and Eve disobeyed God's instructions of their own free will.

    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    I don't allow fallacies of logic to go unchallenged, particularly when they manifest as unqualified assertions which have no basis in fact, such as yours quoted above, which Scripture refutes, proving your logic to be flawed. Jas 1:13-15 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by...

    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    The point is that God has made us capable of exercising freewill. The fact that God has predetermined our features and the features of our habitat does not exclude the dimension of freewill that He has predetermined us to have so that our love for Him will be sincere in response to His love for...

    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    Obviously, as the word itself states, omniscience is knowledge of ALL THINGS, be they people, events, things above, below, infront, behind, left, right, and centre, be they material or abstract, God knows ALL THINGS, or else he isn't God. Col 1:17 And he is before ALL THINGS, and by him ALL...

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    I'm glad there is AN EMPTY CROSS to remind me of how Christ died and rose to SAVE THE LOST.

    When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

    The metaphorical Whore of Babylon in Revelation 17 is not specifically "the church".

    When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

    There are so many variations and associations in circulation regarding numerological symbolism that consensus is an idealistic expectation. Service and Government do have much in common, with duration being managed in divisions of 12 hours and 12 months, and it is not surprising that the Tree...

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    Well you will need to explain why your OP reads otherwise, and I hope you remember how to use a dictionary in future, so easy online. ox•y•mo•ron (ˌɒk sɪˈmɔr ɒn, -ˈmoʊr-) n., pl. -mo•ra (-ˈmɔr ə, -ˈmoʊr ə) a figure of speech that uses seeming contradictions, as “cruel kindness” or “to make...

    When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

    No doubt some sources are of the same opinion as you, but more correctly the number 12 in Biblical Numerology symbolises governmental division, particularly among God's People, and also in timekeeping. Joh 11:9-10 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the...

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    Your OP doesn't bear that out, since a Roman Catholic with an empty cross is an oxymoron.

    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    Just a note, so far I have escaped blatant ad hom fallacy attacks from you but I notice you use them on others. My response to such is to make use of the ignore function. To the above quote, the insistence that freewill does not exist serves to prove that it does, since it is an opinion freely...

    When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

    The metaphor of the woman in Rev 12 derives from Joseph's dream in Gen 37 and carries the same imagery that identifies his parents and brothers so that Israel as a nation of 12 tribes is in view in both instances. Gen 37:9-10 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and...

    Just a note, so far I have escaped blatant ad hom fallacy attacks from you but I notice you use them on others. My response to such is to make use of the ignore function. To the above quote, being conformed to the image of Christ is included in the criteria for salvation.

    Just a note, so far I have escaped blatant ad hom fallacy attacks from you but I notice you use them on others. My response to such is to make use of the ignore function. To the above quote, by definition omniscience incorporates foreknowledge.

    When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

    It is theologically incorrect to interpret the woman who gives birth to the malechild who becomes a ruler as "the church" for the obvious reasons that theologically "the church" is still virginal, and Christ isn't born of "the church". 2Co 11:2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For...

    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    Foreknowledge then Predestination to conformity to the image of Christ is the Scriptural order to be remembered. God's Foreknowledge of whosover will believe and receive Christ by faith is as intimate as it gets. They are foreknown to God as the future inhabitants of heaven. Not so those who...

    When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

    D.O.T.S. = Doctrines Of The Scriptures The woman in Revelation 12 is OT Israel whose manchild is Christ. Those D.O.T.S. join up beautifully.

    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    A Four Dimensional Framework to describe the interactions between God and man. I believe God has created us with a dimension of freewill which He wants us to exercise in harmony with His Will as expressed in His Word and evidenced in His Work. 1. Foreknowledge - God always knows everything, if...

    The Plight of The New Christian

    Yes, and abiding in Christ is the only Way to partake of His solution(s). Joh 15:4-5 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. (5) I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and...
