    The Latest on Calvin

    I don't believe so. After all, wouldn't predestination denote a favoritism of sorts?

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    He surely is. Whether or not His Sovereign Will is always actively being enacted at every single fraction of every single second over every single thought that pops into our heads is what the question of the thread actually is ...because your camp is still incapable of demonstrating how the...

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    Believe it or not, this was a verse that actually came to mind when I made this thread. There is a difference between God changing direction (representing a king's willfulness) on a flowing channel of water at precise times to fulfill His ultimate purposes using a bare minimum amount of effort...

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    Overall, Calvinism is incompatible with free will. God's Sovereign Will is everpresent and always ready to be enacted at His good pleasure... ...but He does not exercise it for absolutely every minute decision that is made by mortal man, as Calvinism purports. If a man were to kill another...

    The Latest on Calvin

    Scripture states that God is not a respecter of persons. This means no favoritism. All who repent and believe in Jesus can be saved. Acts of the Apostles 10:34-35

    The Latest on Calvin

    I heard John Calvin took someone's life. Is that true or just a rumor?

    Is 1 Thes 4:17 the same event as Rev 1:7 and Matt 24:27?

    Since you believe in 3 parts to the first ressurection and also the rapture, could you go back and identify which of the verses in my OP corresponds with rapture and the other parts of the first resurrection unto life? Thanks

    Is 1 Thes 4:17 the same event as Rev 1:7 and Matt 24:27?

    I've heard someone say that 1 Thess 4:7 was talking about the first resurrection, not the rapture

    Is 1 Thes 4:17 the same event as Rev 1:7 and Matt 24:27?

    Is 1 Thessalonians 4:17 the same event as Revelation 1:7 and Matthew 24:27? And would this indicate that there will be no rapture, only a second coming and judgement? Discuss.

    The left behind

    I'm sure some will embrace the anarchy, but most of them will be horrified and victimized.

    The left behind

    Consider the biggest issue of all, all the good Christian's keeping evil governments and bureaucracies in check. Tyranny will sweep the world over.

    Ecstasy

    I think it can be closely related to Revelling, which is sinful. God wants us to be temperate. But being filled with Joy is also a gift of the spirit.

    God's timely judgment on America for turning it's back on God?

    This is completely true.

    Because the swamp is bigger than anyone realized. There is also the peer pressure among political colleagues that keeps even the well meaning official in-line with the elitist status quo.

    Right but they are not playing by the rules, they are bending them and ignoring them all over the place to attack Trump and his agenda. They aren't legally allowed to have his tax returns because issuing that subpoena has no legislative purpose, but they're probably going to get it anyway...

    Southern border crisis

    Okay here's the problem I see. If Trump's intentions are as machiavellian as you're making them out to be, then why would he even call for a National Emergency over the Hauwei 5G issue? On one hand, he's trying to protect the free world from a Chinese spying network, but then on the other...

    I assumed he did it to overburden the social supports of sanctuary cities. But the ramifications of having them settled there and ready to vote are much worse for a continued Republican presidency.

    Scripture does say deception will get worse and worse in these days. Trump gets propped up to protect America, which may become the vehicle of the AC in the future. Why isn't it already widely considered as the new Roman empire? It fits perfectly. USA promises peace and safety (to neighboring...

    That he's the antichrist I guess. He's been in office roughly 28 months. If anything crazy happens in his 42nd month then I guess we'll know for sure
