MARK 3:31-35 is also the verse I use that demonstrates that Jesus' mother was no better than His sheep. He put her on equal ground, "these are my mother's and brothers" - showing no favoritism nor misplaced glory or adoration to be given to Mary. If we were supposed to, Jesus would have...

Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth after His resurrection, 1980 years ago. That sounds like a king to me. This is a spiritual kingdom. But scripture points to a literal, physical kingdom on earth, the Millennial Kingdom. He will physically return as the angels said He ascended...

"A Heavenly Scenario" What if you die, and the angels gather you to heaven, welcome you, and you begin see others you have known who have passed away; you feel peace and joy like never before and all is well? Jesus comes and greets you and you _ like never before _ are compelled to bow your...

Your are correct in some points. It is true, only His sheep hear His voice and will be saved. Judgement Day cannot be denied, not all will be saved. The theology of limited atonement is wrong. God is infinite in His power. Just to label His power, ability, will and sacrifice to be limited is to...

I give God all the credit for my salvation. Jesus did the work. He predestined us to be saved. He draws us to Himself through a series of events and people that come into our lives on the outside and inwardly as well, that voice in our minds that guides us. He cleanses us spiritually. We become...

"That which cooperates in your heart is of God"? I am not talking about after you have been saved, I am talking about before you are saved, years, decades, while one is blind. How do we cooperate with His Spirit if we are "totally depraved", unable to listen, see, learn anything spiritual? I...

As this reads, those who say they have no sin, the truth is not in them, meaning they are not Christian. " If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." I like to turn it around and say the opposite: If we say we have sin, the truth is in us. But they may not...

You did not respond to anything I wrote! I did not imply that man chooses God. Maybe try picking out something that I did say and respond to it.

Lol, not even Tiny Tim took Calvin seriuosly.

You said you found (looked into, came across or researched) that mot all Calvinists agree with Total Depravity. It seems like you already have taken your poll. How many have you found and how many of them did not believe? Unless you don't remember or maybe it's an odd suspicion that something is...

That was back then. Because of God's principles, His love and grace permeating throughout the world for thousands of years, man has been affected and the world has been changed to some degree. Goodness has rubbed off onto us in many ways. Certainly without God, life is vanity of vanities and...

Thanks. Just listened to RC Sproul teaching on it. Understand what Calvin was saying, still think the phrase totally depraved went too far.

I am not a Calvinist. I don't think I fully understand what Calvin meant by total depravity. To me, the phrase suggests that we are not only incapable of saving ourselves, coming to God on our own and we are born spiritually dead (which would be true). But it also implies we are empty vessels...

To Pre-Tribbers and Post-Tribbers, There are flaws in both views. We need to realize that Revelation is not crystal clear. It is like a multi-dimensional, transparent sphere of events that overlap and accumulate. GOD shows us different vantage points. It appears that It is not in chronological...

Sin has been present since the Garden. Satan and his horde as well. The Millennial Kingdom is not like any period we've ever experienced. Jesus literally will return as they watched Him ascend - in like manner. He will judge the world. It is cut and dry. Those who believe in Him will be saved...

Angels were with Lot, God in heaven.

In marriage, "The two shall become like one flesh" is physically and spiritually real partially because Eve was made from part of Adam. This maybe gives men and women a sense that they should be joined at the side, part of each other, creating an attraction to each other like something was...

True. I didn't imply anything to the contrary. No one comes to the Father unless He draws them. He prepares their hearts (soil) and the seed (gospel) is planted when It is fertile. Only God can lift the spiritual veil of blindness. So those who hear that are blind have seed thatbis planted in...

Since it was a place without sin yet, God appeared in physical human form as angels do and walked on two feet. A theophany/Christophany It just means empty, no life, just earth and water. History does repeat itself, it's cyclical. A new heaven and new earth will come, but not quite the start...

There is your contradiction. We are saved by grace. And then you imply we are not. No, the Gospel is offered to all and some reject. Only His sheep hear His call. His sheep are given the gift of faith. God prepares us, conditions us (if you will) to receive, enables us to hear by lifting the...
