I think the issue is that most people really arent aware of just how corrupt the Washington swamp actually is.

Thank you for this thread. Its encouraging to hear that the Lord is working in your life.

I got rebaptized but only cuz I was first baptized as an infant in Catholicism (which doesn't count imo)

Acts of the Apostles 7:51 "You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! If Irresistible Grace is true, then why are people being exhorted to stop resisting the Holy Spirit? Wouldn't God deliver them...

@Anthony D'Arienzo How does your position deal with scriptures like: Ezekiel 18:23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? Ezekiel 18:32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone...

This thread took off. I'll be back later... I find that Synergism is more compatible with the biblical concept of free will then Monergism ever could be.

I suppose this thread is aimed more at Calvinists and their doctrine of total depravity, which inferrs that the inception of faith in Christ is solely the work of the Holy Spirit convincing one of the truth about Christ. John 7:37-39 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood...

The passage specifically states that they were bought. Which can only mean that they did, at one point, belong to Christ and that he purchased them, no?

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (KJB) Now, I believe this passage is telling us...

Then explain Romans 11:22

Proverbs 30:7-9 7“Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?' Or I may become...

Fair enough. There are many verses in scripture that tell of God giving an abundance to his faithful ones. Not that I disagree with these responses, but how do you reconcile them with Matthew 25:41-46? Agreed.

I'm not entirely sure why, but after browsing this thread it seems like people are averse to what the bible instructs us about giving. Not sure why, because giving is a good thing and God is pleased when His people give in His name because it is to His glory. So bilogewu is exhorting us, with...

How so?

It still tells us that we are to do that which was prepared for us to walk in. So doing nothing isn't an option.

Right, but what does Ephesians 2:10 immediately say: For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. James 1:22-25 James 2:18

1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

I mean, I have to agree. Amassing wealth for oneself is a snare. Give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Where your heart is, that's where your treasure will be. The rich in this life are humbled while the poor believers are given greater honor by the Lord. James 5:2 warns "Your...
