Thank you for your participation.

God never tells me anything. I'm always the last to know.

Amen and Amen, Sister!

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for your testimony!

Utter nonsense. Nice hit-and-run material. Thank you for participating. Welcome to the forum!

Adam and Eve had glorified bodies in Eden.

Had I the authority to do so, I would most emphatically award this the most humorous and dang near correct post of the year. My dad asked me one time: "Do you know the difference between a Baptist and a Lutheran?" (He was courting a Lutheran lady st the time) Of course, I played along and said...

Amen, Sister!

Providence is what led to my formation of an assurance model. I found, after many years of believing in God that all the progress I had made in consecration had been due to what He did rather than anything I did. I began to relate all of Scripture that illustrates God's efforts and achievements...

Wow, another post just beaming with the Glory of and to God! Sharing is the least I could do for Him Who spared not His own life for all who would come to Him by faith!

Well, I asked how you really feel and you delivered. Wonderful post and the part about prophets is very insightful.

What a wonderful first response! I held back a little in the OP. I suspect that you have, as I do, an "Author and Finisher of our faith" model of assurance. While being quite refreshing, what surprises me is the lack of a representation of rigid Calvinism I've experienced here so far. In other...

I've been cursed with an above-average IQ, but I don't possess the faculties to manage the "juggling" you're talking about. Well, it certainly is a legitimate aspect of hermeneutics. In light of this context, how do you really feel about the old maxim: "The Bible was written for the common man."

I was raised in the Southern Baptist Convention tradition. OSAS was emphasized greatly. My father recently told me that he likes to listen to feel-good sermons nowadays (à la Joel Osteen) because when he was young he heard so many sermons that seemed calculated to make him doubt his own...

:cool:

This is very insightful, but I fear even this is a mark that I too often miss. Just being honest.

Absolutely Agreed This is total nonsense. I have done no such thing. I have declared exactly the opposite: that He would never do such a thing. Furthermore, there was nothing miserable about Lucifer or Adam and Eve before they sinned (which originates in the heart, not the words or deeds). It...

Do you disagree? lol

I've already addressed the main concerns you've raised here in other posts. After over 500 of them, I'm tired of repeating myself to hit-and-runners. And I will not discuss the various permutations of Calvinism under any circumstances within this thread. No offense intended. I can, however...

Here comes the debate and lastworditis thing.
