@PinSeeker @Lifelong_sinner Ok, guys, find your source material. I say that some Calvinists believe that all of reality is predestined. That down do every snowflake that falls is predestined. That every every thing we do, thought we have, every word we utter is predestined and we have no...

No...if you go back to post 629 you will see that I said it was a good example of predestination. I don't see an example in the Bible where God singled out an individual and damned Him or predestined a man to hell. But I think He could. That is because you see the plan as a puppet show...

No he did not create the earth. But he did write about things that others did not agree with, and they supported what Apostles said too. What the Apostles wrote were scriptures....John Calvin did not write scriptures. John Calvin cherry picked His beliefs out of the scriptures and thereby...

This goes back to the scripture regarding God making people for a purpose and it is a good example of predestination or God causing people to do things. But I am talking about humanity. The Pharaoh was pagan so He was going to hell anyway, so it does not matter.

Calvinism has come up with their own man-made terms that do not appear in the Bible. And those would be...? I think you know these....total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, or hype grace, and perseverance of the saints. It all revolves around the...

Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. 8 Cherish her, and she will exalt...

I have no problem with the term elect....but it applies to all Christians. This implies choice and free-will Again this implies choice and free-will. Exactly Calvinist. You believe you are a puppet of the great puppet master.

The doctrine of predestination makes all that irrelevant. All sins and actions of man are predestined by God. There in no inherit anything....only the will of God. By nature! Again back to choice. According to Calvinism we do not have a choice. Predestined to sin, because those that are chosen...

Of course this topic has been covered in several threads so it just a reiteration of the facts. ↑ Calvinist twists the meaning of atonement. They twist the saving grace of Christ. It would be very interesting to hear why you think this is so. ↑ I can go on an on about the twists...they should...

And see this what you all do. You twist the Bible and twist what people say. Is it a matter of Calvinist instruction? Who knows the mind of God? I did not say He did not know the future. I said it means very little in regard to this topic. Knowing what is going to happen in the future.....and...

It is a deep topic because we do not know the mind's eye of God, as in how the future is perceived by Him. If you take all the evidence in the Bible, some questions come to light. But just to keep it simple, lets say the future is crystal clear to Him. But in relation to this topic it means...

I understand the bible....Calvinist twists the meaning of atonement. They twist the saving grace of Christ. I can go on an on about the twists....they should call their religion the Twist. But the bottom line is they depict God as Satan. Beyond guaranteeing Satan a quote by damning people from...

This is a pretty good summation of Calvinist beliefs. The whole damnation of some individuals before the creation of anything. The hopeless decree of damnation of which there is no escape. The creation of beings that are more or less robots....no free will. Playing out an eternal play. A play...

Have the questions you asked been answered here? When seeking, honesty is the best policy. Unless you are thinking of being a theologian, Christianity and its application is the simplest of religions....as long as you do not let people twist your head up. One of the reasons it is simple is that...

Great post. The nature of sin is the same in the Old and New Testament. “If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” Genesis 4:7

That is why I used the word usually. Not a policy or a rule....just on the average. For example; your average psychiatric patient is an introvert. Again, not a policy or a rule....just on the average.

Praise the Lord above that your child is an extrovert. Extrovert or usually leaders....not followers. One of the dangers today is children that are followers because they can be lead down the wrong path. Extroverts usually have confidence.....that and hard work spells success. God bless Ducky

Do not promote false beliefs. Perversions of the Word of God. That maybe only part of the problem, the scriptures are nonsense to you so like I said, you chose non biblical traditions over the actual scriptures. Heylel is another topic. The topic at hand is the fact that some translations reword...

How do most people get their Christian beliefs? A lot of people profess that their beliefs are Bible only or fundamentalists, but very few acquire their beliefs from the Bible alone. Most people acquire their beliefs from traditions, stories, and songs and Theological clichés that are not in...

Blah blah blah no condemnation in Christ....so Christ embraces evil...so will these sins prevent you from going to heaven. 1st Corinthians 6:9-10 “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers...
