You know what? I'm one of those that used to tell you that you were reformed. I remember now. One of their beliefs is that God CHOOSES who will be saved and who will not. Mainline Christianity does not believe this...that does not mean that God did not choose special persons for special...

AMEN!!

Are we talking calvinist theology? God knows who will be saved...but He doesn't CAUSE them to become saved. If someone dies an unbeliever, he will not be saved. Every instance in the N.T. that speaks about believing and having faith, always states it in the present tense. If you believe in the...

It's OK. My point was that we're born again one time and have the experience once. If we fall away, we could come back to God..we do hear about these stories also.

Yeah. I was kinda wishing I had never read it. It'll take some time to get the pix out of my head.

I have to leave for a while... but I don't see it there. As to the Father giving to Jesus..... Didn't the N.T. also teach that Jesus brings us to God Father? So which is it do you think?

I was just leaving and thought of your last sentence. It made me giggle. Here's what you wrote: what we have in the King James Bible is the Word of God (excepting the italicised words). Could you explain to us why some words are italicized if GOD wrote the O.T. and the N.T.?

WHERE are the original manuscripts?? YOU know where they are? You're the only one.

F, I don't have the inclination to get involved with this discussion on calvinism... but explain to me how MAN IS RESPONSIBLE if he's a believer of that theology? Calvinism TOTALLY removes responsibility from man. How could I be responsible for how GOD created me? You know the verses about the...

The question WOULD pertain to this topic. When is a Christian a Christian? OK. Here's is the question your post brought up....: You spoke of a person that WILL BECOME a Christian but is not presently. You spoke of a man that is 36 and he will become Christian at the age of 37...so he's...

How could Jesus be the Holy Spirit if He is JESUS? Let me post that image for you again. You should study it carefully. As you can see, THE SON IS NOT the Holy Spirit THE SON IS NOT the Father He IS the 2nd person of the Trinity,,,,THE SON. Each person has their very own personality. And...

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHEN did I ever blame God for anything? I truly am at a loss to know of what you're speaking. If you care to post DIRECT QUOTES of mine with post numbers... otherwise I'd ask everyone reading to please ignore everything you've stated since it is NOT a proper...

Augustine was a manichaen for about 10 years before he became Christian. He surely brought some of those beliefs with him. Also, he changed his mind on important topics during his lifetime, so I have little regard for him. He DID, by the end of his life, believe in FREE WILL. At least he did...

I SAID God INSPIRED the O.T. But to write EXACTLY what they wrote? No. I don't believe that. Do you know what inspired means? Many authors are inspired to write a book about something. That SOMETHING does not write the book,,,the author does. Here is what inspire means: 1. To animate the mind...

Hey LC... I didn't mean all of the above...although it's all correct. You had stated that you had a "second" experience when you became saved. I was asking about THAT. I was wondering what it could have been. If you don't want to continue with this...,that's fine.

Hey JBF,,, I too wish we could have a revival. Know why we won't? Because the parents of today's kids are not oriented toward Christianity. I think this is either the first or the second generation of this phenomenon... IOW,,,two generations of non-believers living together in the same...

It sure feels like it would be time.

Of course! We were discussing eternal security. If someone is not sure what Jesus taught about it, or Paul, the best thing to do is to find out what the Early church taugth about it.

Well, then, it's a good thing you don't know what he taught! He taught a God that you would not recognize.

Children are being confused. Just look at the programs on TV. Adults RUIN children...and it can't be stopped. When I was a young person I was involved in TRYING to stop certain things...it doesn't matter what. I realized way back then that it would make no difference. And it didn't. This takes...
