You must be speaking about Romans 8:29-30 29For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these...

Yes Jane. I've been here on these forums for over 4 years now. If you notice, I don't really like to argue except for ideas that have to do with soteriology. I'll leave the why up to you to figure out.

Did I ever answer to this!!!! Oh my. You mean John got it RIGHT.... and all those other dumb theologians that came before him for 1,500 years got it wrong!!! You think you could mail me a copy of the institutes ASAP!! Oh. Forget it. I have it already. It has a place all by itself in my...

Do you know the names?

Good. Because at least he won't be following a gospel that doesn't exist. And anyone with some common sense would know they have God's rules to follow. Only those that DO NOT want to believe this, look for those verses that SEEM to state that we should count ONLY on our faith in JESUS. NO...

I hate to bring this up... but when did Jesus say that we were going to gain our righteousness through HIM? All He did for over 3 years was to teach how WE are to behave and how WE are to do certain works/good deeds. All He ever said was to believe in Him...and maybe only once or twice. BELIEVE...

Right. Depends on the language, the culture, what was believed hundreds of years ago when the names were given.

I picked a post at random. No. 62 Here's what @H. Richard posted: The children of God are not under the Law. They are obedient to keeping their faith in Jesus' work on the cross. Religious people will always say that we are to be obedient to keeping the law because they have no faith in Jesus'...

No. @Episkopos is biblical @Phoneman777 is biblical ---in their theology. I cannot recognize @H. Richard 's statement as being biblical.

Absolutely. God demands obedience.

Agreed on paragraph two. As to paragraph one... In Mathew 7:23 Jesus was making the point that just because we call His name... Lord, Lord, does not mean we're going to heaven... but only those who practice being lawful NOT those who practice lawlessness. Jesus is very clear and it should be...

I don't know to what he's referring. I don't even know what liquid water is. I thought all water was liquid. Will wait for reply. Sometimes threads take weird turns as persons speak...

I keep hearing that the ones to whom Jesus said " I never knew you " are the unsaved because He never knew them. No where in those verses is there any mention of being saved... but it DOES speak to lawfullness. I don't think I go off on tangents... As to baptism,,,I know you're not reading...

OK. Yes, it's Mathew 13:20-21 OR Luke 8:13 If we take Matthews account, it's really the same. Jesus said the man HEARS the word and RECEIVES IT WITH JOY. But the receiving, or the joy, is only temporary (exactly like Luke) because the person is afflicted, because he does not have a firm...

The other member and I were discussing Luke 8:13 The parable of the sower Agreed! I must say I've come to understand a LITTLE BIT about reconciling God's sovereignty and our free will. We have free will in our actions,,,, but in the end God will have His way and HIS plan will be completed...

You know, we have to keep in mind history. Greece ruled at that time. They believed in many gods..... It's pretty amazing to me how Christianity took hold... it's miraculous.

OK. This is what was believed after the reformation...not before. But it's all good.

Did you ever hear of Paschal's Wager? If you're wrong... many will end up lost because you taught easy believism...that it's not necessary to do ANYTHING except believe. This is not taught in scripture. It IS taught that we are to obey God and follow HIS commandments and rules. If I'm...

Guess it depends on who you ask! In Italian the days are named after planets: Lunedi Moon day Martedi Mars Mercoledi Mercury Giovedi Jupiter Venerdi Venus Sabato Sabbath Domenica God (Dominus) (day of the LORD)

@Phoneman777 is 100% right HR. It's unfortunate you can't see it... know why? Not only are you putting your own soul in danger.. but you are endangering the soul of OTHERS...and for this you WILL reply to God. James 3:1 God demands obedience. The moral Law will NEVER be abolished....the 10...
