Oh my.

LOL I prefer coffee too. You were apparently referring to regeneration preceding salvation. Total Depravity is also in there somewhere. Calvin thought a person could be regenerated as a baby but not become saved till years later. Do you agree with this?

It's not easy to reconcile God's sovereignty and man's free will. But the fact is that God did give us free will.... He gave it to Adam and it was never taken away because it is not a preternatural gift,,,but a natural gift. Jesus was made to be like us in every way, and HE had free will also...

Even blind men can make their own cup of tea. There goes your total depravity. Analogies don't often work very well.

Great verse. How many are needed before one believes the truth? Good points.

Romans 1:19-20 The bible answers so many of our questions.

Didn't we already have this discussion? Anyway... It's easy L,,,,, God revealed Himself to the Hebrews about 4,000 years ago. Was man not on earth before that? Did those men know of the existence of God as explained in Romans 1:19? Did the bible always exist? Or did it get put together in the...

Well, that settles it then!

Your reply is different from what you've been saying. Your reply means that God predestined your accident.... and then saved you from it. This makes no sense. Please consider your answer again....

OK, so you're questioning. This is fine. We are finite and God is infinite and we will not understand everything. Because we cannot understand everything is no reason to apply to God everything that happens and attribute to Him even sin and sickness and accidents, etc. I believe God FOREKNOWS...

You truly do not seem to understand scripture. Read Romans 8:29 till you understand what @Enoch111 is saying because he's 100% right. And all of Christianity, except Calvinists, agree with HIM.

Wow. Someone on this thread could exegete a verse. First of all let me say that the reason I asked is because I know for sure that someone that believes God CHOSE THEM (a calvinist) will never be sure he is really saved because it's up to God and not them. God could decide at any moment that...

Hi Helen, Has SG answered you? Just got here. Why do these things matter so much? Here's why: Soteriology is the study of how we're saved. HOW we're saved is important so we could evangelize those who are not saved. Mainline Christians (us) believe exactly what you stated as your experience...

Did you just state that 2 Timothy 3:9 is speaking about believers? Because of CONTEXT? Let's read it together: 2 Timothy 3:1-10 1But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to...

Then why does He allow one to get away from the other 99? Do you realize how much danger a sheep is in when he leaves the flock? Are you saying God made the one sheep become lost just so the shepherd could risk his own life to go after the lost sheep? A strange god this is....

If you clearly state that you would NOT have chosen God.... what makes you think you're saved? Why do you think God chose you and not the other way around? Could you exegete John 3:16? Thanks.

Does God's foreknowledge CAUSE future things to happen? Is God's foreknowledge a causation?

See post 111 and answer to it instead of making remarks that mean nothing to no one.

No Bill, that's not what I'm saying. We've been through this before (maybe not with you?) What Romans 1:19-20 teaches is that God's wrath has been on men BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE. Why do they have no excuse? Because God has revealed Himself from the beginning of time... BEFORE there was...

What did you just say? Could you narrow down to 25 words or less? Thanks.
