(Morning_Joy;44055) Elf--Did you consider the question I previously posted?Does limited atonement teach that everyone else out of the elect are doomed the moment they are born? YES, that's exactly what it means. There are the reprobate predestined for hell and the righteous predestined for...

(Alanforchrist;43953) [1] You quoted, "No man can come to Jesus unless the Father draws him" Jn 6:44.But in Jn 12: 32, Jesus said, "If I am lifted up I will draw ALL MEN UNTO ME".God draws all people, and them that are open to His calling will come.[2]If you think Predestined in Romans 8: 29...

(Cybella;42583) I would like very much to believe that God exists, but I cannot seem to prove it to myself. Is there any proof for his existence, besides the Bible or "just faith"? I was brought up to be a Christian, but now that I am older I am more convinced by science than a preacher's words...

(kriss;44387) Well half true Predestination is a doctrine it started with John Calvin but in recent times has turned radical to be called Calvinisim and it says everyone is Predestined to heaven or hell no matter what one does and it has its basis in Works rather than Grace Hi kriss,You need to...

Hi Donnie,Yes, kriss makes a good distinction in her reply to you between church denomination and being a Christian.I would like to add my view that being a Christian is far more than having a religion. It is having a personal relatiomship with Jesus Christ who was sent to this earth to...

Hi krissThe topic of free will is a mighty big one for sure.In Elf's post above he listed many Scriptures that show we were dead in our trespasses and sins when God found us just like the shepherd who goes out in the wilderness to search for his one little lost sheep. He brings it back home with...

Hi kriss,It would be better if you believed in the eternal hell that Jesus teaches. You do find a way to teach a different gospel.Matthew 25:41-46, "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels . . . verse 46, "And...

Hi Ciara,The first thing I would want to know if I were in your situation is what does your grandfather believe about Jesus Christ and His Death on the cross to pay the sin-debt of all who believe in Him? And does your grandfather believe that when Jesus rose from the grave He guaranteed eternal...

Hi Job One,The Scripture that comes to mind on this topic is John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' "Only through belief in Jesus can one be saved, as Jesus clearly says in the above Scripture.And the reference...

Hi JonJT,You can ask for general forgiveness of sin because we know that Jesus died for all our sins.Having said that, our aim is to respond to the Holy Spirit whose work it is to convict our hearts about our sins, especially a sin that we might not see. So when you become aware suddenly of a...

Hi whirlwind,You said in one of your Replies that no spiritual bodies have mass.But Jesus did, after His resurrection. He invited Thomas to touch his hands and place his hand in Jesus' side.Then he asked for something to eat.John 20:27, "Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and see my...

Hi Pariah,I picked out one statement in your long Post that I find to be a problem worth focusing on.First of all, many of the references you included are correct in themselves. But you know, if one point of your theology is unbiblical that throws everything off balance for me.People who have...

This reference is from Ephesians 3-14. It is a most beautiful Word of God and His grace to those who are His.Ephesians 4-14, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him...

Hi its_victoria08,These words I have pasted here are part of your Post that I would like to respond to:"I try my hardest to grit my teeth, pray to God, and seek knowledge in understanding why they are this way, but those things don't seem to help in the heat of the moment when I am literally...

Hi setfree,America's greatest sin is forgetting God in our daily living. All through the Old Testament that sin surfaces as the cause for God to abandon His own people. Joshua 1:16-17, "And they answered Joshua, 'All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go...

Hi Nyoka,It sounds to me from your Reply that you and your husband and family are on a very good path. The way to stay on that path is to be reading and studying the Bible every single day, even when family life gets hectic. Your children learn from what they see their parents modeling to them...

Hi its_victoria08,Yes, it's a matter of direction, isn't it? We can't go both directions at the same time without losing the most important direction: advancement in the fullness of the knowedge of Jesus Christ, our true life.Glad to hear from you,waynemlj

The humanist view of the modern world is definitely anti-Christian, anti-God. The humanists live for the gathering of as many goods and possessions and power and wealth as they can possible fill their closets and lives with.However, Jesus taught in Matthew 6:31-33, "Therefore do not be anxious...

Hi Jon-Marc,I admire your courage to be so open and frank about what you have suffered when you were younger by being bullied like that.The thought that occurs to me right now as I read your Post is that Jesus suffered terribly all His life. He suffered the huniliation of having no place to...

Hi kriss,I like the thorough analysis you did on that Scripture! Yes, you're right. The Word of God is very "powerful stuff' as you say.Well, here's one passage about the subject of Christ's dying on the cross that will shed a bit more light on our discussion.Mark 10:45, "For even the Son of Man...
