    It is great to see you and the wisdom you bring. I'm currently studying Romans with my wife and family and from the beginning Paul describes the fallen sinners with debased minds. It is interesting that although men are spiritually dead, they physically communicate with those who are spiritually...

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    She does like the new church a lot. In fact, she gets upset if we don't go. Whereas some days I could be happier staying at home listening to a sermon from Don Fortner! I don't think I will ever get any tattoos, no matter the people around me, just because the deep desire is not there... But I...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Our love and choices are authentic precisely because God controls it all. If you tell me you disagree, then you expose yourself with a problem. If you think choice and love cannot be authentic for God controlling it all, then you must think God is not the Standard of authenticity. You are...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You had to see my phrase in isolation in order to address it. How am I supposed to take this seriously?

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You already taught that everything we do is God's choice. You were like a hyper calvinist just the other day.

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    I haven't considered it lately, but I have just begun going to a church nearby my new place, and I have been meeting a lot of people there. I'll keep my eye out for any tattoos and let you know what I find.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You just took the position of God choosing everything we do and then you attacked your own position by comparing us to robots. You refute yourself. This is why I do not engage with many people anymore.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    It is God who works in people to hear and accept Christ. God does not 'just ask people to let Him in'. He draws them to Christ, and Christ saves them. All work of God, not God begging men to please let Him in. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    God does not wait on you to allow jack squat. Quit trying to put Him in a position where His hands are tied. You are nothing but the effect of His will. Daniel 4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The older I get, the more I realize how much I have to be thankful for, and the more I realize how much I need Christ to save me because I am incapable. Which is a topic some people disagree on here... I'm happy to hear you all are doing great. Thanks for reaching out.

    Yes, she is great, thanks. How is yours?

    What would you like to see added to CyB.com?

    Hey, Dan! Nice question. I like your engagement here. Reinforcing your structure is what is needed. Why would you add something like another forum category when the ones you have aren't being used properly? I see random threads consistently made in the Christian Debate section that have...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    God supplies your existence, so you are nothing apart from what He causes of you. Everything happens by God's force. Nothing exists by itself. God's power is what makes everything exist and occur. If God stopped existing (impossible), then you also would stop existing. Nothing about you nor...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Let me lay this out straight... And you can let me know if I misunderstand. You believe... ------------ God wants man to be saved. But sometimes man decides to take control of the situation by not allowing God to save him. ------------ You think you have God under your thumb. That kind of...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing. That crumbles your theology to a pile of dust. God does what He pleases. God declares the end from the beginning. God determines what happens in reality. Not man. Quit making man the creator of the universe actions. Daniel 4:35 Isaiah...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    God is not the tempter. He creates evil and works all things according to His purpose. Satan is the tempter who serves God's ultimate purpose. God determined the crucifixion - the greatest act of evil in all of mankind. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    James 1:13 does not mean what you think it means. God plainly says He creates evil. Isaiah 45:7. God works everything according to His purpose. That is what the Scriptures say. Proverbs 16:4 God creates all things for His purpose, even the wicked. You are twisting and struggling to explain...
