Featured Why Do Men Hate God's Sovereignty in Election

We are always discussing sin ..sin perminats everything we do. It is our Antichrist, our enemy and friend, our politics, our reality. We don’t live without it. And how you deal with it dictates who you are... in this life and the next. Since you believe in the devil, then you have to apply character to that creation. So what do you think, is that creature beautiful, is he total evil, does he work in partnership with God, with man or is he your total enemy? Is he totally morbid or does he laugh?

 

And if you want more truth, here it is....That if I believe in a Deity then I would thank him and bless Him for the liberty of choice, For without that liberty of choice,we would be dancing around as puppets on strings.

What Is Sin? The Essence and Root of All Sinning

 

Forgive Yourself, 77 TIMES 7. And keep moving forward! :::Insert Rocky Motivational:::


This statement itself is a sin based on lack of faith, and should be your primary target in your practice>>>"that sin is the one constant in the world." Our giving evil too much credit is part of our problem.

Who do we have for a teacher, God? are we to suppose he just mediocre at what he does? Does a great teacher just churn out students with "F's" who learn nothing?

Matthew 11

28“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Jesus says learn from him, that it is EASY. The #1 problem we have is we call him a LIAR. We already have OUR expectation.

Trust and Faith is same thing. When Jesus says "oh hey this is easy, I can teach you to do this, look I am a gentle person."

Jesus is joking right? Jesus is a Liar right? Jesus doesn't know that SIN is the one constant in the world!

I got to learn to trust Jesus.

No one says they expect NOT SINNING to be MOST FUN They ever had. We got sins we need to beat down in the roots. False expectations, false beliefs, false assumptions.


Not sinning is the most fun you will ever have.

 

Wimpy by who's standard? God can hand over all his power to you, and still win.



The #1 sin, the one thing GOD would never want to happen, is for us to torture and kill his only son.

But he let us walk all over him.

Jesus could have a legion of angels stop the whole thing. Forgiving sins God could wink his eye and all sins of the world are gone he doesn't need to kill his son, he can do anything he wants. God is making a clear statement to humanity by his act.

 

Yea but I have tons of fun by sinning

 

That is right he laughs! To contemplate the world and see how redicuous It is is hilarious and the development knows it.

 

Every sin we commit has a fear connected to it, a mistrust of God. Someone who has a complete trust in God is always calm, relaxed, and fearless.

 

Yes because there is a blessed assurance (as the song goes) Jesus is mine.

 

Arminius, being human, had his questions & concerns about his operating salvation theology. I don't criticize the guy unless pushed to by people who are solid Arminians.....then I will give it to them. But you have to realize that conversation about this stuff, even disagreements serves to vent, to clarify & to solidify held positions.

 

Surely Arminius did not think that his "Understanding of God" is impotent. See, now you are veering into picking a fight, not discussion. Like could you not have phrased it differently?

 

Are you serious? GOD CAN DO ANYTHING!

He caused the Jews to have a sovereign nation again, despite the opposition of most of the world. Same for their making Jerusalem their capital again. Many still oppose that, but it happened,& will continue to be in force.

 

"And we are much more sinful than we know and have a very small idea of how much grace we need and the damnation we deserve."

Damnation is actively sinning against God. I don't see how anyone deserves to sin again God.

Convince me you DESERVE to spit in God's face everyday, hell does worst.


If someone can't move towards God that is not a natural state, that is unatural, abomination even.

If all of man is corrupted to where it has no capacity to do anything for God, then that man is destroyed completely and is as equal to murder or any other sin. There is nothing there to save. God is not going to save murder.

Something good has to be there to be saved. If there was nothing good then the whole thing is part of the damning force.

I think there are folks in this thread who are throwing away the baby with the bathwater. Alot of it is a flawed view humility that's been twisted.

It all sounds great on paper, but heavily flawed.

 

When they get the whole picture they become Christians instead.

 

What does God require in order to be a Christian?
