Featured If the dispute is about Free-'will' or Free-Grace...turn to your Bible

Are you saying that is we did not have a sin nature, we would all have free will, with no accountability for our actions?

 

See the problem is presuppositions . Its all through the bible that God is pleased when people believe , trust , obey , follow. And He is not pleased when people do not believe, trust , obey , follow . Then along comes Augustine, trying to win a debate against pelagius and decided that faith is a work to push back against his arguments along these lines . Now if faith is a work and we cannot be saved by works . I know said Augustine, " Faith is gifted " so now we have the most ridiculous idea christianity has ever fallen for ,' Regeneration, precedes faith ' . No one in their right mind, who ever read a Bible should have been duped by this . So how has everyone been sold this idea? The T in the system is swallowed first . Now your trapped into the Web.

 

I appreciate your zeal for correcting doctrines and theology. However, the fact that Jesus will not return to earth, there will be no second coming until the Jews ask him to return should focus your attention elsewhere.

Many, most strict and hyper Calvinists are replacement theologians. John McArther is an example of the accept ion to the rule.

The nation of Israel should be the focal point of the mature believers today. Because most of what Jews hear about the gospel today is warped and wrong (prosperity/emotion driven etc) it is our goal that we present the Jewish Messiah to our Jewish relationships in the event that during the Time of Jacob’s Trouble aka the Tribulation they may be among those whom the 144k Jewish evangelicals bring into the faith.

Romans 15:27 is a command.

The Church is Israel. The unbelieving Jews are gentiles with Jewish customs. How so? Circumcision, not blood always made one Jew. Christ abolished circumcision on the cross.

“And the uncircumcised man-child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people: he hath broken my covenant.’” Genesis 17:14 (NCPB)

Keep in mind. Over 300 of Abraham's slaves were his covenant seed through circumcision when Ishmael was his only blood relative in that community.

 

In scripture "works" is always and only about the OT law. It cannot be applied to any and all actions we want to add. That is not its context nor its intent.

 

We would be in the same state as Adam was when created, with the potential to still sin!

 

The idea that Faith is a gift is the silly idea .

 

One verse with no context?

 

All your doing is showing me proof texts out of context .
Could you show me a text with some context. like " well this verse here means this ,because the author is writing to such and such who was a such and such and this is about what happened at such a time , and it was after such event which therfore has to mean this " ...just something like this ?

 

This is called inductive reasoning . Most of calvinism is based on syologism and inductive reasoning as opposed to the inductive method. Calvinism has some of the worst approaches to hermeneutics possible

What is silly is God demanding things from people that they cannot do because has determined for them not to and then holds them responsible because they ' wanted ' , even though they could want no other way ,because God determined their ' wanter ' . ? makes perfect sense .
