Featured The Calvinist Gospel

Very clearly. I posted that verse proving that it "showed" no such thing ... and you ignored my post and changed the subject. Just like you ignored my response to your "exegesis" and changed the subject.

 

Even if you are going to ignore my support, you should at least defend your own position:

Where is the scripture support for "we choose to put our trust in that truth* or not"?
*"that truth" = "Jesus is God" (the truth revealed to Peter and that Lydia's heart was opened to)

Do you have scripture that clearly refutes the claim "True faith is a wholehearted trust that the Holy Spirit creates in me" on the basis that the Holy Spirit does not create trust in people?
It seems only fair to offer you an opportunity to present a scriptural rebuttal.

 

Three observations ...

1. It sure is a good thing Verse 10 stands completely alone and neither God nor Paul gave it to us as part of anything larger that might actually be attempting to make a point. Otherwise this "cookie cutter" Theology score keeping would be much harder and we would have to move past "scripture pong".
2. You do not need a cheat sheet to dismiss my theology. Try just saying "I don't buy it." Then I will respond like this: [shrug] "Ok." and you have defeated all of my clever attempts at proselytization. I am not God or your mother, so I am only responsible to tell the truth. I am not responsible for anyone believing it or not believing it.
3. "and" does not mean "then" (I can look it up in Greek if you want, but I am pretty sure the result will be the same).

(... and he still should have defended his own beliefs.)

 

I will provide the details if you wish, but this is starting at Part 2 of the Catechism, so "we" who deserve punishment are the sinners from Part 1.

Do you still want "Chapter and Verse"?

 

Since this was Part 2 of the catechism (the section dealing with "Deliverance") I decided to go back to the start and look closer at Part 1. I offer for your consideration, the opening:

Question 1. What is your only comfort in life and in death?

Answer. That I am not my own,[1] but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—[2] to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.[3]


He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,[4] and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.[5] He also watches over me in such a way[6] that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven;[7] in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.[8]


Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life[9] and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.[10]

[1] 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
[2] Romans 14:7-9
[3] 1 Corinthians 3:23 ; Titus 2:14
[4] 1 Peter 1:18-19 ; 1 John 1:7-9 ; 1 John 2:2
[5] John 8:34-36 ; Hebrews 2:14-15 ; 1 John 3:1-11
[6] John 6:39-40 ; John 10:27-30 ; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; 1 Peter 1:5
[7] Matthew 10:29-31 ; Luke 21:16-18
[8] Romans 8:28
[9] Romans 8:15-16 ; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 ; 2 Corinthians 5:5; Ephesians 1:13-14
[10] Romans 8:1-17

 

Point out the word “lost” in your translation of that verse, or admit it is not there.

 

I addressed the first (Matthew 23:13) in another topic and again in this one. I am waiting for a response to me addressing of the first verse before wasting time with the second. If you would really like a conversation, then please start a topic and we can discuss one verse at a time and move on to as many as you would like to discuss. However, I get the feeling that you like to post those verses but have no real desire to discuss them (or even post what they actually say).
