Then why would Christ say I and my father are one?
Joh_10:30 I and my Father are one.

An invitation is an offer made by freewill.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

God's plan is observed in scripture and your Reformed brother's are pointing it out to you. Thus, your comments come off as rejecting observable, factual data found in the Bible. Your defacto process is to reject these observable points in scripture by labeling them "Calvinism" yet they aren't writings of John Calvin, they are doctrines clearly presented in the Bible, by God's ordained writers. You might as well call it Paulism or Peterism, or Johnism or Lukeism. It's observable in the Bible.

 

He doth stumble over the word "pleased."

 

Romans 10:13 is a statement of fact, not an invitation.
Matthew 11:28 is a statement of fact to Jesus hearers who were burdened down by the load of added laws given them by the Pharisees. Jesus says to them "Take my yoke upon you for it is light," meaning that his teaching lifts the burden of the law off their shoulders. Therefore, Jesus tells them to come to him. Again, this is a statement of fact.

You ignore the fact that in both verses it is the work of God that is effective, not "free will" of the hearers. Please make an attempt to view salvation from God's view rather than constantly remain man-centered.

 

LOL You have quite an imagination. It sure is a fact, if you come to Him He will save you.

Prove what you said here or others will see you are a false teacher. You can't back it up can you?

You seem like a JW.. With no truth at all.

So what passage do you use to teach: "If you come, Jesus will save you."? It certainly isn't Matthew 11:28.

 

Your ignorance of theology makes you unable to discern if you imagine I am a follower of Charles Taze Russell.

 

He doth stumble over the word "pleased."

Show me the exact creed where it is written so I can look at why the word "pleased" was used.

What word would you suggest be substituted?

 

Many people hate what they do not understand.
Clearly, you do not understand what the teaching is.
You should actually study more than post.

 

One reason you believe in salvation based on works is you do not welcome confessional truth that is firmly rooted in scripture. Your deliberate twisting of the wording shows you have an agenda.

 

They are scriptural when you do not change the wording.

 

is that the wording used?No it is not. why do you feel the need to be dishonest?
which God was pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel to permit, having purposed to order it to his own glory.

 

Now show from the Bible that this nonsense is anywhere found in the Word of God!

 

Isaiah 53:10
Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
