Featured God Given Faith

Why do you post comments like this that just prove the person does not possess basic comprehension?

 

Faith is trusting in the revelation of Who He is and what He has done for us and will do for those that freely trust in Him.

 

1 John 5:10, He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

 

The fact that you overlook context is your downfall.

Yes in the day of His power when He returns in power and glory all the world will freely trust in Him. But that is not now is it. That is why we have the gospel message and the various means that God uses to draw people to Himself. Those that freely trust in Him will be saved those that reject Him will be lost.

That you continue to deny the truth of scripture is obvious. Why God would decree that you follow a false path is a mystery but perhaps it is so that you will be humble when He does allow you to know the truth.

That's the problem with your deterministic view, you can't even say it is something that you believe as every though you have has been determined for you so you have no way of knowing if what you believe is actually the truth or not.

 

Then you are denying the basis of your theology, determinism.

 

Not all will be saved as those that are saved have to actually trust in God.

But have you not read Revelation 5:13 or Revelation 7:12?

 

You really do need to start reading verses in context.

The day of His power is when He returns in power and glory at the close of history when God makes Christ's enemies His footstool. If you had bothered to actually read the Psalm you would know this.

Those that have freely trusted in Him.

 

But if they were elect before the foundation of the world as your theology would have it there would be no gospel message and in fact there would be no people to hear the mesage.

Since one is only elect when they are in Christ God uses the gospel and other means to call man to Him and those that respond in faith then become the elect.

 

But your theology says the elect were chosen before the foundation of the world. Was the gospel preached then and if so to whom?

 

Yes God is sovereign, so why do you want to limit His sovereignty? If man has no actual free will since your version of God has to determine all that happens then how can man be responsible. Can man over rule the decrees of God?

So if God is the power and the cause of man believing and God desires all to be saved then why are not all men saved?

How can your "elect person" believe and be responsible if they need God's power to cause them to believe?

Your theology is very confusing. Your version of God decrees all things but not really all things. He causes man to believe and even though He wants all to be saved He can't save everyone and yet you say He is sovereign. Do you have a different meaning for sovereign?

You really need to explain your theology better as it really is quite illogical.
