Chapter 26: Of the Unity of God BOOK IV. OF THE ACTS OF THE GRACE OF GOD TOWARDS AND UPON HIS ELECT IN TIME. DOCTRINAL DIVINITY ~ BOOK II OF THE ACTS AND WORKS OF GOD Chapter 6: Of the Everlasting Council Chapter 7: Of the Everlasting Covenant of Grace Chapter 8: Of the Part the...

Just to say this about that: I believe the Scripture to that effect would be John the Baptist Saved in his mother's womb, as well as Jeremiah. We know John the Baptist heard and was Given an Intellectual and Spiritual Understanding, because he leaped, as only a Saved soul could and would do...

"And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed." Galatians 3:8 I quote this stuff because, as I come across them, I believe they contain solid, sober stuff that we might...

The problem is that regardless of what he or any of his followers say about how they wholeheartedly believe in Total Depravity, they 100% go about NEGATING Total Depravity with the devisive invention and nefarious fabrication that something Jesus Accomplished in His Perfectly Satisfying the...

Total Depravity, then, may easily be determined to be the root cause behind the denial of Total Depravity, as exhibited in the Arminian techniques mentioned and which follow, below. This is just a completely self-contradictory attempt at deception, by manipulating the truth of the subject...

The Truth as to the Redeeming of Ransoming Features of the Atonement. See much more at this link. Note the following passages: "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Matt. 20:28). "But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who was...

What makes you say this? What is 'the Grace of God' that you say exists in us 'from the day of our birth'? That is a new one on me, I think. We Receive the Love of God Shed Abroad in our hearts and the Faith, by which we are Enabled by His Holy Spirit to be Blessed with so that in Faith and...

"II. ELECTION DEFINED." "God, of His Own Purpose, has from Eternity Determined to save a definite number of mankind, as individuals, not for, or because of, any merit or work of theirs, nor of any value to Him of them; but of His Own Good Pleasure" (J. P. Boyce, Abstract of Systematic...

Nobody said anything about babies crying, but I am here to tell you that when a baby stamps right back out of a fit of screaming bloody murder, like they are about to die, and just coo at you and smile real big when you come running and they see they got you attention, THEY WERE LYING. They and...

"Predestination is a Beautiful Doctrine." "Predestination is a Beautiful Doctrine. Its beauty lies in the fact that a Holy God has Revealed it to us in His Word. And, as Calvin and Boettner, among others, point out, it has significant practical applications. Predestination is not merely a topic...

And, they don't want anything to do with each other, or each other's genealogy (no cats ever in the dog family). This 'Exception' to the overall number of Varieties within the Species, 'Proves the Rule'. And, this resulting sterility is very common among 'mutations', or even things like a...

When David said, "in sin did my mother conceive me", I believe we need to allow that he was revealing that his existence from the time of conception was in the Nature of all of our's Greatest, Great, Granddad's Nature, after Adam had committed his Fall into sin and that, like all of us who have...
