So, when I get cremated (hopefully after I die) what are the eternal consequences? If I remember correctly, Catholics dug up the body (John Knox?) of someone that disagreed with them and burned it to ashes, thinking it would prevent him from going to heaven. I get it. You believe cremation is...

Adam did not yet have a sin nature. He was capable of not sinning. Same with Eve. Being inevitable does not mean God caused it to happen. God certainly knew it would happen and allowed it to happen, but He did not cause the evil. Adam, Eve, Satan bare all that responsibility. Peace to you

The passage says, “those He foreknew…”. It does not say “those He foreknew would believe the gospel.” Why would God need to “predestined” someone when He already knew they would come to Christ without His intervention? That makes the word predestined meaningless. Peace to you

I don’t know anyone that holds to the doctrines of grace that believe Adam had no choice but to sin. What I have heard, and believe, is that before the fall, there was the ability not to sin. After the fall, there was no ability to avoid sinning. Once we are resurrected and in heaven, there...

And to know in a relationship, which is what the context supports Peace to you

The use of “foreknow” in this passage does not mean God knew something about these folks. Please look at the context. “Whom He did foreknow” means He knew them in a relationship. It does not say “whom He foresaw would believe”. The context does not support your interpretation. It means God...

I’ve never studied Calvin in depth. I consider my self reformed. Dealing with the problem of evil is something everyone that studies seriously must do. Peace to you

Well, do you believe the man was saved before hearing the gospel of Christ? Peace to you

The problem is how much the government spends, not how much it takes in with taxes. Without going line by line, as DT is doing, the budget crises will never be solved. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars studying shrimp running on an underwater treadmill. Funny to watch, I suppose...

No not familiar off hand Peace to you

Which part? Romans 1 clearly states all are condemned based on the rejection of God found in creation. Can we agree on that? Can we agree the gospel is necessary for salvation? Can we agree billions of people have lived and died never hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ? Peace to you

Are you serious? Every Dem, every lib has continuously claimed abortion is a constitutional right for 50 years up to and including this very day. The only thing bizarre is your attempt to deny it. Peace to you

Thanks for the info Peace to you
