Ephesians 1:3-5 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having...

The unknown is what's happening on the market, as always. Buckle up, everything's going to be ok.

Trump and Musk have said that if we don't stop the rest of the world from robbing us, and take a rein to spending, our government will be bankrupt. The candy is being taken from the babies and they are crying bloody murder. No other president would tackle this problem. Thank God He gave us...

The Law of Moses has 3 parts. The Moral Law (the Ten Commandments) The Judicial Law The Sacrificial/Ceremonial Law God gave the Law to Moses to give to the Hebrews, who would later become the nation of Israel. God gave His Law only to Israel to identify sin, and prepare Israel for their coming...

In order to answer your questions the 2 most powerful Laws in the universe must be understood. These 2 Laws are the basis for all the Laws found in Scripture, including the entire Law of Moses. It will also help to know that Paul discusses several Laws in Romans. They are as follows, The Law...

You're hiding behind a veil, BF. Are we justified by grace through faith on our part, or by the decree of God with no say in the matter?

They could have come to Christ, but they chose not to!

Jesus said to the religious leaders of Israel in John 5:40, "And you will not come to me, that you might have life." Is coming to Christ of your own free will something "DONE by us?"

I agree that man is expected to seek out God, once he knows who He is! But until then it's total depravity, God must make the first move.

I'm sorry that you're not getting it, Silverhair. I'm afraid you are mistaken. Hebrews tells us that the Israelites that wondered in the wilderness and perished there could not enter into God's rest. They died lost. Hebrews 4:2 tells us that those OT saints received the Gospel just as well as...

One other point: "No man comes to me except my Father draws him." This is exactly what God was doing with these Greek heathens. He was using Paul to draw them to Christ through the Gospel message that they may know who God is and be saved. As I have said before, God must make the first move to...

No, man has not sought after God as long as man has existed! Christ said, "no man can come to me except the Father draws him." That is total depravity. Unrighteous man has no idea that he needs God. It's when the Gospel is heard that man realizes his need for God. Most of the verses you...

Hebrews 11:13-16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. "For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country...

Yes, that speaks volumes in explanation to what we're seeing on these forums.

Van and I have decided to agree to disagree. I'll let it go at that. But I'm open for any other conversation on this thread.
