Technically I'm not reformed. I'm Particular Baptist by baptism and church membership. (I admit that I'm more reformed than not though) You all new kind of Baptists might have decided the roots of the faith of your confession is a horrible faith but it's not. It's from God, truly. You should...

As judgemental as I sometimes think I sound, I'm really not a judgemental person. Being predestinarian it's harder to judge the person. We all have a path to walk, I woke up sat in hell surrounded by demons, who am I to judge? it's just about encouraging positive direction in Christ. If I sound...

Good morning! I decided I wanted to ask where specifically you think our point of difference is, since I'm missing your implicationn. Perhaps there's a way to try and clarify. As a secondary note, since I'm more awake... Lol. I thought I would add some explanation. My trust in God's people for...

It's not one person perse, the world will be full of them. I just manage to get frustrated when people lie and and change their point of view on something as often as the wind changes direction. There's just a level where I'm not sure if everyone is doing the same thing and I just can't notice...

1. Is the creation still subject to vanity “in hope”? (Romans 8:19–20) Yes, according to the word of God, creation remains subject to ματαιότητι (mataiotēti – "futility" or "vanity"), not by its own will, but by God's decree—in hope. The Greek term ἐπ' ἐλπίδι (ep’ elpidi) in v.20 conveys...

Absolutely. Why? Is the question because my optimistic expression of life got called baloney?

This place is just too much. I'll be where I'm from... Sorry. Not one person here stares the same beliefs and I can't make heads or tails.

What do you think my presuppositions came from? . Islam is literally the opposite, in every respect. It's works based righteousness as opposed to salvation by Grace through faith, it had a god that needs men to do what the god cannot, it's a religion based on hate and not love in total. When I...

Yes, and your not doing that in my opinion. I didn't come with any presuppositions to Scripture when I opened the Book. I came from the exact opposite space to the faith and learned this faith from Scripture. I have only recently really began to trust things like the confessions enough to...

If you're a full preterist it could impact your views, I don't know. I'm Amil, an historicist/idealist position largely. (I manage to combine it little of both). I am a newer Christian and find a more difficult time with nuance in people's language. I am not catching some nuances people use...

Where in Scripture does it state that Jesus didn't take the punishment for our sins on the cross? Since Scriptures don't prove PSA according to your "giants" (and your back to screaming, it really does make people question your mental state, perhaps you should consider a different way to...

Well honestly, since I thought saying "I agree" covered my views on the quoted verse I'm really not sure what you are seeking as an answer so I'll write an exposition. You cited 1 Corinthians 15:50, where Paul declares, "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the...

How on earth do you presuppose such a cavalier attitude on the Biblical teachings on the Atonement - a key scriptural doctrine for the faithful - to interpret his teachings as stating "I'm probably wrong and Calvin too" from Spurgeons direct teachings? I would love to see the exact source to...

You might really enjoy this sermon: https://www.spurgeon.org/resource-library/sermons/predestination-and-calling/#flipbook/. Spurgeon is one of my most favorite pastors.

Whether the messiness of life is real or perceived, God is still in control of the mess yes? https://ccel.org/ccel/spurgeon/sermons45.xv.html
