I see this passage was presented: 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. I am not sure...

I completely disagree that Chris did not come with the gospel of grace for all humanity. And then He said to them, “You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! “Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?” Then...

At our church our Pastor mostly teaches verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book. But on special occasions, he preaches topical sermons, such as near Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving. But the two types are put together in a similar fashion. When you study a verse, you look at the...

The godless left believe political power flows from the barrel of a gun... Do you want to be "represented" by people who believe in "persuasion" or in "compulsion?" Those that believe in persuasion believe in freedom, those that believe in compulsion believe in enslavement. Greedy folks...

Here is a standard Calvinist claim, every tenet of Calvinism is backed up with scripture. They say none of the lost ever seek after God, but back it up by saying those seeking God were not really seeking God, or in other words, they back up their false doctrines from rewritten verses...

Good fruit does not come from bad trees. But even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then. We agree, the Democrat Party of today is controlled by evil doers, such as turning a blind eye to fraud in Minnesota, falsely claiming the Steel document was reliable, inciting violence from our...

Thanks for the observation that the 67th book might refer to general revelation. It appears that the Framework Hypothesis is an attempt to say the 7 days of the creation week are arbitrary divisions in the sequence for the purpose of aligning the account with our "current" understanding from...

Only a mentally challenged individual would claim Luke 13:24 does not teach the lost seek God, and therefore Romans 3:11 does NOT teach the lost never seeks God at any time.

Once again diversion because of the inability to address the topic. Only a mentally challenged person, with the total inability to tell the truth, would fail to address the difference between ransom and redemption.

No one seeks God at any time is the Calvinist take on Romans 3:11, rather than no one seeks all the time or when they are sinning. The Lost should strive to accomplish entry through Christ for many will seek in the future and not be able. The idea is the Lost have the opportunity now, but...

But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, “If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews? [NASB] Here God's truth teaches us not to be...

There are at least two views as to when God chooses individuals for salvation. The first view is that God choose everyone to be saved before creation based on an interpretation of Ephesians 1:4, which says God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. The second view, is that God is...

Once again this person pretends to not believe many will seek the narrow door. Why is this level of hypocrisy allowed from those professing they believe all of scripture, scripture alone, and not just cherry picked and misrepresented verses?

Are you mentally challenged, 1 Peter 1:18 addresses "redemption" not "ransom." Unless you address that paying the price for the ransom only results in the release from bondage at the discretion the the one enforcing the bondage you are simply spiting in the wind. God chooses who He will give to...

Let me chime in, commenting on just one facet of the linked article. The premise seems to be if we use our current understanding of reality to interpret scripture, then we are not relying on "scripture alone." This is a false premise. Our understanding of reality is not an additional book of...
