What evidence did you ever have that God did anything in your life?

Are you saying you committed adultery? You very well could have made a false profession of faith. Why would you think that two Calvinist theologians, who do not know you at all, would offer ideas on your situation? telling you to seek local church advise was the best thing they could tell you...

I block several on there I was surprised to find these posts

Propitiation Vines nt.dictionary [ A-1,Verb,G2433, hilaskomai ] was used amongst the Greeks with the significance to make the gods propitious, to appease, propitiate," inasmuch as their good will was not conceived as their natural attitude, but something to be earned first. This use of the word...

Yeah, Christians used to believe that, but we've grown up, we've had the Enlightenment, so we don't believe things like that anymore. But Steve Chalke in a pseudo-evangelical pastor in the UK identified penal substitutionary atonement as cosmic child abuse. Cosmic child abuse. So what they'll...

Penal substitution and atonement is a reformed doctrine. The Arminians, the original Arminians, did not believe in PSA. There's plenty of Arminians who believe it today, they just don't realize that that's a reformed doctrine, Arminius was much more reformed, but couldn't stay that way His...

Thanks for offering what you can, and stating your view.

You making such a statement does not make it so,lol This is borderline incoherent as you flee from the text. You seemingly cannot grasp what the Holy Spirit has Paul quote for us. You might need to humble yourself mightily and seek His help. Looks as if you have once again failed to...

I was surprised to find this on the forum X enjoy Josh Barzon 1. What PSA Means Penal Substitution means that Christ bears the penalty we deserve (penal) in our place (substitution), effecting atonement with God. It doesn’t cancel other atonement motifs (victory, example, ransom); it...

My friend you have not addressed the Hosea quotes by Paul in Romans. You have not done so because you cannot , as you have turned away from plain truth once again. Do people read what you post as a form of comedy, or like a morbid person slows down passing by a traffic collision looking to see...

As I have demonstrated, you willing refuse to welcome truth, and invent your own reality apart from scripture...so be it.

Hello Van, Thank you for your response. Van, I can agree in part that 1 Pet.2:9-10 refers to God's activity in effectually drawing gentiles to Faith and Salvation. They had been non covenant people , considered unclean by the Jews. When the Spirit of God has the apostles explain from scripture...

Actually it shows how a person can look and not see! They look, ignore the clear teaching of the Holy Spirit, then repost it to say something God does not say. We should never do this.

Leon Morris in explaining the phrase "not beloved, beloved" (or "I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one.") writes that "Hosea has this before the “not my people” clause and his verb here seems to mean “my pitied one”; Paul has reversed the order of the clauses and has “love”...

Anyone who looks into these verses comes up with the same understanding rather than rogue unstudied opinions; Marvin Vincent commenting on "that my people which was not My people" notes that "The Greek is much more condensed. “I will call the not-My-people My-people.” See Hos 1:6-9. The...
