I think we have a problem on what God has determined to take place and what He has not determined. God has determined that "all of Israel will be saved." That is in the future and the whole world gathered together against Israel cannot change what God has determined for Israel. God has...

God has laid down the Law for a specific way for fallen man to come back in fellowship with Him. He will not force anyone, man has the free will to choose to obey God or suffer the consequences.

Will God stop you from robbing a bank? No He won't, but that is not His will for you. You're free to do whatever you want, even though God doesn't want that for you. Does God want you to be eternally separated from Him, No, He does not. Will most men be eternally separated from God, yes they...

God wants all to be saved, doesn't the Scripture say, "It's my Father's will that none should perish? But God doesn't always get His way with man and his free will.

God's plan of redemption is for all who will believe. Not for chosen individuals. Christ dying on the Cross will benefit no one unless they believe. We who believe were chosen for a specific plan to be conformed into the image of Christ.

We were discussing redemption, isn't that the purpose of the Cross in the op?

Of course the promise came long before Moses, but what about my question on redemption?

I have a better question. When Paul said that He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, were we chosen individually for salvation or were we chosen as a group for a specific plan of redemption to be conformed into Christ?

Redemption is the law before the foundation of the world. Man knew about it in Genesis 3.

If salvation is seen differently, then all of Scripture will be seen differently. That's where we are, Aaron, we will agree on very little in Scripture, if that.

We see it differently, I see a legal work in all aspects by divine decree.

Christ took upon Himself all the sins on mankind, even the most horrible sins committed by man. Christ dying on the Cross was a legal work according to God's law, and was mandatory, only the death of the Cross would satisfy God's law. The only way man's justification could be made possible. In...

I would dare say that the majority, if not all Calvinists here disagree with you. You're in a class of Hyper-Calvinism I'm yet to see here from anyone else.

You'll never be able to prove that from Scripture because it's not true! The death and resurrection of Christ made it possible to be saved. Even before His death on the Cross and His resurrection, faith in Him doing so in the future saved the OT saints. You have totally and completely...

There's a huge difference in a woman witnessing to a man, and a woman pastoring to a man. Paul never had in mind for a man to seek spiritual guidance from a woman. This conversation always leads to some seeing this as the degrading of women. Far from it, the man has his place as does the...

I think you're right, it's the way most look at it. There were many women that played a huge role in the Church, but none of them were pastors. None met the qualifications given by Paul. There's not even a hint in Scripture that a woman pastored a Church, even though they witnessed and...

If I remember correctly, Paul said for the women to be silent in the Church.

Everyone I know loves Spurgeon. Here's an exchange of letters in hopes that Mr. Spurgeon would come to America. The editor for the Boston papers falsely claimed Spurgeon was coming to America. BOSTON, MASS,. June 22, 1876 DEAR SIR, Is the above paragraph true? We have tried so long and so...

In the book, The Life And Works of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the author, Dr. Henry D. Northrop tells personal stories from Mr. Spurgeon as he remembers them throughout this book. Some are funny and some will bring tears to your eyes. This is a funny one. Dr. Northrop recalls this story from an...

My whole life I've believed that Enoch and Elijah were the 2 witnesses of Revelation, but I was wrong. About 2 years ago I talked with one of the witnesses on the TJ forum, he declared he is one of the 2 witnesses. Low and behold, about 6 months later I met the other one on another talk...
