I guess the best answer is the simple answer. 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we...

I have wondered if “murderer from the beginning” goes back even further than Adam and Eve, to the time when Lucifer attempted to usurp the throne of God Almighty. Did he want to kill God?

Ascetic X replied to a thread you are watching at Baptist Christian Forums. Flat-Earth Christians As we can see, the interpretations made through the Jews as above posted through demonic pictures, they have nothing to do with Scriptures were cited, quite the opposite, they have to do with the...

Hebrews 2:14. 'Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.....' One purpose of the Lord Jesus in coming to the earth is revealed here: the...

What I liked, and agree with, Spurgeon the most on this topic is that the crux of Satan bruising Jesus' heal was Christ's death. I had not considered the ministry as a part of this bruising. I am not sure that that is actually appropriate (Christ suffered as we do, He shared our humanity). I...

If that is what Spurgeon wrote, it is almost exactly what I argued on a previous thread on this subject. It does seem to me to be verging on blasphemous to suggest that Satan killed the Lord Jesus, not to mention being contradicted by a large number of Biblical texts. However, that is not to...

We are all slaves to sin prior to our trusting in God. Or do you think your "elect" are excluded from this? Since we are in Christ through faith and that sets us free from the slavery of sin then indeed He has set us free. Who does God call to Himself? Mat 11:28 Come to Me, all you who are...

John 8:34-36 (ESV) Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. The verses you mentioned come from being liberated...

We know that Abraham had knowledge of the coning Christ/Messiah. I personally believe that is a part of what Abraham believed from God. Whether a vision or dream who knows, but Christ told us that Abraham seen His day and was glad. John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and...

I would agree that election in and of itself does not save. However, election does ensure that one will indeed come to faith at the appointed time. I accept the 1689 LBCF as doctrinally accurate, which would seem to be the opposite of what you're saying. Chapter 3, Paragraph 1 God hath...

Greetings, @Paleouss, I appreciate your valuable insight, and it does give me something to think about. Every person receives light, yet not everyone will respond to that light in a positive manner. The very light that is rejected will serve as the foundation for their judgment. Acts 17:30 -...

Reading through your post I see a bit of confusion there. On one hand you say "that is why Jesus came to be “the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” (1Tim 4:10). He did this by being the “Light which gives light to every man” (John 1:9)" Then later you say "The Son of God...

Greetings to you Jesus Fan. Grace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. I think I could just as easily put this post in the other Reformed thread but I chose to put it in the Evangelical thread. As many know, I think both have their truths but then wander into error when closing...

In infants this mystical union with Christ is formed by the Holy Ghost's application of him, or Christ's spiritual application of himself, as made of God to them wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, and thus forming in them a new nature, including faith, love, repentance, and...

This is a good example as well. Hopefully this will help you understand exegesis vs eisegesis. Exegesis is the process of extracting the intended meaning from a text, while eisegesis is the practice of reading one's own ideas into a text. 1. Christ came under the bondage of sin and death...

Man was created after the image of God, in spiritual knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, his mind duly discerning every proper object, and his conscience, will, and affections awing or inclining him to perform every part of duty towards God or his fellow-creatures, Eccles 7:29; Gen 1:26-27...

Nor will the Jews' notion of a guardian angel, if they had it, or an angel attending an apostle, be any proof, Acts 12:15. But many angels, abusing the freedom of their will, by pride or some other sin, quickly fell from that holy and happy state in which they were created, 2 Pet 2:4; Jude 6; 1...

They are represented as now either in heaven or hell, Matt 18:10; Matt 22:30; 2 Pet 2:4; Jude 6. They are unembodied spirits, endowed by God with a very extensive understanding and an active will. And though they can assume bodies of condensed air, in which they may appear to men, Gen 18:2; Gen...

Greetings Van. I totally agree. The Scripture appears to be in unison here. 1. God our Savior “desires all men to be saved” (1Tit 2:4) 2. Therefore, Jesus came to be “the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” (1Tim 4:10). 3. Because God is the savior of all men, Jesus came to...

II. It follows that certain particular persons have been, in God's decree, appointed to wrath, Mal 1:2-3; Rom 9:11-18; 1 Thess 5:9; Jude 4; were never favorably known by God, Matt 7:23; were never appointed or ordained to eternal life, Rev 13:8; Rev 17:8. —Nay, particular election of some...
