Fair enough. So you believe that God created the world in a place where He was sovereign but allowed Adam and Eve to have Free will? If so, then you believe a non-Calvinist‘s view of sovereignty. But you should not be saying this, because you should be saying that that God is sovereign over...

You will understand that I don't know anything about you. It did not appear to me from your previous posts that you have studied Calvinism, so I thought a quotation from the 1689 Confession might be helpful. OK. Yes. No. She sinned of her own free will as the Bible tells us (Gen. 3:6)...

You are certainly welcome to appeal to a confession, but confessions or people professing that there are no contradictions or implications of sin doesnt make it so. I have studied Calvinism quite a bit, and I would think you would have an actual response to my questions instead of appealing to...

It isn't a problem for me, and it isn't a problem for Calvinists generally. I think you would do well to study Calvinism before you make adverse comments about it. Here is the 1689 Baptist Confession on Free Will. I offer it, not because I think it's infallible or anything like that, but to...

Two issues you have here: 1. The first problem is this is about ones role to judge, not character. 2. The second is that you selected a conditional statement. We can (and do) judge others… the problem is that we are corrupt and so are guilty ourselves. God also judges others, and He is perfect...

Thanks for addressing a bible study view concerning John 8:47. The Greek word transliterated "akouo" (G191) is said by Strong's to be used to indicate those "of God" attentively listen, so the usage includes both hearing God and making an effort to consider what is said. So I agree with your...

John 8:47 NASB “The one who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.” One post defined being "of God" as those God "will saved." That is a fiction. To be "of God" or "of My sheep" simply refers to those of the lost who are open to...

1) There are no goats until after physical death. 2) Yes, not all the sheep are "Of My sheep." Those who are not "of My sheep" either do not hear, or do not heed God's word. 3) Paul spoke to men of flesh using spiritual milk, so the claim it is only for those born anew is an unbiblical...

" Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of...

Greetings Is this actually true? The problem is that the statement, which I know is a common Reformed assumption, is that it assumes a negative inference to be clearly true (and it is not clearly true, logically). The Negative Inference 1. The sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they...

Luke 21:26-27 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Be prepared or else get ready - Matthew...

MATTHEW 24: THE REAL FACTS -> THE REAL FULFILLMENT OF JESUS's PROPHECY - THREE TERRIBLE PROPHETIC EVENTS -> See, the testimony of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy, understand? 1ST EVENT - DESTRUCTION O THE TEMPLE - > DEN OF THIEVES 2ND EVENT - THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING AFTER TWO DAYS OR AFTER...

Has anyone even looked at how the phrase "from the beginning" is used in scripture. Look at these examples where the phrase refers to a whole time period subsequent to an event. 2 Samuel 21:10, Ecc. 3:11, Isa. 46:10, Mat. 19:8, Luke 1:2, John 6:64, John 8:25, Acts 26:4, 2 Thess 2:13, 1 John...

Acts 16:31. 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.' John 6:37. 'All that the Father gives Me will come to Me.....' The giving of people by the Father to the Son comes first. The coming of those people comes afterwards. Your system has people coming to Christ first, and...

It is the flaw of thinking someone can be only a "little bit bad"... sick and in need of a little medicine and rest ... rather than "a slave to sin" [John 8:34] or "dead" and "by nature children of wrath" [Ephesians 2:1-3] thus in desperate need of MERCY [Romans 9:15-16] and a new heart [Ezekiel...

Always interesting the cherry picking of the people using the Bible. OT for Gay issue NT for adultery?

You are aware, I suppose, that the Lord Jesus Himself declared the judicial part of the O.T. law obsolete, though the seventh commandment remains in force (James 2:11 etc.). Christians are no longer (and haven't been for 2,000 years) stoning adulterers, but rather telling them, "Go and sin no...

This is why they or anyone for that matter cannot hear Him, BF. They chose not t believe Him, the loved their way, the Devil's way, not God's way. John 8:43-45 "Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your...

Your interpretation is very interesting, but if we analyze deeply according Scriptures we will conclude something more wonderful. We must know that Michael is a fellowservant of the believers in Christ JESUS. It was he who revealed the whole context of the book of Revelation to John. Revelation...

In order to understand what our Lord is saying in vs. 17-18, it will be helpful to read again the whole of Chapter 5 before proceeding. In v17, He is making a qualification. His teaching up to this point has been absolutely remarkable- speaking of the poor in spirit, the meek, the hungry, the...
