Martin I know what the bible says regarding one's salvation and I have even pointed that out to various Calvinists. Where you drop the ball is when you say because you were "elect" before the foundation of the world then you could not be lost and yet you say that does not mean you were saved...

Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21: 'And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.'

Praise the Lord that God has not left men to their own devices. God sent prophets and preachers to give His word. God sent His Son to obtain salvation. Jesus Christ sends His disciples to call men to repentance. Anyone who thinks that answering the call of God to men is salvation of men and...

Psalm 115:3. 'But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.' Which begs the question of why everyone is not saved. The fact of the matter is that 'Whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be saved' (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13). There is no question about it; heaven is wide...

SIX SEALS AND DISASTERS Revelation 6.1-17 The disasters unleashed after each broken seal very much self-explainable, wars, crime, bloodshed, diseases, famines, and so on, all of which did happened in the past, happening now, and will happen in the future. The verses 9-11 perhaps the most...

WALKING DEAD Revelation 3.1-2 "you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." ~ 1. *a name. KSB, KJV, NRSV, Gideons. "you have the reputation of being alive." GNB, NIV, ESV. These verses exactly repeated the meaning and the same theme which was indicated in the previous chapter...

English did not have a completely stable pronoun system in 1611. English had not reached full maturity in 1611. Martin Manser noted: “The [KJV] translators used ‘his,’ ‘her,’ ‘of it,’ or ‘thereof’ when they needed a neuter possessive” (I Never Knew, p. 240). David Crystal affirmed that in the...

The Two Wines: Life or Decay Scripture speaks of wine in more than one sense, and the difference is not hidden. One wine is produced by fermentation, which is a process of decay. The other is the fresh fruit of the vine, which is a symbol of joy, blessing, and life. English translations use the...

The seed of Israel shall be justified ! In keeping with the particular , discriminating nature of Gods Love and Salvation. That its for a special people Israel as Paul preached in Acts 13:23 23Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: No...

Never seen that. Forgive me, but I don't see how these passages prove that grapes can contain alcohol. The alcohol occurs naturally by the wild yeast that is on the skin when the grapes are harvested. That doesn't add up to alcohol occurring inside the grape, IMO.

Fermentation can begin even on the vine. ...ever see birds that had feasted on ripe berries in the summer? Quite a sight seeing them flopping around on the ground! Isaiah 62:8–9 (ESV) The Lord has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: “I will not again give your grain to be food for...

In Hebrew, the word oth (אוֹת, pronounced owth) means sign, token, mark, or miracle. It describes a physical object, event, or symbol that points to a deeper meaning, a divine promise, or a proof of an event. Strong’s — Oth = a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument...

No, God is not unjust. He did not cause Christ's "oppression", He dies not punish the Just, and He does not clear the guilty. I also view it as only negative. But in the end our understanding does not matter. Words actually have meaning. Retribution - the dispensing or receiving of reward...

If I employ, say, a builder to repair my house, my payment to him would be recompense for his work. I have never heard of such a payment being called 'retribution.' In my understanding 'recompense' can be positive or negative; retribution only negative. This is very interesting. Jeremiah...

What if Jesus was given the name of (i.e. the authority of) YHWH for his ministry, per Jn 17:11? This then accounts for why faith in Jesus under the New Covenant fulfils the Joel prophecy: it denotes recognition of Jesus as God's Son, and allows, as Jesus himself allowed, that the YHWH name was...

It should go without saying that YHWH ( Jehovah, LORD) does not appear anywhere in the New Testament. The word used is theos, 'God,' kurios, 'Lord' or pater, 'Father,' which is of course how Christians are instructed to address God (Matt. 6:9). So when we consider Joel 2:32, '...And it shall...

Nehemiah’s was a solitary prayer, but the Bible makes it clear that God looks for His people to come together in corporate prayer at times of emergency. In 2Chronicles 20, when Judah was threatened by a great invasion, King Jehoshaphat did two things (v3f). He ‘set himself to seek the LORD’...
