Which of the 5 points says that it is the will of God that people perish?

Paul was a great man, but he was not God. God removes the heart of stone and replaces it with a heart of flesh. God opened the heart of Lydia to hear the words of Paul.

How will “god” justify himself for sending billions to Hell because they made one wrong choice about believing a story that happened 2000 years ago compared to all the evil that “god” permits every day around them? [I used “god” instead of “God” because FREE WILL means that “god” has no more...

In the parable of the sower, the SEED (gospel) is broadcast to everyone within reach, but most will not allow it to take root (reject God’s offer). Only in the GOOD SOIL can the seed (gospel) grow to bear the fruit of new life (salvation). As any farmer or gardener can tell you, it is the...

The title of the topic is “Reasons Why Professed Christians Fail To See or Grasp The Doctrines Of Grace”, and while I understand the intention … if we are going to be honest … I have never actually met very many people that fail to “grasp” the Doctrines of Grace. I mean, there is some confusion...

Who is responsible for Joseph being in Egypt to save many lives (according to Genesis 50:20)? I suspect that you have created a false dichotomy … it is not “either/or”.

Umm ... Thomas Jefferson was a deist that denied all miracles (including the Virgin Birth and Resurrection). Jefferson even created his own bible excising all that miracle nonsense from it. So quite a "champion" you have selected for your cause. Yes, I can see the similarities between the...

Like Lydia, whose heart God opened to receive the words about to be preached? [Acts 16:14] ... or more like "as many as were appointed to eternal life believed"? [Acts 13:48] Because ultimately, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will...

No, they acknowledged the fall of man (which I later learned even Classic Arminians do) but adopted the Wesleyan “prevenient grace” solution for how God draws all men from helplessness to “free will” to choose or reject His offer. My issue was that it contradicted my personal salvation...

I do. I arrived at 4 of the points as an atheist attending a Wesleyan Holiness church and reading the Bible to try and understand this whole Christianity thing … so whatever Augustine or John might have discovered, I doubt it was taught from the pulpit of the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana).

I agree that there is nothing "wrong" with them ... however, nobody I know denies that Shakespeare is in "archaic" and not "modern" English and the Elizabethan words are not commonly used except at the Renaissance Festival. In contrast, Rick claimed those words were archaic (which they are) and...

Just for fun I did a search for this book. I discovered that I could buy the paperback from Walmart. I found a 2009 discussion (review) of it from a KJVO defender. It was interesting what he (I assume it was a "he", online names make gender hard to identify) chose to quote from your book and...

The issue is you have created two paths for legal immigration … a 10 year official legal process to get permission or overstay a tourist visa and wait 3 months.

I can only speak for myself, but if an OP is unwilling to even summarize the key points they want to discuss, then I feel no obligation to follow an anonymous link to try and work out what point was attempting to be made. So I just take the TITLE at face value. How would you react if everyone...

I located the Syriac Bible ... Revelation 22:19 - ܘܰܐܝܢܳܐ ܕ݁ܰܡܒ݂ܰܨܰܪ ܡܶܢ ܡܶܠܶܐ ܕ݁ܰܟ݂ܬ݂ܳܒ݂ܳܐ ܕ݁ܰܢܒ݂ܺܝܽܘܬ݂ܳܐ ܗܳܕ݂ܶܐ ܢܒ݂ܰܨܰܪ ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ܡܢܳܬ݂ܶܗ ܡܶܢ ܩܰܝܣܳܐ ܕ݁ܚܰܝܶܐ ܘܡܶܢ ܡܕ݂ܺܝܢ݈ܬ݁ܳܐ ܩܰܕ݁ܺܝܫܬ݁ܳܐ ܐܰܝܠܶܝܢ ܕ݁ܰܟ݂ܬ݂ܺܝܒ݂ܳܢ ܒ݁ܰܟ݂ܬ݂ܳܒ݂ܳܐ ܗܳܢܳܐ Three Syriac to English translations: (Etheridge) And if any man...

Setting aside the Greek and Latin early manuscripts that we have, what did OTHER early translators use ... Isn't there a manuscript tradition from India? What about the Ethiopian Church, what language did they use?
