We don't know when God determined man would be saved through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son. That was His plan at some point in the past. That is what believing man was predestined for, whosoever will, let him come.

No, we are not enemies, we just disagree.

Yes, you did give me a say, I thank you for that!

Paul said "with the heart man believes unto righteousness." I think it obvious that righteousness comes from believing. Then Paul also said that "Abraham believed God and He counted it to him for righteousness." If we put this together from Paul we can see that God grants righteousness...

Yes, opposing a theory that has never been established from Scripture. It's all theory and contradicts verse after verse in Scripture.

"For many are called but few are chosen." The chosen are they who hear the Gospel and believe, calling on God in repentance and for mercy, seeing they are lost in this world with no hope. They were predestined before the foundation of the world to be conformed into the image of Christ. They...

The same could be said of the TULIP theory. But we know God desires all to be saved and that He so loved the world that He gave His Son. We know that God reaches out to man through the preaching and hearing of His Gospel. We know that God has charged us believers to spread the Gospel...

If you must, then deny that Scripture says God desires all men everywhere be saved, make yourself of no credibility. God's desire for all men to be saved does not mean all men everywhere will be saved. It means God has given man the free will to choose his own way, which you again deny.

The Gospel according to the apostle Paul. 1 Cor. 15:1-4 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain...

1 Cor. 2:1-5 "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much...

@John of Japan I remember as a young teenager our SS class would go out on the weekends to the shopping centers (before the malls) and pass out your grandfathers tracts from the Sword of the Lord, inviting them to Church.

This post takes me back to when I was a young man raised up in that small IFB Church.

We agree on so much here, except that God always gets His way with man. You know that it's not God's will that man rejects His Son. You won't admit it here but in your heart you know the truth. God allows man to do the things He has revealed to us is wrong, even to the point of rejecting of...

Prov. 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." "Train up" means to hedge in a child, in this context it refers to the Holy Bible, the way he should go. My Biblical foundation began in SS, and my Mom's determination to raise me in the...

What took you so long, ky? That is entirely a matter yet to be seen for both of us. I do look forward to that day, maybe we can discuss it then.

Yes, I have to say that I have more in common with Van than not. Though he and I have different perspectives most often.

You're interrupting a promise I made to my God concerning my continuous anger management program with Him. I tend to fall off the wagon from time to time, but I made a promise and intend to keep it to best of my ability by way of the Holy Spirit. I'm sure you can understand why I have said...

I don't know what Bible you're reading, it's surly not the one I read. God does not always get His way with man, there is no excuse whatsoever to misunderstand this. God has clearly, according to Scripture, commanded all men everywhere to repent, and we can plainly see that has not happened...

We must all make a very important decision in this life. Is the God we serve a God that has chosen an elect group to be saved and left the rest to suffer in Hell. Or is God One who desires all man to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth, giving man a choice to accept Him or suffer the...

Look guys, you can reject it, as I'm sure you will, but you can plainly see in Scripture that God has created man a free moral agent to choose his own way. You can plainly see that through this gift from God, He doesn't always get His way with man. I agree God is Sovereign over all things and...
