I would put it down to: I have my mind made up do not confuse me with the truth.

BF are you blind or do you just ignore what is posted? How do you square your comment with what was posted? the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies his faith is credited as righteousness. Why do you think that means one has to accomplish works such as keep every single...

You continue to prove that you do not read the posts you comment on BF. Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. We were all judged as sinners/wicked before we were redeemed by God through our faith in Christ...

BF you just must start reading verses in context. Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

@Regulus from what you wrote I gather that you were saved when you trusted in Christ and at some later date you then came to trust the calvinist view of your salvation. As I see it the problem you have is not with calvinist's but with the calvinist view of salvation. Let me be clear I do not...

@David Lamb it is not a question of whether God is sovereign, He is, it is why do those of the C/R view require the word "absolute" stuck in front of sovereign? Do you think there is a difference between sovereign and absolute sovereign, does adding the word make God more sovereign?

God desires that all come to repentance and Christ will draw all to Himself and the Holy Spirit convicts the whole world of their sin. So we see that the whole Godhead is involved in our redemption. We know that the gospel is the power of God for our salvation and that God is gracious and will...

My home church is 4421 Km [2747.08 miles] away give or take 1 k so a tad hard making it on a weekly basis or yearly basis for that matter.. We listen to two or three services a week as can't attend here in person due to health. Other problem is we seem to be overrun with woke churches in our...

Still no clear biblical text to support your view. You are trusting more in a man's opinion rather than the word of God.

Why do you trust and post some man's opinion but fail to post or trust the word of God?

Don't you believe the bible Ken? Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Eph 2:9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Act 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your...

You just proved my point Ken. That verse does not support your claims Ken but it does support man's free will choice. We have the gospel message that we can hear and believe and trust in Him for our salvation. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for...

God desires all to be saved and He convicts all of the their sin but He also says that only those that believe will be saved. So if God sets the condition of salvation then who are you oh man to speak against Him. Joh 3:14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man...

Those are the opinions of Gill. The bible shows that those that hear and believe the gospel message will be saved. We are saved through the grace of God because we believe not so that we will believe.

Those are bold claims you just made Ken. Care to back them up with clear biblical text.

Salvation can not be earned Ken but God has set the condition of receiving that Gift, faith in His son. I know you have these verses in your bible so I have to wonder why you deny them? Act 16:30 He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Act 16:31 They replied...

You betray your bias by the choice of your words Ken. You have followed a false religion and have misunderstood the word of God. The gift of salvation is offered to mankind and God desires that all would come to Him but He will not force anyone to do so. Those that trust in Him will be saved...

Your use of "prevent" points to your error in thinking Ken. God does not force people to be saved which your choice of the word "prevent" would suggest. You think God picked out a select group before the foundation of the world that would be saved no matter what. God desires all to be saved...

You have just shown that you do not understand free will. God has set the condition for salvation, faith in His son. Those that meet that condition will be saved by Him. Man does not contribute top to or save himself, that is just a false flag of the C/R's. Do you not have Rom 1:16 in your...

I have to ask where do you get the silly idea that man thinks he is sovereign?
