The poster of post #46 ignored the evidence and reposted the false claim, the canard of Calvinism. This is all they have folks, deflection rather than edification. Jesus says many seek the narrow door, but Calvinism claims Jesus miss-spoke as all the lost hate God continuously.

Right, Halleluh-jah.

I have answered that off the shelf Calvinist canard dozens of times "No verse says or suggest that while we are spiritually dead, we cannot seek God or put our trust in Christ, Luke 13:24. Not all, but many do seek God and eternal life in Christ."

Since we were born spiritually dead, then we must be born anew to become spiritually alive. That spiritual rebirth is called "REGENERATION." The washing of regeneration removes the sin penalty of separation, allowing us to be made alive together with Christ.

Most believers, not just Calvinists believe we were made sinners, Romans 5:19, and therefore we were conceived in iniquity, Psalm 51:5, and therefore we were brought forth is a spiritually separated state from God, thus spiritually "dead" in our sin, Isaiah 59:2. The Opening post, therefore...

Exodus 3:15 LSB And God furthermore said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name from...

The Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) was created as as an alternate revision of the 1995 New American Standard Bible by the Lockman Foundation. One distinctive is that it translates the four Hebrew letter "tetragrammaton" (YHWH) as Yahweh. Since earlier translations thought the tetragrammaton should...

The Greek word, huiothesia (G5206) appears about 5 times in the New Testament writings of Paul. The word, translated usually as adoption, is found in these verses: Romans 8:15, Romans 8:23, Romans 9:4, Galatians 4:6, and Ephesians 1:5. The meaning of the Greek word as used in the New Testament...

Yes, just how could Christ die for us, while we were yet sinners, if no charge can be brought against the elect, those of us in Christ? Answer - we were not yet "Elect" when Christ died for us, we only became elect when God transferred us spiritually into Christ, Colossians 1:13. Calvinism...

Unless Christ or his inspired NT writers provided the direction for born anew believers, the Old Covenant Laws, such as the Law of Moses, have been superseded and are no longer applicable to born anew believers. The purpose of the Law was to guide us to Christ, the purpose of the Law of Liberty...

Predestination is a False Doctrine. Calvinism's false doctrine is that Ephesians 1:4 teaches individuals (foreseen before they were created) were individually chosen for salvation before creation. This is precluded by 1 Peter 2:9-10 which says we once were not a people chosen for his own...

Yes, if individuals were in fact "elected (chosen individually for salvation) before creation, they would not be condemned for unbelief, and would never have been children of wrath,

1. Calvinism is Fatalistic. Calvinism promotes fatalism and resignation. In reality, Calvinists believe everything has been predestined, you were either saved or damned from eternity for eternity, and there is nothing you can do to alter that outcome for yourself or your loved ones. 2...

How does scripture actually present the order of divine actions accomplishing individual salvation in Christ? 1) God provides the revelation in the form of the gospel 2) The person's heart has not been hardened, thus they hear and respond to the draw of the gospel 3) God, who knows their...

Let us consider various translations of Acts 13:48: KJV = ordained NKJV = appointed LEB = designated TLB = wanted NOG = prepared TLV = inscribed WE = before chosen Clearly those who believe individuals were chosen for salvation individually before creation read into this verse a prior election...

Ah, the ol victory in the unreferenced past routine once again from the springs without water posters. It never ends folks, now we get the ol "you made it up" routine just like what was claimed about God granting something can mean God allowing something. They claimed that was made up too...

Here is an example of a study result. Say you are going to study a verse which has "faith" in it. And your comparison study bible is the NIV. How does the NIV translate the Greek word "pistis?" Out of about 242 uses in the NT, the NIV goes with "faith" about 221 times in the NIV. Other...

Here we see another mindless "taint so" post, addressing my supposed flaws rather than the topic. Note not one word concerning the fact the elect were once not a people and had not received mercy. Thus no individual could be elected before creation.

Yet another mindless "taint so" post, devoid of any edifying content from scripture. Note the number of specific references to scripture: Predestination is a False Doctrine. Calvinism's false doctrine is that Ephesians 1:4 teaches individuals (foreseen before they were created) were...
