Yet another non sequitur! The passage has no mention of "receiving understanding supernaturally via "irresistible grace." That view is simply read into the passage by those who must rewrite scripture to conform with false doctrine. First they claim the lost cannot understand, based on...

Angels were created before God laid the foundation of the earth, Job 38:7, but the one who became Satan does not seem to have fallen until after the earth was created, because Jesus describes the fall like lightning out of heaven. However, that implication is not logically necessitated...

Another word might supplement human reaction to the unknown would be unfamiliar. We can know something about other people, but we would still tend be cautious until they become familiar. Thus we still have de facto segregation, people grouping with others of their own likeness, but de jure...

Good Grief, yet another thread making one false claim after another. 1) Does scripture say a lost person cannot understand the gospel. No, some receive it with joy. See soils 2,3 and 4 of Matthew 13. A lost person cannot understand spiritual solid food (meat) which are "the things" in view...

Might we be so bold as to consider "Reformed Baptist Onlyists" who advocate for the TULIP way or the highway? Would it be wrong for me, a virulent anti-Calvinist, to join a "Reformed Baptist" fellowship because of my spirit of disunity? My answer is a simple "YES."

Here this poster defies God's word, claiming faith is a work of righteousness, rather than a worthless human endeavor unless credited as righteousness by God, turning a sows ear into a silk purse. It is rather easy to understand the difference between faith and belief. If we accept something...

What if he is already saved, and he is just trying to enter heaven abundantly? 2 Peter 1:10-11

The Absurdity of a Non-Christian Democracy. Why? Behold the Democrat party. They say others are trying to suppress the vote, while stuffing ballot boxes with phony ballots that suppress the effect of legitimate votes. Why not require proof of United States citizenship in order to vote in...

Let's see, the thread is based on presenting an undefined term. We know what baptists are, and they are not all in agreement on doctrine. The term "onlyist" probably refers to someone who must have at least one one way or the highway, or they will sever the connection. For example, all...

LOL, this is a ball of confusion. Scripture says God credited Abraham's faith as righteousness, but this poster claims it really means God credited Christ's righteousness to "Faith" with a capital, signifying some sort of divine origin. These posts make up stuff as if from an automated...

The Old Testament contains two accounts of an Ark, with both appearing to foreshadow God's "Ark of Salvation." We have Noah's ark which provided a way of salvation for a remnant of humanity, and we have the Ark of the Covenant, which prefigured Christ's humanity (made of wood) and His divinity...

If we accept something as true, we believe it is true. But we can say we believe Jesus is our Lord, but then lack commitment such that we would make Jesus the Lord of our life. James tells us of "dead faith" which does not produce faithfulness. On the other hand, live faith results in...

All of scripture fits together perfectly, when we rightly divide its truth as authorized workmen not needing to be ashamed. Those that need to nullify verse after verse, rather than reverse course and check their assumptions or understanding of the verses that are the basis of their beliefs need...

In a post on an entirely different topic, this assertion was made: When you read the Gospels in the Bible, such as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, do they sometimes seem to contradict other parts of the New Testament Scripture? For example, in Matthew 6:15, Jesus said, “If you refuse to forgive...

Acts 7:43 NASB ‘YOU ALSO TOOK ALONG THE TABERNACLE OF MOLOCH AND THE STAR OF YOUR GOD [fn]ROMPHA, THE IMAGES WHICH YOU MADE TO WORSHIP. I ALSO WILL DEPORT YOU BEYOND BABYLON.’ ___________________________ NASB footnote: Other mss spell it: Romphan, Rempham, Raiphan; or...

Here is a useful paper covering our biblically based knowledge of Satan and Demons as our devilish Adversaries . https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=/context/cgm_bib_doc/article/1004/&path_info=Angelology__Satanology_and_Demonology.pdf

A Sad Story of Our Human Condition When I was growing up in Southern California, I lived in an almost white bubble. There were a few Hispanics, which were derided as "low riders" or "beaners." Growing up, I had no black or Asian friends. When I began attending Junior High, in my 7th or 8th...

Still refusing to acknowledge God credits the faith of some believers as righteousness, rather than credits the believer with righteousness. Sorry

Obfuscation, citing unidentified verse without reference to what it supports. Acts 15:17-18 says "So that the rest of humanity, even the Gentiles invited by My name, may seek the LORD, says the Lord who makes these things known from long ago. " The Lord made these things know in Isaiah...
