Once again, the verse this poster misrepresented was: New King James Version Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ When does scripture say God makes known His...

1 Sameul 3:14 NASB “Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the wrongdoing of Eli’s house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.” Ever wonder why the "atonement" of the Old Covenant did not make the person perfect, holy and blameless, but only...

Yet another nonsense post addressing my behavior but running from the issue. The LORD could cause an outcome or allow a random outcome. Either would be from the Lord who causes or allows whatsoever comes to pass. Thus, like all the rest of the "God causes everything according to His plan"...

Obfuscation, as God declares the end from the beginning.

1) No, once again, Dave, you seem unwilling to present what Romans 4 says. Abraham's faith was credited as righteousness, but Abraham's was not credited with righteousness. 2) The premise of our faith or belief depends on God considering our faith as valid for His purpose. Demons believe...

Folks, ever notice deceivers often charge truth tellers with the same malfeasance they practice. I am charged with opposing biblical teaching, but my view passes the text of scripture. Note the citation of Hebrews 9:27 which says we die once then face judgement. Does this conflict with...

"Hope and reconciliation" The actual gospel of Christ offers hope for reconciliation to lost humanity. Some wrongly claim we were either saved or damned from all eternity for all eternity and there is nothing we can do to alter that outcome for ourselves or our loved ones. But that is a false...

Proverbs 16:33 NASB The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD. This verse is sometimes cited to support the claim that God causes everything that happens, including what appears to humans as chance or random events. However, the verse...

The merit (or lack their of) of "faith" is not found in the Greek word form, but in whether or not God credited that "faith" as righteousness. We see in the account of Abraham, that he trusted in God's promise, and would follow God's instructions, even when they seemed to run counter to His...

Yes, one of the meanings of a Hebrew word is "without definite aim" and is translated as "random in 1 Kings 22:34 and 2 Chronicles 18:33. But the actual issue is the false claim, all the chance events simply reflect the human perspective, but God's plan has Him in complete control of everything...

"Pastors should be training their successors. New pastors rise from churches, not seminaries. Paul told Timothy to look for faithful men who will be able to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2). We must follow the biblical example of leadership training in the local church." (from the linked...

Denial of 2 Thessalonians 2:13. Baptists claim scripture has the final say on doctrine, but Calvinist say their doctrine has final say over scripture. No individual is chosen for salvation unconditionally, that is precluded by 1 Peter 2:9-10. There will be no explanation for 1 Peter 2:9-10...

Does faith, once credited by God as righteousness, prevent us from "snatching at the bait?" Nope, we all stumble and stray from the path, Our salvation prevents us from the consequence (God's wrath) of our errant steps. The question is: Are we like the babes in Christ of 1 Corinthians 3:1...

The issue is not that God is all-powerful and does as He pleases. He is and He does! The issue is that it pleased God not to cause everything, but rather to allow some things to happen by chance, and to allow humans to make autonomous choices to sin and to trust fully in Christ or not! That...

It bothers me that the "manifestos" of these shooters are immediately taken down and no one in the media is either willing or able to publish them so the voters could see just what these shooters claimed to be thinking. The Trump shooter for example.

Yet another thread on the doctrine of denial of the opportunity to be saved by God, based on God crediting the lost person's faith as righteousness. Do not let these false doctrines prevent you from obtaining the opportunity for salvation.

Now this poster denies that Esau and Jacob were chosen to father two nations and were chosen so the older would serve the younger, and were not chosen for salvation because they were not chosen through faith. Basically any passage that conflicts with his man-made doctrine does not mean what it...

Every poster who falsely claimed scripture does not teach some things happen by chance and other things happen because God caused or predestined them has also failed to acknowledge their error. Absolute Sovereignty, where God causes or predestines everything is false doctrine, God's sovereignty...

More nonsense, more misdirection. Did anyone say Esau and Jacob, chosen while in the womb, were chosen because of their will? No, but this poster blathers on. They were chosen conditionally, so the older would serve the younger and were not chosen for salvation through faith in the truth...

On and on, as if God only chooses people for salvation and not for another purpose, such as schooling Judas as the betrayer. Everyone knows Jacob and Esua were not chosen for salvation because they were not chosen through faith in the truth, 2 Thessalonians 2:13.
