When someone claims the "context" rewrites the meaning of a verse, they are just using a meaningless word to justify nullifying the verse. Nearly all of the "context, context, context claimers do not seem to even know how to study a passage and determine the immediate context. One poster...

In Deuteronomy 22:6 we see "“If you happen to come upon a bird’s nest along the way...." NASB In 1 Samuel 6:9 we see "...it happened to us by chance.” NASB In 2 Samuel 1:6 we see "By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa...." NASB The Hebrew word "qara" H7122 is sometimes translated as...

On and on, denial of truth is the Calvinist game, and nullification of truth is the outcome. "God chose Jacob (whom He later renamed “Israel”) to be the father of His chosen people, the Israelites. God rejected Esau (who was also called “Edom”) and did not choose him to be the father of His...

Certainly the New Covenant is hidden in the Old Covenant, but the relevant truths of the Old Covenant are revealed clearly in the New Covenant. The timeless meaning of the bronze serpent (See Numbers 21:9) is presented by the Gospel of Christ in the New Covenant. Not the other way around. The...

Complete fiction, an assertion with absolutely no support in scripture. Folks, they just make it up and spew it out. "God chose Jacob (whom He later renamed “Israel”) to be the father of His chosen people, the Israelites. God rejected Esau (who was also called “Edom”) and did not choose him...

Everyone knows the election of Romans 9:11 was not for salvation. And it IS conditional, God chose the older to serve the younger!

Hebrews 11:7 NET By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. This translation...

Yes, God makes plans, and no plan of God can be thwarted. God planned before creation that His Lamb of God would sacrifice His life to provide the means of reconciliation for fallen humanity. This plan was known before Adam had sinned in the garden! God's redemption plan established before...

Sadly, sometimes the lyrics of songs present demonic falsehoods. But they can be reborn according to God's grace: 1. Amazing love! transcendent grace! Redemption's scheme displays; In God's conditionally chosen race, To His eternal praise. 2. His sons, by Him, were all foreknown, As...

What drivel, the gift of faith via irresistible grace is a complete fiction with no support in scripture. Next, the Calvinists, whether they deny it or not, claim if God uses the lost person's faith, that is a works based salvation. Scripture says God credits the faith of those that believe the...

You can make your false charges concerning my character till the cows come home, it will not change one word of Paul's teaching concerning evaluating ourselves.

Now this poster claims Paul's inspired text is mistaken, as new Christians cannot, according to this poster, evaluate themselves to see if they are "in the faith. I kid you now. This is totally off topic and complete gibberish.

Bible students should know that to rightly divide the Word of God, you do not interpret the New Covenant using Old Covenant rules. The proper rule of interpretation is to interpret the Old Covenant by the New Covenant rules, as the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant. You do use an...

1 Timothy 4:14 NASB Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery. Timothy's gift was of course teaching and encouraging, bestowed by God through the leading of his...

Yet another attempt to change the subject to me, and run from the fact Elders are elected by the members, and then confirmed by leaders.

No, it sounds like the gospel of grace. Why do you think otherwise? Salvation does NOT depend upon the person who wills or runs, but upon the One who has mercy. Romans 9:16 If we choose not to put our faith and commitment in Christ, then God will not credit our unbelief as righteousness, as...

Should we, as ambassadors of Christ get sidetracked into endless speculation about how God created the heavens and the earth, so that neither the Bible an accurate account of how the heavens and the earth came about nor the currently accepted theories of science are compromised. I believe the...

If we choose not to put our faith and commitment in Christ, then God will not credit our unbelief as righteousness, as He as already condemned it. But if we choose to put our faith and commitment in Christ, that will not save us, but only if God chooses to credit our faith and commitment as...

This claim seems, to me, to be wrong. Yes, God makes plans, and no plan of God can be thwarted. Yes God chooses individuals whose faith He has credited as righteousness. After we are born anew, as new creations, created for good works, we are to go forth and produce fruit. As a born anew...

Everything that happens, to born anew believers, and everybody else, is either caused or allowed by God. God allows things to happen by chance. That is why scripture says things happen by chance. God allows humans to sin, that is why He is just in punishing the lost for their choices.
