Now we are supposed to believe JesusFan does not recognize scripture, so he asked if the word of God is of human origin. I kid you not.

Yet another troll like post, from someone who seems to suffer from derangement syndrome.

God causes, ordains, predestines OR allows whatsoever comes to pass. God does not just cause, ordain or predestine whatsoever comes to pass. Exhaustive Determinism is unbiblical nonsense. Scripture teaches things happen by chance necessitating the allowance of chance occurrence.

Once again, a post trying to prevent discussion of the thread topic.

1) We are not placed into Christ when we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We are transferred into Christ, then undergo the washing of regeneration, causing us to be born anew, and only then are we sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit. 2) The indwelling of the Holy Spirit does not...

Yes, the Ministry staff reported directly to our Senior Pastor, but the Elder board could remove any staff for cause, but the board usually followed the Senior Pastor's recommendation. On the other hand the Senior Pastor could not hire staff without the approval of the board, but he made the...

If you want to pretend you are addressing the topic and not me, have at it. The Saints perseverance is because of God's preservation. So as we examine our lives, to see if we are "in the faith" we will find our efforts to follow Christ on His paths of righteousness. But what if we do not...

Yes, you are not of Gold presents the same idea, those not open to God are not of God and therefore do not hear his voice, whereas those of God are open to God's word and hear is voice. Same idea in both passages.

I see no reason why this should not be discussed in a new thread.

On, and on, posters addressing me and running from a sincere discussion of the doctrine. Note the T,U,L, and I of the TULIP are false doctrines.

The Saints perseverance is because of God's preservation. So as we examine our lives, to see if we are "in the faith" we will find our efforts to follow Christ on His paths of righteousness. But what if we do not? Then we should question our salvation, because as a person whose faith is...

The Greek preposition "ek" is sometimes used to indicate something is "out from" or arises from or comes from something. The question asked on another thread was "are those who comprise the group 'of My sheep' the same as the group "My sheep?" In John 10:26 Jesus say to unbelievers, "you are...

Yes, Mr. Trump's stated method of getting into heaven, was discouraging to me as well. Once saved, then yes our good deeds, like trying to stop of loss of life in the war, might merit some reward, but until God chooses or has chosen to transfer Mr Trump spiritually into Christ, all Mr. Trump's...

1) I said our righteousness arises from God crediting our faith and on that basis, transferring us into Christ spiritually. That is how we become spiritually "in Christ." 2) Once in Christ, spiritually within Christ, we undergo the washing of regeneration, which justifies us and thus made...

Yet another deflection, addressing me and not the correct presentation of the word of God. 1) The people rejecting Christ were not My sheep who are already saved, but were sheep without a shepherd. The unstudied claim everyone at conception is already a goat or a sheep is pure malarkey...

The above claims are complete baloney, totally made up, invented claims, found no where in scripture. 1) The people rejecting Christ were not My sheep, but were sheep without a shepherd. The unstudied claim everyone at conception is already a goat or a sheep is pure malarkey. People are...

Re-posted to edit an error, "of the faith" should read "in the faith." The Saints perseverance is because of God's preservation. So as we examine our lives, to see if we are "in the faith" we will find our efforts to follow Christ on His paths of righteousness. But what if we do not? Then we...

I see we are on page 5 in discussing whether it is ok to use the NKJV. I believe we should not use any English translation to the exclusion of other English translations. But I do have a primary study bible, now the NASB, but when engaging in study of any particular verse, I compare the NASB...

Sorry, but you need to start a new thread to address this issue. We are talking about the "P" of the TULIP

One last post on the "P" of the TULIP. The Saints perseverance is because of God's preservation. So as we examine our lives, to see if we are "of the faith" we will find our efforts to follow Christ on His paths of righteousness. But what if we do not? Then we should question our salvation...
