We argued just a few days ago on water baptism. I can remember a few years ago several arguments on the Lord's Supper. At least find something new to disagree on.

I don't believe what the RCC believes, that's why I'm a Protester. How many times have we argued this?

I accept the words of Christ, it's the words of the RCC that Charlie rejects.

Before the foundation of the world God through His foreknowledge knew who would believe and He reached out to them in Mercy and Grace. Christ did the same when He was here on earth. He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, but we can see from the Gospels He searched out the Gentiles who...

I'll cut it off right here, Cathode. I don't think either of us want this endless argument to start up again.

We were talking about what sends man to hell who has never heard of Christ, who has no knowledge of Him. Before Christ came man was saved by looking forward to the coming Christ through the Sacrificial System of the Law. The animal sacrifice was the means for the forgiveness of sins with...

Jesus said the publican in the temple beat upon his breast and said, "God be merciful to me a sinner." He said that publican went to his house justified.

Rom. 1:19-20 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are...

Not trying to start an argument, I think we've all had enough of that lately. But to answer your question, most non-Calvinists look at the end result of TULIP and see God choosing an Elect group of individuals for salvation and leaving the rest to die/perish in their sins. God didn't die for...

I once heard a great preacher say that the most brilliant scholar who is unsaved has no more knowledge of God than a 6 years old child. He went on to say that the 6 year old most likely had more knowledge of God being that his mind is not cluttered by false beliefs as the unsaved scholar. The...

He could have adopted us by living a good moral life. He could have adopted us by Church membership. He could have adopted us by random choice. He could have adopted us by by our good outweighing our bad. But He chose to adopt us by Jesus Christ according to His good pleasure.

I look at it as His mercy being the trigger, and His grace as the powder and lead. Mercy and Grace work together and cannot be separated. Drop either one and it's not complete.

Paul used both words to express God's salvation. It seems that according to His Mercy He justifies us by His Grace. Titus 3:5-7 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he...

If we believe the Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that He is the author of all Scripture, then we know who He wants us to follow by instruction in these last days. 1 Cor. 11:1 "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." The Holy Spirit gave the Apostle Paul about 1/3...

Have you put forth any effort whatsoever to understand what I've said in the above post?

Let's go to the verse that concerns predestination and according to His good pleasure. Eph. 1:5 "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will," You will say that God's sovereignty has chosen who will be saved...

Just hear me out and see if you get it. In Dan. 4:35 Nebuchadnezzar is speaking of what God did to show him that he may be the greatest of all kings on the earth, but he is not above the Lord God. God took his kingdom from him and then gave it back, nothing could stop God from doing this...

Of Course I do, but I believe them in the context in which they are written. Pick one out and let's discuss it! Not going through all of them.

Regardless of how we view Rom. 10:13, God is bound by promise to His Word. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." It is often said that God owes us nothing, yes He does, He owes us the keeping of His Word. God cannot go back on His Word, He is not sovereign to...

We can try that if you like. It's always the non-calvinists that give explanation whereas the Calvinists will say, "that's the sovereignty of God, He can do whatever He desires. The main problem is our definition of God's sovereignty. That is what we should be discussing.
