In John 6:44-45, have you ever pondered why it keeps stating terms like “all” and “no one” and “everyone” if it is “man’s choice” that makes the difference? Most that argue over these verses prefer to focus on the “no one can” opening phrase, but I was always more fascinated by the fact that...

This is disingenuous … “No one can come to Me [TOTAL INABILITY] unless the Father who sent Me [UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION] draws him [IRRESISTIBLE GRACE]; and I will raise him up on the last day [PRESERVATION OF SAINTS].” - John 6:44 … disagree with and reject my exegesis to your hearts content...

I think God set the salvific bar quite low (theologically speaking) … Romans 10:9-10 [NIV] If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is...

Yahweh.

Who is this “we”? ;) I am “amillennial“. :Cool

Let us hope so! It would be a wonderful thing for Jesus to return and fulfill the last of His promises. Personally, I plan on just keeping my lamp trimmed and full of oil so WHENEVER the last generation comes, Jesus will still find faith in the world (as much as it depends on me … which is very...

In a sense, I think it is. If a man (saved or pagan) labors 7 days a week, week after week without rest, their physical health will ultimately fail and their body will claim the “rest” that was both needed and owed. So keeping THE seventh day for rest is optional (a matter of conscience), but...

WHAT IS THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS? Have you ever tried to solve a math problem, where you didn't know where to start or what to do next? For example, when you see 3 + 8 x 2 – 6, what should you do first? Add 3 and 8 Multiply 8 and 2 Subtract 6 from 2 The order of operations is a set of rules...

I do not object to the concept. People just need to take it as a package deal. Sadly, we live in an age when people want to increase spending (on them) and lower taxes (on them) and also want the government to magically balance the budget by spending less (on everyone else) and raising taxes...

Are "you" (people in general) prepared to adjust expectations that your wage will also never increase unless you get a promotion? Or that your HOUSE will never appreciate (but will depreciate) in value? These are the flip side of the "inflation" coin. This is exactly how things worked under...

At the risk of being “Captain Obvious” … Adam did eat from the tree and Adam did not die and return to dust on the same day. So “Did God mis-speak?” Even if we apply the argument “God MEANT immediate SPIRITUAL death” … THAT is not what God said would happen, is it? Genesis 2:15-17 [YLT] And...

Like most churches, the church leadership was giving the pastor ulcers. ;)

The US Navy and USMC exists because of the Barbary Pirates … the right of the Barbary Coast States to capture Americans sailing in the Mediterranean as slaves because we were non-Muslim infidels. 1801 vs 2001 … some things never change.

I remember a quote from my mentor (although he was not the first person to say it, just the first person to say it to me): ”The first thing is to keep FIRST THINGS, first.” It seems to me that those issues that the Bible is less clear on, are clearly not FIRST THINGS. As the Moravians stated...
