How many Squirrels have you led to Christ? "Every creature" means "every creature", right. ;)

Everyone rejects belief ... otherwise God would not need to DRAW. An "invite" would have been enough. Luke 14:16-24 [NKJV] 16 Then He said to him, "A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, 17 "and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, 'Come, for all...

Unconditional Election: [Romans 9:10-18 NKJV] 10 And not only [this], but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, [even] by our father Isaac 11 (for [the children] not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works...

Matthew 24:36-44 [ESV] 36 "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying...

You are correct about ‘prevenient grace’. Mr Wesley, whose work I admire, believed that God’s the solution to the problem of a world in which everyone is born in trouble is a blanket of ‘pre-salvation’ grace to level the playing field for all humanity and restore people to a neutral “free will”...

Not “cannot” but “will not”. A Lion is physically capable of eating leaves and berries, but it is not in the nature of a Lion to desire to be a herbivore. Therefore a lion freely chooses to kill and eat meat. God asks nothing of man that is beyond our physical abilities. However, it is not...

I make no such claim, so it is not mine to prove. Here is my claim … I claim that God’s offer is made to all: Romans 10:5-17 [ESV] 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness based...

Which of the 5 points says that it is the will of God that people perish?

Paul was a great man, but he was not God. God removes the heart of stone and replaces it with a heart of flesh. God opened the heart of Lydia to hear the words of Paul.

How will “god” justify himself for sending billions to Hell because they made one wrong choice about believing a story that happened 2000 years ago compared to all the evil that “god” permits every day around them? [I used “god” instead of “God” because FREE WILL means that “god” has no more...

In the parable of the sower, the SEED (gospel) is broadcast to everyone within reach, but most will not allow it to take root (reject God’s offer). Only in the GOOD SOIL can the seed (gospel) grow to bear the fruit of new life (salvation). As any farmer or gardener can tell you, it is the...

The title of the topic is “Reasons Why Professed Christians Fail To See or Grasp The Doctrines Of Grace”, and while I understand the intention … if we are going to be honest … I have never actually met very many people that fail to “grasp” the Doctrines of Grace. I mean, there is some confusion...

Who is responsible for Joseph being in Egypt to save many lives (according to Genesis 50:20)? I suspect that you have created a false dichotomy … it is not “either/or”.

Umm ... Thomas Jefferson was a deist that denied all miracles (including the Virgin Birth and Resurrection). Jefferson even created his own bible excising all that miracle nonsense from it. So quite a "champion" you have selected for your cause. Yes, I can see the similarities between the...

Like Lydia, whose heart God opened to receive the words about to be preached? [Acts 16:14] ... or more like "as many as were appointed to eternal life believed"? [Acts 13:48] Because ultimately, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will...

No, they acknowledged the fall of man (which I later learned even Classic Arminians do) but adopted the Wesleyan “prevenient grace” solution for how God draws all men from helplessness to “free will” to choose or reject His offer. My issue was that it contradicted my personal salvation...

I do. I arrived at 4 of the points as an atheist attending a Wesleyan Holiness church and reading the Bible to try and understand this whole Christianity thing … so whatever Augustine or John might have discovered, I doubt it was taught from the pulpit of the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana).

I agree that there is nothing "wrong" with them ... however, nobody I know denies that Shakespeare is in "archaic" and not "modern" English and the Elizabethan words are not commonly used except at the Renaissance Festival. In contrast, Rick claimed those words were archaic (which they are) and...

Just for fun I did a search for this book. I discovered that I could buy the paperback from Walmart. I found a 2009 discussion (review) of it from a KJVO defender. It was interesting what he (I assume it was a "he", online names make gender hard to identify) chose to quote from your book and...

The issue is you have created two paths for legal immigration … a 10 year official legal process to get permission or overstay a tourist visa and wait 3 months.
