Greetings on this wonderful Wednesday, Siverhair. Thank you again for your edification. I want you to know I will be gone for a couple of days if you reply. Like I said before, these are all true (obviously) due to Christ's Cosmic Triumph on the cross. These verses are referring to Christ's...

Greetings my brother, Silverhair. Thank you for your edification. I do not hold to any form of Supralapsariansim. That being a decree by God that is the logical order of selecting the children of wrath prior to a fall. I deny the Calvinist's logical deduction that God predestines some for...

Greetings JonC. Thank you for your wisdom on this issue. First, I freely concede that what I am to say is from logical biblical deduction. A position one holds with the caveat that it could be wrong since scripture does not explicitly state it. Although I do not think I am wrong. Second...

Greetings to all my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord. Under the traditional Reformed teaching of covenants, there is one covenant, that being the Covenant of Grace, under which there are various administrations. This one covenant in which all others are under would seem to assume that each...

We worship in spirit and in truth. I have no problem with how others worship as long as it is not sin. The problem starts when someone starts telling others how they should be worshiping. If its submission and thankfulness to the Lord, to each his own. Peace to you brothers

Greetings to you Tea. Grace and Hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. I agree, every person receives some light. I think this can be seen in the parable of the sower (to name one). I agree. I would also refer you to what I wrote for Silverhair in post #16. I also hold to particular and...

Greetings Silverhair. Thank you for providing your wisdom to me that I might grow in Christ. As you may or may not know from all my other posts this past year. I deny the strict dichotomy that one must be on the Providence side (Calvinism) or be on the Arminian side (faith as man's part). On...

Greetings to you Jesus Fan. Grace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. I think I could just as easily put this post in the other Reformed thread but I chose to put it in the Evangelical thread. As many know, I think both have their truths but then wander into error when closing...

Thank you Van for providing your wisdom to this thread. Of the three examples you give, I do concede to one that should give pause. The others, not so much. 1. When Abraham raised his knife, God says "now I know". This seems to be a reasonable verse that one must consider and reconcile. 2...

Greetings Van. I totally agree. The Scripture appears to be in unison here. 1. God our Savior “desires all men to be saved” (1Tit 2:4) 2. Therefore, Jesus came to be “the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” (1Tim 4:10). 3. Because God is the savior of all men, Jesus came to...

Greetings brothers. Peace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. @Van @Zaatar71 @JesusFan @JonC It seems to me, in the attempt to make distinctions, that God knows all things knowable. I say "all things knowable" to exclude human nonsense and irrationalism. A good example of what I...

Zaatar, Greetings to you brother. Hope and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ. Just my two cents regarding fault I find on both sides. On the one side I sometimes see a harsh scolding of Calvinism and anyone who holds to it. It reminds me of my father who was a former smoker. There is no critic...

Greetings to you Van. Long time no talk. Peace and Hope to you and yours. Since I am the poster that inquired into the possible notion that God's wrath might be considered to have passed over us. I'd like to know more of your thoughts about your "no". To help me understand exactly where you...

JonC, thank you for your gracious response to my post. May our Lord sharpen us through our interactions as iron sharpens iron. I will be jumping around the topics in your post and not taking them in order. I agree that these are the appropriate translations to English (to my layman...

Greetings to you JonC. Peace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. Just my musings about this debate. This word propitiation has been difficult for many, I am no exception. At one time I even looked at it as being like the word "satisfaction". I think your analysis above works well...

Greetings to you Dave. What a great day God has made! I would first like to thank my Calvinist brothers (all those that lean Calvinist) for their defense of God's sovereignty. All praise and glory to God. I do enjoy reading those of Calvinist mind, even though I am not a Calvinist proper...

Greetings again JesusFan. Hope and peace to you and yours. I'd like to challenge the notion that "but the truth is someone still has to serve and fulfill the death penalty". Is this really true regarding justice? If a man in Nebraska is convicted of a murder and is sentenced to death. But...

Greetings JesusFan. Blessings and hope to you for being a vessel of God. As I have stated before on this site. I believe that Jesus satisfied multiple intentions upon the cross. It is an error of all these theories to focus on just one intention. To be as basic as one can to express my view...

Greetings to you brother. Thank you for you thoughts that help sharpen me. I like to say, total depravity is not utter depravity. R.C. Sproul said something similar. In fact, Calvinism as I understand it is a spectrum (Hypers would deny this and demand strict adherence to their form). In...

Silverhair, praise be to God for this glorious day. I hope your day has been a good one. I noticed that you and @David Lamb were referring to 1Corinthians 2 and thought I might chime in uninvited. :Barefoot There are some things in which I fully agree with my Calvinist brothers on...and...
