Your posts are way outside of Christian beliefs. The Cult group Bahai might believe all this jumble of error and falsehood. Does anyone here believe any of this?

Objection II. "God, being infinitely merciful, good to all, his tender mercy over all his works, taking no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but willing that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth, Ps 103:8; Ps 145:9; Ezek 33:11; 1 Tim 2:4; 2 Pet 3:9, —cannot by an...

This awful doctrine of Reprobation, as well as of the Election of men, ought, with great prudence and holy awe, to be taught in the church. 1. It hath been proved that the Holy Ghost hath plainly taught it in his word, Rom 9:11-22; Rom 11:1-7. 2. Every thing taught in the Scripture, lawfully...

II. It follows that certain particular persons have been, in God's decree, appointed to wrath, Mal 1:2-3; Rom 9:11-18; 1 Thess 5:9; Jude 4; were never favorably known by God, Matt 7:23; were never appointed or ordained to eternal life, Rev 13:8; Rev 17:8. —Nay, particular election of some...

Objection IV. "An unconditional unalterable election of particular persons of mankind to everlasting life, is inconsistent with the wisdom, goodness, and integrity of God." Answer 1. If God, in providence, bring particular persons of mankind to everlasting life, it is but absurd blasphemy to...

Objection I. "Such a scheme of election renders God a respecter of persons, contrary to Acts 10:34; Job 34:11,19; Deut 10:17-18; 2 Chron 19:7; Col 3:24-25; Rom 2:11; 1 Pet 1:17." Answer 1. It no more represents him as a respecter of persons than his actual saving of some men, and not of any...

I would think you would like this, because it is overloaded with scriptural references I am about the same way now, more with the biblical theology as it speaks toward our carrying out the Great Commission My reading is more on biblical theology now. The systematics are needful to stave off...

II. With respect to the reprobation of men, it may be observed, I. That God purposed to permit sin. 1. This the Scripture expressly affirms, Gen 50:20; Acts 2:23-24; Acts 4:27-28; hence, 2. He hath foretold multitudes of evil actions, Gen 15:16; Deut 31:16,20,29; Deut 32:6,15-21; Isa 1; Isa...

Objection IV. "An unconditional unalterable election of particular persons of mankind to everlasting life, is inconsistent with the wisdom, goodness, and integrity of God." Answer 1. If God, in providence, bring particular persons of mankind to everlasting life, it is but absurd blasphemy to...

Objection III. "An absolute, unconditional, and unchangeable election of particular persons to eternal happiness, enervates and renders altogether unprofitable the whole preaching and ordinances of the gospel, with all the good endeavors of mankind, and encourages them to sloth and wickedness...

4. Objection I. "Such a scheme of election renders God a respecter of persons, contrary to Acts 10:34; Job 34:11,19; Deut 10:17-18; 2 Chron 19:7; Col 3:24-25; Rom 2:11; 1 Pet 1:17." Answer 1. It no more represents him as a respecter of persons than his actual saving of some men, and not of any...

God's purpose of election is unchangeable,—none who are elected can fall short of the grace or glory decreed for them, and none that are not elected can obtain it. 1. No unforeseen reason of alteration can occur; nor can any change happen in his own love, power, wisdom, or equity, Acts 15:18...

He offers verse upon verse, on each topic. I have never seen as thorough a work that I can recall. You like scripture, just open any section and see, lol. the section on God understandably is massive! I did not start with that one, as I was afraid it would scare some of the Baptist brothers, who...

No, of course not. No one in their right mind would endorse him,lol I did not miss your point, but rather, I was making a counterpoint, that he was recognized by some to be a top scholar . Bart Ehrman has a PhD. He earned his Ph.D. degree in 1985 from Princeton Theological Seminary, where his...

What is meant by that term you use a "moderate Calvinist"?

God's election of these particular persons is absolute, proceeding wholly and only from his own infinitely wise and sovereign will and good pleasure; and altogether independent on their foreseen faith or good works. 1. The Scripture represents his election of them as merely depending on his...

1. Some men plainly appear as chosen to more than membership in the visible church. Before the Jewish nation was completely unchurched, some of them were a chosen generation, while others, according to the determination of God, stumbled at Jesus Christ, to their own everlasting ruin, 1 Pet...

It is not agreed among divines, how God considered men in his predestinating purpose, —Whether as creatable and fallible; or as to be created and to fall; or as created and fallen; or as converted; or as having persevered in holiness till their death. The absurdity of the two last views will...

Thank you for that information.

Yes, as they say, God is Giod and we are not!
