I have to disagree with you on Omniscience. Either God knows all or He does not. God can choose to overlook somethings such as our sin {Act_17:30} but He still knows of our sin and also of our choice to trust in or reject Him.

@5 point Gillinist you have made the accusation that I "can be accurately described as a slanderer" so it is now upon you to show whom I have slandered and how I have done so. slander /slăn′dər/ noun Oral communication of false and malicious statements that damage the reputation of another. A...

That is your man-made view but the bible does not support your contention. One is only elect when they are in the "Elect One" Christ Jesus. The truth is the bible not your 4th century philosophy. The one truth you had in your post is that we are free moral agents.

Yes foreknown. God being Omniscient knows all those that will freely trust in His risen son. God knowing what will happen does not cause it to happen. If you doubt this then remember He also foreknows all the sin and evil that will happen.

Wow you really do have some weird views of God. Or could foreknowledge mean just what we see in scripture. "to have knowledge before hand" G4267 Which come from these two words: G4253 before & G1097 to know, understand, perceive, have knowledge of foreknowledge G4268 Which comes from...

You do notice that Philip pointed him to Jesus via scripture. Philip did not say well this is what I think scripture means and than change the words or meaning of words to fit his special understanding.

Care to point out the difference from a biblical perspective Z?

If you have to trust in man then you are trusting in the wrong thing.

God has done many things as we see in scripture. Starting with creation, conviction of our sin by the Holy Spirit, the preaching of the gospel message etc. This is something I have pointed out many times on here. Eternal life/salvation is the gift of God. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is...

It would seem you do not like that I point out the obvious errors of your particular view. According to the view that has been posted by many calvinists on here they have to be given faith so they can believe so logically it is not their faith is it? Then one has to question if that faith they...

You do realize than when speaking of God foreknowledge, exhaustive knowledge and Omniscience actually mean the same thing. Or perhaps you did not. Well since God, being Omniscient, foreknows all who will exist and we are told He loves the whole world and desires that they all come to repentance...

I do find it odd that for someone that keeps saying the bible is clear on various points that they are trying to make they then have to use multiple post from extra biblical sources to show us what they think is "so clear in the word of God".

How can you be so wrong about the word of God? Faith onto salvation is not a gift of God but rather is the requirement set for one to be saved. Further no one was elect prior to creation but again that is something that the calvinists continue to get wrong.

It is part of God's plan, those that have believed in His risen son are then part of the elect as they are then in the "elect One". I gave you a biblical view in the verses I posted but you seem to have missed that or perhaps you just chose to ignore it. Where the calvinist errors is that...

I read your post Z and then responded to it in post 97. Did you read it? Z when you start with the wrong premise than you do not have much of a chance to get anything right.

Odd that you disagree with the word of God Z and then make your foolish comments about what I post. "Union with Christ refers to the spiritual relationship between believers and Jesus Christ, which is central to Christian salvation. This union allows believers to share in the benefits of...

Z you have had many responses from scripture given to you but you just ignore them as they do not fit your calvinist view. Your confessional belief's are just man's attempt to support the particular view they hold. While I will use commentaries as a supplement to study they are not a...

Let me see now. Union with Christ through faith. Ya that seem quite biblical to me. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, Rom 10:13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." Rom 10:9...

You and BF have been answered from scripture many times but you just disagree with the word of God when it does not fit your calvinist twisting. The unfortunate truth is that many churches are not teaching truth but rather they are teaching views the basis of which is pagan philosophy. I am...

Give me your understanding of who the "elect" are and why they are the elect. With calvinists you can never be sure what words mean so it is necessary to ask for clarification. But you asked me to show from your post anything not taught in scripture. Well here it is Z. I can see where you...
