So since you do not think you need anything but God to teach you then I would have to conclude that you do not have a bible as that is what men have written. Granted they are men led by the Holy Spirit but still just men. Plus the view that you have expressed would lead me to think you have...

So you just answered my question. You are under the false impression that you have all the truth and those that do not agree with your view must be wrong. It is truly sad to see someone so consumed by their own false views as you are. The reason that we do not agree is because some of the...

@KenH it seems you have missed what @Van said in his post. It is not the righteousness of man that we have to consider but the fact that God credits the man's faith as righteousness. Rom 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited...

Do you think that you have the correct understanding of God's word @Dave G? I ask because since not everyone agrees and as you say there can only be one correct understanding so you must think that everyone else is wrong. It is either that or you have to admit that your understanding is wrong.

I have wondered if those that claim God has to be "absolutely sovereign" think that those that do not make that claim think God is less than sovereign?

You keep saying that but the bible does not agree with you. We are saved because we believe/have faith in the risen Son. But lets say you are correct then why, since God wants all to come to faith, does He not give that faith to all people? Two options 1] God really does not want all to come...

Yes Adam fell and brought sin into the world but you are mistaken when you jump to the conclusion that that means that man cannot turn to God in faith and be saved. We have many verses that indicate that man can hear and respond to the various means that God has used to draw man to Himself. God...

I read your post several times an quite frankly I could not make heads nor tails out of it.

And as is usual for you you have completely misunderstood what the verse is saying BF. I have to wonder what your reading skill level is when you cannot even understand a clear sentence like this one. 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and...

BF I have seen you make some really of the wall comments but this has got to e the wildest one yet. "Faith in God is One of the weightier matters of the Law." You r false religion has so twisted your brain that you do not even know when you make illogical statements. Be saved through Faith...

I would put it down to: I have my mind made up do not confuse me with the truth.

BF are you blind or do you just ignore what is posted? How do you square your comment with what was posted? the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies his faith is credited as righteousness. Why do you think that means one has to accomplish works such as keep every single...

You continue to prove that you do not read the posts you comment on BF. Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. We were all judged as sinners/wicked before we were redeemed by God through our faith in Christ...

BF you just must start reading verses in context. Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

@Regulus from what you wrote I gather that you were saved when you trusted in Christ and at some later date you then came to trust the calvinist view of your salvation. As I see it the problem you have is not with calvinist's but with the calvinist view of salvation. Let me be clear I do not...

@David Lamb it is not a question of whether God is sovereign, He is, it is why do those of the C/R view require the word "absolute" stuck in front of sovereign? Do you think there is a difference between sovereign and absolute sovereign, does adding the word make God more sovereign?

God desires that all come to repentance and Christ will draw all to Himself and the Holy Spirit convicts the whole world of their sin. So we see that the whole Godhead is involved in our redemption. We know that the gospel is the power of God for our salvation and that God is gracious and will...

My home church is 4421 Km [2747.08 miles] away give or take 1 k so a tad hard making it on a weekly basis or yearly basis for that matter.. We listen to two or three services a week as can't attend here in person due to health. Other problem is we seem to be overrun with woke churches in our...

Still no clear biblical text to support your view. You are trusting more in a man's opinion rather than the word of God.

Why do you trust and post some man's opinion but fail to post or trust the word of God?
