Why not believe 2 Peter 3:12: NASB looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! Here is the NET bible footnote: Or possibly, “striving for,” but the meaning “hasten” for σπουδάζω...

Folks, just read Romans 4:4-5. If our faith was good enough to merit salvation, our salvation would be one of works, but if we depend upon God's grace to save us, and own up to deserving the realm of darkness, that is a different kettle of fish. All these phony references to "real faith," or...

Why do you continue to make up malarkey and attribute it to me. You Sir, have nothing to say on the topic, but plenty of malice for me. I say our faith is never "good enough" and you claim I said our faith must be good enough. Or how about your claim I say God needs time to evaluate our...

I never said or suggested by you say I said. That means you are posting falsehoods to slander me. I addressed it is your view that our faith must be "good enough" to be credited, the opposite of what I said. You are simply wasting my time with malarkey. God knows our thoughts. How many of...

Sir, it is pointless to continue, you are just restating the same arguments I have addressed many times. For example you mention those who say that Tasso is in the middle voice. Which just ignores what I said. There is nothing wrong with translating tasso as appoint, but to claim it means...

Ever notice how often Calvinist charge me with changing scripture. Ever notice how Demoncrats charge others with what they have been doing. Mr. Trump is charged with weaponizing the DOJ. :) Van is charged with altering the meaning of scripture. :) Here is a short list: No one seeks after...

What the verse does say: as many as "accepted the direction to eternal life believed." The attempt to change the definition of "tasso" to unilateral appointment demonstrates a refusal to believe what has been written. The "direction" was spoken to or sown upon the Gentiles, thus "Tasso" is in...

Typical diversionary post. Nothing acknowledging agreement or specific disagreement, just another ignore what was said post. To be "of God" is to be of the fields white for harvest. Fallen folks who have the capacity to hear and heed God's word, whereas those not "of God" have closed minds...

One "tell" concerning posters is whether or not they consistently use logical fallacies in argumentation, such as "against the person" rather than against the issues of their opponent. What do you suppose this poster thinks is his "real faith?" It looks to me like a faith that has all the...

Will you say you believe no one is saved unless God credits their faith as righteousness? Folks we know how all those who believe in "unconditional election" would answer the question, they would say NO, since according to their doctrine of total spiritual inability the lost are unable to seek...

Yet another tangent, to be "of God" is to of the fields white for harvest. Fallen folks who have the capacity to hear and heed God's word, whereas those not "of God" have closed minds. If you believe falsehood is true, then the truth will look like falsehood. John 8:47 the "of" translates...

(John 16:7-11 NKJV) 7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9...

Romans 4:5 NASB But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, Folks, some might think Abraham was credited with righteousness, but scripture is clear, it is his faith, and not himself, that was...

First, folks, note that this poster asks questions but does not answer them. Next he implies I alter the meaning of scripture. Next he implies God does not know whether our faith should be credited as righteousness, but using his phrase "real faith." Next he implies being saved through...

Will you say you believe no one is saved unless God credits their faith as righteousness? Folks we know how all those who believe in "unconditional election" would answer the question, they would say NO, since according to their doctrine of total spiritual inability the lost are unable to seek...

1. Luke 13:24 demonstrates man, in his depraved fallen state, has the ability to seek God without the compulsion or enablement of irresistible grace. 2. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 teaches we are chosen for salvation through faith in the truth, thus our individual election is conditional. 3. 1...

Time and again, differing posters make or seem to make this claim, we, those saved, became righteous because God imputed or declared or credited as as righteous. I believe this view is absolutely bogus. Let us consider this view from scripture. Romans 4:6 NASB just as David also speaks of...

Hi, I am always glad to welcome Baptists with diverse views. Some may differ from my views, some may coincide. Many of the posters on this board lean to Calvinism, but others lean toward Arminianism, and a few hold views that share some of views from both camps, but also hold differing view...

More nonsense, more diversion from the fact people are individually chosen for salvation during their physical lifetime, not before creation. Now he does not, or says he does not, believe God individually chooses who will be saved. I kid you not... God does not impute the righteousness of...

I answer questions, rather than change the subject, or engage in diversion. Did anyone say the OT saints were NOT accepted through credited faith? Nope. Did he say why the OT saints did not enter heaven when they physically died? Nope People are individually chosen for salvation during...
