The Greek word, huiothesia (G5206) appears about 5 times in the New Testament writings of Paul. The word, translated usually as adoption, is found in these verses: Romans 8:15, Romans 8:23, Romans 9:4, Galatians 4:6, and Ephesians 1:5. The meaning of the Greek word as used in the New Testament...

Yes, just how could Christ die for us, while we were yet sinners, if no charge can be brought against the elect, those of us in Christ? Answer - we were not yet "Elect" when Christ died for us, we only became elect when God transferred us spiritually into Christ, Colossians 1:13. Calvinism...

Unless Christ or his inspired NT writers provided the direction for born anew believers, the Old Covenant Laws, such as the Law of Moses, have been superseded and are no longer applicable to born anew believers. The purpose of the Law was to guide us to Christ, the purpose of the Law of Liberty...

Predestination is a False Doctrine. Calvinism's false doctrine is that Ephesians 1:4 teaches individuals (foreseen before they were created) were individually chosen for salvation before creation. This is precluded by 1 Peter 2:9-10 which says we once were not a people chosen for his own...

Yes, if individuals were in fact "elected (chosen individually for salvation) before creation, they would not be condemned for unbelief, and would never have been children of wrath,

1. Calvinism is Fatalistic. Calvinism promotes fatalism and resignation. In reality, Calvinists believe everything has been predestined, you were either saved or damned from eternity for eternity, and there is nothing you can do to alter that outcome for yourself or your loved ones. 2...

How does scripture actually present the order of divine actions accomplishing individual salvation in Christ? 1) God provides the revelation in the form of the gospel 2) The person's heart has not been hardened, thus they hear and respond to the draw of the gospel 3) God, who knows their...

Let us consider various translations of Acts 13:48: KJV = ordained NKJV = appointed LEB = designated TLB = wanted NOG = prepared TLV = inscribed WE = before chosen Clearly those who believe individuals were chosen for salvation individually before creation read into this verse a prior election...

Ah, the ol victory in the unreferenced past routine once again from the springs without water posters. It never ends folks, now we get the ol "you made it up" routine just like what was claimed about God granting something can mean God allowing something. They claimed that was made up too...

Here is an example of a study result. Say you are going to study a verse which has "faith" in it. And your comparison study bible is the NIV. How does the NIV translate the Greek word "pistis?" Out of about 242 uses in the NT, the NIV goes with "faith" about 221 times in the NIV. Other...

Here we see another mindless "taint so" post, addressing my supposed flaws rather than the topic. Note not one word concerning the fact the elect were once not a people and had not received mercy. Thus no individual could be elected before creation.

Yet another mindless "taint so" post, devoid of any edifying content from scripture. Note the number of specific references to scripture: Predestination is a False Doctrine. Calvinism's false doctrine is that Ephesians 1:4 teaches individuals (foreseen before they were created) were...

Note not one word concerning the fact the elect were once not a people and had not received mercy. Thus no individual could be elected before creation.

Yet another mindless taint so post, devoid of any context. If you believe the future is predetermined, you can choose to life less carefully than if you believe wise living may positively impact others. And if you deny Calvinism is a relic of the Dark ages, there is nothing more that can be...

I am not sure what you are asking. If you purchase (or already own) an Exhaustive Concordance for your primary study bible (say the KJV in your case) then if you refer to the original language word, the concordance will list all the different words used to translate that original language word...

Pray like this: Pray to the Father and recognize His authority. Ask for an understanding of His will, and the willingness to follow. Ask only for what you need, and the wisdom to avoid needless desires. Forgive anyone you think has sinned against you, and ask for forgiveness for your...

A partial STUDY of the LAW of LIBERTY IN MATTHEW Always do right, even with the little things. (Matt. 3:15) Study the Word of God, live by it. (Matt. 4:4) Do not take actions that depend on God’s action to have a good result, do not put God to the test. (Matt. 4:7) Worship God and...
