Again, this was given to show the obvious nature of result versus "condition." It was left out of the quote. Again, since you do not bother to actually pay attention to what your antagonist says, I have never denied that men repent, believe, or express faith. Which makes the insults even...

And I am arrogant? Not sure how you can draw this conclusion when, after all of these posts, you still don't even know what it is I believe. Not only has the Lord told me, but He has told everyone. But you have to get into the Word in order to hear Him. And you forget that is my position. As...

And, like with everything you have posted thus far, you would be wrong. Just as I am not a Catholic because I believe in the Trinity, I am not a Calvinist because I believe in the depravity of man. The fact that you do not know is why there is gross error, not only in your doctrine, but in...

I guess I need to explain each statement: the idea that because most people believe or embrace something makes a matter true was your argument. Mob Rules. I didn't attribute that to myself: this is stated based on yourposition: If you want to embrace a position because most do, okay. I can...

I'd have to disagree on the first issue, whether doctrine should be uniform or not. But, I'd agree with most of your view. Not sure if a post or two will make you and I of one mind, but it's worth a shot, right? ;) I'd say first, wouldn't it be wonderful if Catholics gave heed to the above...

I would just have to point out that such a system inevitably invites corruption. It's a "Who polices the Police" scenario. And one thing to keep in mind is that the Church established by Christ relied on revelation of knowledge previously veiled from man. Next, we consider a particular division...

Paul's ultimate plea wold be, I would think, this: 1 Corinthians 1:10 King James Version 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind...

Why not stick with the actual meaning of the words we are given? Instead of replacing them? I wonder if you would replace this word in the following verses: Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give G1325 thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Mat 5:31 It hath been said...

Agreed. God bless.

Yet not everyone who is born again may experience the blessing of the removal of drugs and alcohol in their lives as I did. Nor would I assume that no regenerate man could slip up and find himself getting stoned or high again. I would suggest refusal of the New Birth is part and parcel of...

Why do I always think of a pill bottle when I see that? Sorry, couldn't resist. I understand completely. I was asked to bring this past weekend's message due to my Pastor's voice being affected by allergies (we are assuming, he hasn't seen the right Doctor yet (please pray for him)). It is a...

I would throw in people's hearts can be hardened by poor commentary. ;) No reason to draw that conclusion. And the primary issue goes back to the fact that no man or woman can believe within their natural condition. To justify your position, we would have to conclude that everyone from a...

How does anything in this response address ... Could you provide a quote for "your faith has saved you?" I can only recall this phrase spoken of by the Lord, and this precedes regeneration, so it cannot be used to justify the works of man as contributing to salvation. God bless. I'm still...

There are other views, such as believers can fall into sin, as Scripture makes clear. It might be good for you to notice that our inheritance is in view. This does not preclude an extreme of getting angry with God and denying our salvation. 1 Peter 1:3-5 New American Standard Bible 3...

But some of are right in our conclusions. ;) God bless.

I am. Just didn't want anyone to be offended by it, lol. God bless.

Great. Now all you have to do is present where in the Bible you find that. It isn't there, because it would bring other teachings of Scripture into conflict with itself. Would you mind explaining what Paul means here ... 1 Corinthians 2:14 King James Version 14 But the natural man receiveth...

Perhaps you can find someone this is relevant to. Perhaps they will be interested in discussing it. Me, I'd prefer if you stuck with what I have said. No argument there. Now, if we can just remember that it is God that sends out the one that preaches. It is God that decided how men would be...

I agree. This is a consistent teaching I have been clear about in all my postings dealing with this issue. Why present it as though you teach me something new? Bravo. Agreed. And ...? ? This is a bit ridiculous. Try to stay on point: the issue is whether a natural man can understand the...

Note to reader: these responses are not in their original order. Because it isn't the power of God for salvation to unbelievers. It doesn't make believing a work of man that is a condition for salvation, and it doesn't negate Scripture's teaching that God is the One that brings about...
