You are correct that Romans 9:13 is not specifically speaking of salvation. It is speaking of God’s sovereignty. As you move further into the chapter, however, Paul clearly transitions from a general discussion of God’s sovereignty to those God elects (further explaining Romans 8) to know the...

We disagree. As far as salvation is concerned “faith/belief” is NOT mental assent to facts about Jesus (that is a well documented falsehood from a man named “Sandeman”) As far as salvation is concerned, Faith/belief is about a relationship with Christ, with the person receiving God Holy Spirit...

Well, I don’t necessarily disagree. I was only pointing out the Greek word “faith” involves more than simple mental assent to certain facts about Jesus, as the word “belief” implies. peace to you

For example, to say a person has “faith” (pistus) in Jesus Christ means the person’s outward actions are dictated by that faith. It doesn’t mean an inward mental assent to certain facts about Jesus. peace to you

The Greek “faith” (Pistus) has different meanings, according to the context. It is used as a noun, at times, to refer to the Christian “faith” once for all delivered. It is used as verb, denoting outward action. Specifically, it refers how one acts according to what they claim to believe. It...

I saw that. A strange decision, imo. If there is a conflict, it affects both. I also saw the Georgia Senate is investigating. Also the Georgia Bar Association could look at it. peace to you

Correct… The judge is NOT saying the essential elements of the crimes have been PROVEN, only that the accusations reflect the statute, though they do not contain sufficient details to even bring the case, much less prove beyond a reasonable doubt. For instance… I’m a prosecutor… I file charges...

Jesus, Himself made the comparison to the lifting of the serpent by Moses and His crucifixion, as @37818 has pointed out. I suspect that will be ver difficult to explain away, but I anticipate an explanation is coming. peace to you

The squashed charges dealt with violating the oath of office, which is very much a “core” charge in the indictment. Without “violating the oath of office”, DT is clearly operating under his authority as POTUS at that time. The next important decision will be the dismissal (or not) of Willis...

Wow!! That would be really useful in the BB peace to you

Just in…. Judge dismisses 6 charges against DT in Georgia case!!!! This has nothing to do with the upcoming decision to remove Willis (or not) from the case. Looks like it’s falling apart when judges look at it, as I predicted. Now, if only judges in NY and Washington had the same kind of...

Already forgotten :) peace to you

My blood sugar doesn’t like cheesecake:) peace to you

I understand your position and disagree. peace to you

Ok, just to be sure, you are claiming all of mankind has “free will” to choose God, but 100% of the time they choose not to? That seems to be a distinction without a difference, imo. peace to you

I agree God does not “force” us to disobey. We act according to our will, enslaved to sin, (Roman’s 6) Then we disagree concerning the definition of “free will”. To say we “disagree freely” is not the same as saying we are able to seek salvation freely, which is what the advocates of “free...

Scripture tells us people have human will that is enslaved to sin (Romans 6) and they certainly do whatever they want to do according to their sinful nature. What they do not want to do is obey God or come to God for salvation. (Romans 1) Consider these words…. “No one can say Jesus is Lord...

Just saying…. If you thought “this is the best wine I’ve ever drank”…. …. then your focus was off…. peace to you

I get it. It’s very surprising and distressing to see things posted by some folks. I will simply ask you to take some time to think it over. The best advice I ever got was to never make very important decisions when I was upset. You are appreciated here. You are an important voice here. You...

Lol. No, I’m the man off of the house. Every day when I come in from work, I put my foot down…. In front of the sink so I can do the dishes peace to you
