I've read Calvin's commentary and he was solid, I learned much from him in my early years. He was just wrong on what we were predestined and chosen for. Calvin gets a bad wrap for predestination, but his faith was in Christ and I agree with Spurgeon that he may be so close to the Throne of...

It's unfathomable for the Calvinist to even consider the loss of salvation, but here in Ezekiel 33:12-20 that is exactly what we have. The righteous turning from their righteousness. It has nothing to do with works but the faith they no longer have which is wickedness.

Yes, I agree and He has one now in Israel. But these that God called on Ezekiel to intervene in His name were not of that remnant. God was pleading for salvation with these.

I guess it would depend on if in fact that oil was on the black market and reaching the terrorist's. I heard Trump say in an interview "we will keep the oil."

Sounds like a plea to turn to repentance to me, or face the consequnces. But you will see it your way and I will see it mine according to the God we project from Scripture.

This is the God I know and serve. Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" The death here God is...

God is long suffering with those who will receive his wrath in the end, not willing that any should perish. It hurts God to see his greatest creation receive His wrath. This is the God Calvin, Gill, Bonar, Philpot, and host of others could not see!

In those verses Paul is speaking of man who find fault with God in the predicament they find themselves in against God. Paul tells them who do you think you are blaming God, saying why has God created me in this fashion? Paul goes on the tell them that it is necessary for God to demonstrate...

Bonar is so perverted in his thoughts of who God is that he can't see the God that grants righteousness to "whosoever will" believe Him. And so it is with those old dead men who could only picture a God who reserves the right to send anyone He chooses to Hell just be cause He can.

Proverbs 14:12 is a fact that man has many ways of salvation, as the Pharisees of old added to the Law of God. But those ways lead to death, eternal separation from God. There is only one way to life and few there be that find it. The only way is by grace through faith in "Jesus Christ and...

God spoke the universe into existence, not too hard for the Creator. Bringing the Christ into the world took a lot of fuss, it involved humans, not so easy.

I think the KJV translators recognized the presence of deity, and acknowledged it.

In John 4:24 the KJV renders "God is a Spirit," capitol S. " God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

The human spirit of Christ has always been interesting to me. The spirit of man is the means of contact and communication from God to man, or that's the way I understand it. Paul said the Holy Spirit bears witness to our spirit that we are the sons of God. I can't help but to believe the...

There is no denomination on earth any closer to the truth of Scripture that the Baptists. The Scripture says to "study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the words of truth." We have our differences on what the truth actually is, but we all...

I think it is very misleading and inappropriate to say Mary is the Mother of God. There is nothing that sounds right about that. Any thoughts taken from that statement could only lead to heresy.

Walter, are you saying Mary was anything other than blessed and favored by the Lord being chosen to give birth to the Savior of world? If she is more than this show us in Scripture. Not your magnifying of her, but the magnifying by the Word of God.

I know you don't claim to be a Calvinist, K but you do claim the 5 pts. of Calvinism. You look at 2 Thes. 2:13 and see God appointing/selecting man for salvation, but that's not what Paul said, and neither did he say that in Eph. 1 or Rom. 8. He said that God has from the beginning chosen...

Yea, for the Calvinist I see where he would think that's a bold statement.

I think you answered your own question.
