I explained in detail why. No need to be sarcastic. Peace to you

Salvational is conditional on being chosen by God for salvation before the foundation of the world. Everything that follows that brings that person into a right relationship with God is a work of God based on His will and His mercy. God gets all the glory That is biblical salvation Peace to you

Well, I disagree. Repentance and belief are actions that people do. We disagree on the cause of repentance and belief and how God’s actions occur with respect to repentance and belief. I believe God acts first, and the person responds with repentance and belief. You believe man acts first...

Romans 5:1-2 is speaking of enabling grace, not saving grace. We are justified by faith and have peace with God. Then, after we are justified and have peace with God, We have access to “the grace in which we stand”. This is called enabling grace. It is the same grace God told Paul was...

Happy Thanksgiving All. May God bless your families with warm fellowship. Peace to you

And this is, imo, the biggest problem with these debates. Folks claim someone is saying something that they are not saying, and not only not saying it but have denied saying it and obviously do not believe it, and yet the claim is made as a way to dismiss their opinion out of hand. Just once I...

If God choses people for salvation based on what they do… that is a works based salvation. If God choses specific people for salvation according to His purpose and His will (which is the biblical truth) and then so works in their lives to free them from their slavery to sin thereby allowing...

Again, thanks for sharing very thoughtful, scripture filled opinions on an important issue. Peace to you

The fashion meme reminds me of an 80’s commercial where Soviet women were modeling their current outfits. All the women were heavy and they all wore the same outfit.. sort of looked like a feed sack. The announcer would say “evening wear” and the model would walk the runway. Then “causal...

How many “free willers” does it take to change a light bulb? None because they don’t realize they are living in the dark. Peace to you

I have attempted to get you to consider what Jesus meant when He said those that sin are slaves to sin. If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. I have attempted to get you to consider what the Apostle Paul taught us in Romans when he very clearly stated we are slaves to sin (personified...

Greek, Roman Peace to you

All done, I think. Peace to you

There you go assuming what I think. I don’t think I’m special. Never said I thought I was special. God choses the elect based on His will, the kind intention of His purpose to show mercy. You, on the other hand, think you caught God’s attention by exercising your “free will” when so many...

That is exactly the difference in our understanding of salvation. You think the difference in whether someone accepts or rejects the gospel is human “free will”. I believe the difference is God. Peace to you

I do know what it means. Are you able to articulate what you believe “free will” means or not? For something to be “free” there must be no interference. I am free to dunk a basketball anytime I have the chance. I am limited by my natural ability to jump high enough. Gravity and natural...

I wasn’t talking to you Peace to you

It is clearly taught. Your inability to comprehend, or more likely, willful rejection to what is clearly taught, doesn’t mean it’s not clearly taught. Peace to you

You are describing human will, which is influenced by many factors. When a person is confronted with several alternatives, they will chose the option they desire the most at that moment in time. Can we agree on that? Peace to you

Are you able to articulate what you mean by “free will” or not? Do you believe the human will is “free” from any influence, whether internal or external? Peace to you
