Well, I do believe the “free grace” gospel, as I understand it, is focused on the person “making a decision” for Jesus. It is focused more on the person and what they do. Jesus is usually presented as waiting diligently for any who will respond, so He has an opportunity to intervene at their...

You are completely wrong about this passage. It confirms “lordship salvation” with the phrase “those that do the will of My Father…” This passage illustrates “salvation” is about being in a right relationship with God (as evidenced by Jesus saying “depart from Me, I never KNEW you”) Lordship...

I think your definition of the gospel is out of focus. Paul gave what was of “first importance” concerning the gospel in 1 Corinthians. That is… Jesus died for our sins according to the scripture Jesus was buried, according to the scripture Jesus rose from the dead, according to the...

double post Peace to you

And to you as well Not sure the point you are making here. Salvation is distinct from the proclamation of the gospel, but cannot be secured without it. Salvation is being in a right relationship with God, free from the wrath and condemnation for all without such a relationship. I haven’t...

In your parable, the man staked to the ground and in chains has no desire to change his condition, regardless of the King’s offer. He has already rejected the king, which is why he is in chains. When God Holy Spirit releases the man from his chains, he recognizes the estate he was in and the...

Thanks for sharing. It is just so tragic the adults did not react to the warnings issued. The threat must be so constant (like living in Florida with hurricanes) that folks just ignore the warnings, thinking it won’t happen to them. Peace to you

God is Omniscient. He knows everything before it occurs. Is it a Bona Fide offer of salvation to instruct His followers to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth, knowing beforehand who will accept and who will reject? Peace to you

You said in your very first sentence in your very first post on this thread. So, again, Please provide an example of “Calvinists” that hold God the Father looked upon Jesus as if He were a sinner instead of bearing the sins of the elect. Peace to you

That is NOT what Lordship Salvation teaches. @JesusFan gave a well stated definition in the OP. Peace to you

I asked you before to give an example of “Calvinists” that hold Jesus was a sinner (as you stated Calvinists believe) instead of bearing our sins on the cross. I guess I’ll ask, with unbounded optimism, for you that give an example of Calvinists that don’t hold to the “inseparable” element of...

Hey, come on man!! Give me some memes!!! Peace to you

Senator Schumer is scared to death that AOC will challenge him in the next primary, knowing he would likely lose to her. As always, politicians playing politics. Lying well (or telling partial truths) takes practice. Peace to you

Very nice Peace to you

As I understand it, yes. Jesus redeemed everything He assumed in the incarnation, that includes our human nature. Peace to you

It has to do with covenant theology, as I understand it. Reformed hold to covenant theology. I haven’t studied Calvin, but am aware of the debate surrounding the 5 points. Peace to you

Thank you for your kind words. You are far more knowledgeable than I about connecting the OT prophecies to the modern world. I tend to see much of the prophecy as symbolic, not literal. The “144000” for instance, I see as symbolic of a number from each tribe of Israel that is too high to...

I’m glad we both agree to base our beliefs on scripture So, applying your literal interpretation to Revelation, you will clearly understand that the mention of the “1000 year reign” was a reward for those faithful that were martyred during the great tribulation (they will reign “with Christ”...

Matthew 24-25 is definitive. Jesus comes (2nd coming) AFTER the great tribulation. His angels collect the elect from the earth (consistent with Paul’s statement we rise into the air), then comes the great throne judgment. There is no pre-trib rapture. There is no re-establishment of national...

Interesting. I have considered this for some time. That is, did Jesus use the power of God Holy Spirit, rather than His own divine power (kenosis), to perform all His miracles? Scripture attributes the miracles to Jesus. Does Jesus have two distinct natures… Divine and human? Peace to you
