Eight years later, Calvin was still defending himself against criticism and still advocating the burning of heretics. In a 1561 letter to the Marquis de Poet, high chamberlain to the King of Navarre, Calvin advises sternly: Do not fail to rid the country of those zealous scoundrels who stir up...

Heb_6:4-6 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened,G5461 (G5685) {cf Heb_10:32; Eph_1:18; 2Ti_1:10 } [to enlighten, spiritually, imbue with saving knowledge] {and who} have tasted G1089 (G5666) the heavenly gift, {cf Heb_2:9; 1Pe_2:3; Mat_16:28; Joh_8:52}...

I am curious as to how anyone that God has, according to calvinism, been predestined to be on the highway to heaven can at any time realistically have been on the highway to hell?

It is not how long or how often you pray but why you pray that matters. God looks at the intent of the heart not the words or how long one prays. Look what we see in scripture: Luk 18:10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. Luk 18:11 The...

If the bear is that close it just means he wants pepper on his food.:) If the bear is angry pepper spray may slow him down but will not stop him. Spray is only good to about 15 feet, a bear runs at 35 miles an hour. By the time he knows he has been sprayed he is on you. Even if he then ran away...

Require a training course, police check etc. And it is getting worse. Rifles do not kill, it is the nut behind the rifle that does. We do not have a right to bear arms as you do in the states.

That was my rifle of choice. I had several but that was the one I used most often. Would not call it a plinking rifle. Here in Alberta you want something with good stopping power as we have grizzly bears to contend with. He was a young radical that went to far and now will pay the price.

I have to disagree with the trained shooter view. A trained shooter would know to aim for the mass, the chest. The fact that Charlie was hit in the neck shows that the person was not a good shooter. If you watch the video you see the Charlie was leaning back and forth so to aim for the neck or...

Thank you EFW. That is a song for our time.

Your post would mean that you hold to universalism. But since we know that is not a biblical view then we should look to the bible to find the truth What does the bible tell us about whom Christ died for? 1Jn 2:2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also...

You should take your own advice as it is clear that you have missed the truths contained there in.

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Rom 10:10 for...

What you mean is when I agree with your failed interpretation. That's not going to happen. But I do see that you do like to ignore a great many things such as the pagan roots of the religion you hold to.

Who were saved? Not Israel?

Election is for those that have heard and believed and they are predestined to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself. That you can not even understand that points to your lack of ability to read with comprehension. But I do know why you ignore these truths. It would blowup your...

So I take it that you are afraid of what you will find so you choose to stick your head in the sand. It would seem the truth is more that you can bear.

First off Eze 36 is not about salvation as you would know if you actually studied the verses. And need I remind you I pointed out to you already. Since faith is not a work but is a required condition for one's salvation you just proven that you do not know or understand the bible. Eph 2:8...

I directly answered your post you just do not like the answer that comes from actually reading the verses in question. Then you are denying the word of God @Zaatar71. Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, 1] after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation the invitation 2] having...

NO BF that is not what the bible teaches and if you actually studied and believed the bible then you would know that. Salvation is conditional on one's faith in God. And if you had actually read what I posted you would also know that but as usual you do not read posts. You are being willfully...

That is what the bible teaches BF. Why do you dance around the truth so much BF. Is it that hard for you to just trust what God has said? Rom 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the...
