So again you are promoting universalism BF. Christ was very clear in His statement or do you not believe what He said? Joh 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself." Note The word "people" is not in the Greek text but is supplied for stylistic reasons...

BF you have just proven free will of man. metaphorically, to draw by inward power, lead, impel: John 6:44 (so in Greek also; as ἐπιθυμίας ... ἑλκουσης ἐπί ἡδονάς, Plato, Phaedr., p. 238 a.; ὑπό τῆς ἡδονῆς ἑλκόμενοι, Aelian h. a. 6, 31; likewise 4 Macc. 14:13; 15:8...

So again you are promoting universalism BF. You have to deny the word of God if you hold to your false religion. Joh 12:32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself. Was Christ lifted up BF? God has a love for His creation and desires all to come to repentance or do...

I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse: therefore choose life Deu_30:19 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose...

You hear in theological circles, especially from Calvinists, that “God is Absolutely Sovereign.” They say this so often that a person would think it was a scripture – it is not. In Calvinism, the idea of “Absolute Sovereignty” is that God planned, orchestrated, and causes absolutely everything...

So since you do not think you need anything but God to teach you then I would have to conclude that you do not have a bible as that is what men have written. Granted they are men led by the Holy Spirit but still just men. Plus the view that you have expressed would lead me to think you have...

So you just answered my question. You are under the false impression that you have all the truth and those that do not agree with your view must be wrong. It is truly sad to see someone so consumed by their own false views as you are. The reason that we do not agree is because some of the...

@KenH it seems you have missed what @Van said in his post. It is not the righteousness of man that we have to consider but the fact that God credits the man's faith as righteousness. Rom 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited...

Do you think that you have the correct understanding of God's word @Dave G? I ask because since not everyone agrees and as you say there can only be one correct understanding so you must think that everyone else is wrong. It is either that or you have to admit that your understanding is wrong.

I have wondered if those that claim God has to be "absolutely sovereign" think that those that do not make that claim think God is less than sovereign?

You keep saying that but the bible does not agree with you. We are saved because we believe/have faith in the risen Son. But lets say you are correct then why, since God wants all to come to faith, does He not give that faith to all people? Two options 1] God really does not want all to come...

Yes Adam fell and brought sin into the world but you are mistaken when you jump to the conclusion that that means that man cannot turn to God in faith and be saved. We have many verses that indicate that man can hear and respond to the various means that God has used to draw man to Himself. God...

I read your post several times an quite frankly I could not make heads nor tails out of it.

And as is usual for you you have completely misunderstood what the verse is saying BF. I have to wonder what your reading skill level is when you cannot even understand a clear sentence like this one. 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and...

BF I have seen you make some really of the wall comments but this has got to e the wildest one yet. "Faith in God is One of the weightier matters of the Law." You r false religion has so twisted your brain that you do not even know when you make illogical statements. Be saved through Faith...

I would put it down to: I have my mind made up do not confuse me with the truth.

BF are you blind or do you just ignore what is posted? How do you square your comment with what was posted? the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies his faith is credited as righteousness. Why do you think that means one has to accomplish works such as keep every single...

You continue to prove that you do not read the posts you comment on BF. Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. We were all judged as sinners/wicked before we were redeemed by God through our faith in Christ...

BF you just must start reading verses in context. Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

@Regulus from what you wrote I gather that you were saved when you trusted in Christ and at some later date you then came to trust the calvinist view of your salvation. As I see it the problem you have is not with calvinist's but with the calvinist view of salvation. Let me be clear I do not...
