Go ahead, Reynolds, cast the first stone. [emoji849]

Have you read John Piper's book, "The Coronavirus and Christ?" I think it points toward what AustinC is stating. Here's the audio version:

I was attempting to be kind. Sick is a better word. The vileness of this thread is indeed sickening.

Galatians 3:27-29 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to...

This thread just makes me sad.

So...God doesn't want humans to have life, liberty and pursue happiness? Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from him who can eat or who can have...

Are you arguing for slavery? Because I am not following your thinking other than you may be promoting racism. Please clarify as you are coming across in a way that I don't believe you intend to come across.

I couldn't care less about an organization. I care deeply about equity and justice for all. Sadly, our society still prejudges person's by the color of their skin and extends or retracts privileges based upon skin color. Therefore, as long as being black results in prejudism and fear...black...

Pursue life, liberty and happiness. Genesis 1:26-30 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on...

My basis is that all humans are made in the image of God with unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When one group of God's image bearers is in danger and God seeks them out, should all the others be jealous and think they don't matter just because the one group is...

Ah... Yeah, Tapatalk doesn't show polls. That makes sense.

I don't understand your question. Are you asking if we believe the sign/miraculous gifts have ceased? Are you asking if tongues are necessary for a person to be filled with the Spirit? The term, charismatic, is too broad, therefore I ask you to clarify.

Nope, not according to Paul. That passage in Romans 9 is clear. The children of the promise are from every nation, tribe and tongue.

He hesitated for awhile. Once he got to Canaan he lied about his wife, he got another woman pregnant and he struggled to believe God would provide through Sarai. Don't get me wrong, in my flesh I would do no better. But, God profoundly changed Abram after God walked through the split sacrifices...

Not if I take the covenants seriously as well as the prophesies of the promised one. If I have a dispensational theology that misunderstands the covenants of God, I will think Israel is national rather than spiritual. I'm not a dispensationalist.

God gave Abraham the faith to believe when God made a covenant with himself by walking between the heifer that had been cut in two. Abraham never conjured faith from his own willpower. In fact we see Abram making faithless decision after faithless decision until God walks through the sacrifice...

Let's have the Bible define who the promise is for and who God determines as the Israel of God. Romans 9:4-8 They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race...

Best sermon I have heard on Race, by Tony Evans. I encourage everyone to listen up.

You didn't come close to answering my question. Care to try again? I'm trying to figure out what the OP is saying. Is the OP saying that God, from the fall, onward to the cross, did not save his elect by grace through faith? If so, by what other means did God save someone?
