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?

The epitaph given by his daughter is very good. I especially like the hymn by Richard Baxter, which she shared, saying her dad quoted this hymn. 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care whether I die or live: to love and serve thee is my share, and this thy grace must give. 2 Christ leads me through...

Reconcile these three passages. Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. James 2:18,22-24...

Our healing comes when we enter God's presence. Richard Baxter's hymn comes to mind: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care whether I die or live: to love and serve thee is my share, and this thy grace must give. 2 Christ leads me through no darker rooms than he went through before; he that into...

Acts 8:9-11,18-23 But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great. They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called...

I attended church with Todd Friel when he was first starting out. He was all about promoting Todd Friel and his radio program. He has a schtick, like the hucksters at CNN, FOX and MSNBC. His on air personality is purely manufactured to draw in viewers. I find him to be not genuine from a bit of...

Van, you've been shown your error by many on this site who have provide much scripture to prove your error. You imagine that there has been no support because you refuse to accept your error.

What's your argument, kyredneck? In Ephesians 2 it says we are saved by grace. Faith is a gift given after God makes us alive with Christ. The gift of faith is a working gift, not a static gift. Please clarify the struggle you are attempting to expose between Romans 2 and Romans 3.

Question: Did Jesus heal people before he atoned for the sins of his chosen? Next question: Did Jesus heal people who never knew his saving grace? Your entire assertion about " healing in his atonement" is something you have been taught by man, not taught by scripture. You have replaced the...

Steve, it seems you worship the sacrifice and ignore the one who gave his life for those he would redeem. The one who gave his life for those he chose to redeem also gave his redeemed the faith to believe. You take this gift and attempt to wield it as an amulet that magically does whatever you...

Dr Luke was obviously unneeded and Timothy's prescription to take a little wine for his stomach ailment was unnecessary. Steven, why don't you go live on a deserted island for 10 years and then return to us to report on your experience.

Pure speculation and twisting of scripture.

Van, your concept of faith is found in the figment of your imagination. We will not agree because I reject your biblically unsupported idea of faith.

LOL, you have resorted to your true nature where you become accuser. You show us your colors in full array. Thank you for exposing yourself to us.

What does Mark 9 say? I dare you to quote more than a sentence. Your prooftexting is no different than what a Muslim does. Please expound on the passage for us. Mark 9:1-43,45,47-50 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see...

Steven, it seems you wish to talk only to yourself. Clearly people disagree with your OP and now you want us to leave. The reality is that your demand is not going to happen. Instead, the onus lies on you to support the assertions you have made that, so far, have no legitimate source documents...

I would use Strong's, Vines and Unger's. Then I would read three or four different translations. Finally, I would do an inductive study where I write down my observations, my questions and my interpretation. After that I would go to PreceptAustin to read various commentaries and see what I may...

Father Tim Pelc tries to stay off social media when possible, but recently, it's become unavoidable. Thanks to the photos from his socially-distanced Holy Week service in Michigan, which involved a water gun full of Holy Water, Pelc has become a meme. The sudden internet popularity has come as...

This is your false claim. It is clear that you are viewing faith as a work that YOU generate by your own will. You then assert that God blesses the faith YOU generate by healing you and giving you wealth and prosperity. It is YOU who trusts in works. The fact that you have twisted this up is...

I dare you to quote a passage instead of a sentence in the Bible, Steven. Your shoddy use of scripture is obvious to all, which makes your arguments illegitimate. Context is important, otherwise you are misusing scripture.
