It is historic fact except that the views were there before Augustine, and they are not pagan. Other than that, you are entirely correct.

It is indeed the Calvinist take on Romans 3:11, and it is also the Biblical one. Had the Holy Spirit wished the verse to mean that no one seeks God excepting sometimes, He would have said so. The lost should indeed strive to enter the kingdom, but as Romans 3:11 says, they do not until it's...

Dr. Martyn Loyd-Jones is well-known for his long verse-by-verse expositions on Romans and Ephesians, but his series on 'Spiritual Depression' is rightly famous. Get the book if you can. It will bless your hearts.

I am so sorry to hear that! But with God nothing shall be impossible. I'm praying right now.

Not dishonest at all. That is what I wrote Your problem is that, 'There is none righteous, no, not one.' Therefore, if the wicked are cast out, there will be no one in heaven. Fortunately God 'loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.' 'By His wounds we are healed.'...

Supporters of the A.V. (KJV) make great play on the fact that some modern translations omit references to the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, as indeed they do (except the N.K.J.V.). The most frequently cited verse is 1Tim 3:16, though there are several others. Less well known is that there...

You just make stuff up as you go along. It was I who brought Rev. 21:27 into the discussion. But I still say that Christ died for the ungodly, and God justifies them.

One of us is all over the place, but if you search the Scriptures, you'll find it's you. Everyone else knows that. You never provide passages. Your posts are full of pathetic snidies. You shift your ground constantly, but you can never find a place to stand. It is easy to say, step back and...

I am a little surprised by your use of the word 'merely' here. If Christ had not helped the seed of Abraham, no one would have been saved. The NKJV makes it very clear in verses 14-18, that Christ did indeed take upon Himself our nature. 'Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh...

'...Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved' (Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13). There are no ifs and no buts there. No one who has repented of his sins and trusted in Christ for salvation will be turned away (John 6:37). When a preacher calls on people to trust in Christ, he should never...

@JonC, Once again, you are switching - away from Scripture alone, to your 'Classic View.' Now what do you want? Do you want to discuss what the Scriptures say or do you want to plough through the ECFs and others again? I will repeat what I wrote earlier: Now then. What will prove PSA in...

'Nuff said.

I think you are misunderstanding the timeline of Luke 13:24ff. Look at verse 24 in the light of verse 25, and you will hopefully get the idea. In fact our Lord promises that everyone who seeks, finds etc. (Matt. 7:7-11). The only qualification is that the verbs are in the Present tense, which...

When you claim that you alone have the true version A of the truth and that far better and greater men than you or I believe versions B,C,D or E, then you are showing appalling arrogance and someone has to challenge you on it. Now then. What will prove PSA in your eyes? It seems to me that...

I don't see how these "most theologians" can recognize that. Hebrews 8:10-12. 'For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they shall be My...

Your arrogance is almost beyond belief! Originally you claimed you were following God's words and chided us all for not believing the Bible. When it was pointed out to you that God's word supports PSA, you claimed to be following the ECFs. When it was shown that the ECFs mostly believed in...

Very good! Also, when, towards the end of his life when he was trying to bring comfort to a dying believer troubled by his sense of sinfulness, and fearful of judgment, Anselm counselled him to cry out to God, '"Lord, I place the death of Your Lord Jesus Christ between me and Thy judgment; in...

So you think, and so did the Galatians. Yet Paul says to them, "You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?" (Gal. 5:7, NIV).

I have provided two. Yes I do. That is why God Himself, in the Person of Jesus Christ has shed His own blood (Acts 20:28) forthe salvation of sinners. But you are aping the objections of Stuart Murray Williams and Tom Smail. But the Biblical writers don't share your concerns. Peter 2:23...

This is just too pathetic to deserve an answer. The Biblical text says exactly what I believe it says, and I have given two examples to prove it. I have explained those texts, but you are blinded by your own prejudices.
