Thank you. I knew he had 2 Peter 3:9 posted, but for the life of me I could not see such a claim in that verse. Truthfully, I still see no connection to the Lambs book of Life in that verse.

Where does God say this?

So you think God just waited for you? Perhaps he was on vacation or was sleeping for awhile and you woke him up when you called. [emoji849] Perhaps he had too much on his plate and was too busy to care about you. [emoji849]

Go bring it to the wizard, scarecrow. You see strawmen all around you. At this point every one is saying, like Inigo, "You keep using that word, Vizzini. I do not think you know what that word means."

You provide a perfect example of a person who thinks God is distant from his creation and not at all active within it. The Bible, however, shows us the God who is holding his creation in His hand and is actively involved. Do you imagine God is taken by surprise at this virus, that He had no...

Of course God gives humanity signs. Paul tells us that we can know God exists by observing his creation. But, is that all God does? Has he merely given signs and then he passively sits back to see if anyone will heed the signs? I certainly think God is much more active than this. If God is...

Reynolds, the exact same thing is said of the spectrum of Arminians. In fact you bristle at being lumped in with that crew. So, let us open up God's word and observe what it says.

May I ask why you run to church writings to make your argument here? You claim "Calvinistic father's" which is terribly vague. Why go to some nebulous church father? Why not go right to scripture alone?

As a Reformed Baptist I agree that Jesus came to preach to all humanity, but I would add that only the elect will accept his message to be reconciled with him. The rest will reject and scoff at such a proposal. Why would a rebel ever reconcile with a King to whom he doesn't want to be subject...

@timtofly, you state "the Holy Spirit seals every human," but does the scripture you shared say that? Who, in the passage, is "ye?" Paul is writing to those who are Christians in Ephesus. He is not writing to the pagans who are still "dead in their trespasses and sins." Therefore, your...

Would you/Could you share the scripture and explain how the scriptures inform your faith? I couldn't care less about old council's of Calvinists or Arminians, synergists or monergists if scripture is not at the heart of why we believe what we believe. I derived my doctrine from years of reading...

Reynolds read all of John 3 instead of isolating a sentence and declaring a doctrine from it.

True. This is where iron sharpens iron. We sit down together and we work through God's word together. We wrestle with the passages and seek the context rather than prooftexting to fit our agenda. On this I hope we both agree.

You implied that Reformed faith is not in the God of the Bible. Such an implication is incorrect.

Not arrogance, Truth. Reformed theology is biblical theology. Neither you nor Scarlett have to believe it, but you would be wrong to say it isn't derived wholely from Scripture.

Dear Scarecrow, the numbers do not lie.

The God of the Bible is the God of the Reformed.

Another diversion. You simply claim "strawman" everytime you are caught.

This is a diversion to avoid the obvious and therefore not be caught.

The irony of this statement is not lost on me.
