I imagine that a horsepistol is a hospital, as you mentioned Diverticulitis and Pneumonia, but what do ETSed, and B Co, 229th ASH, First Horse mean? Sorry for not understanding.

Am I right in assuming that your "witches" was a typo for "withes", the plural of "withy", a tough, flexible branch of? I have never heard of a witch made of wood. :)

Whether you meant the mind of God compared with the mind of man, or whether you didn't, makes no difference to what I said. Calvinists do not in any way equate man with God.

Whether "to the ages of the ages" as YLT says, or "forever and ever" as ASV, KJV, Bible in Basic English, CEVAustr, EMTV, ERV, ESV, Geneva Bible, GNB, GWV, HCSB, Murdoch, NKJV, RSV, Webster, TRC, and Williams all say (either those exact words, or very similar, like forever more), it certainly...

But you seem to do that, because the Scriptures say that the devil will be tormented "forever and ever" in the Lake of fire, and you seem to ignore that and say that the devil will be united to Christ.

Not so, according to Revelation: “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Re 20:10 NKJV) "Tormented forever and ever" in the lake of fire and brimstone...

I am wondering how God the Father could possibly forsake God the Son without being separated from Him? Thee bible teaches us that on the cross, Jesus was bearing the sins of His people. Surely that is why Gd the Father, Who is perfectly holy, separated Himself from His sin-bearing, though...

Calvinism does not in any way treat God as if He were man. After all, if He were merely a man, His will would be not greater or more potent than any other man's will.

It always seems to be believers who were baptised in the bible. When Philip was asked for baptism by the Ethiopian. he said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may (be baptised)." The jailer and his household believed before they were baptised. In the bible, we don't find church and...

Probably because there are plenty of people, some being true Christians, who don't believe what Baptists believe. Many believe that baptism is not for believers, but can be performed on little babies. Many, like the Anglicans, believe that Church and state are formally linked. And so I could...

So what is it that Baptists believe or do that prevents you from being one?

They meet together to worship God. They baptise people who have come to believe in Jesus Christ. They seek to make the gospel known to others, as you say you do. There are other Baptist distinctives such as the church being separate from the state.

Calvinism certainly does not view God as if He were the old man upstairs. Take the first paragraph of Part II of the Westminster Confession of Faith, for example: "II. Of God, and of the Holy Trinity I. There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most...

But the verse you quoted doesn't mention grace being offered, just grace appearing, as it did when Jesus was on earth.

But the New Testament was written in Greek, with just a few words of Aramaic. There is in Greek a word for "cousin" and it isn't the same as the one for "brother." "Cousin" appears in this verse: “Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you...

Yes, with government of the people by the people, which is surely democracy. Republics can be democracies or not, just as monarchies can.

None can be saved if left to themselves. Like Lydia, whose heart the Lord opened to the truth, I now that my salvation depends on God. Not so - God enables us to believe on Hs Son for salvation.

Yes, it is the power of God that brings about salvation. I fully believe that. Yes, I agree that when Paul talks about the natural man, he is comparing the saved, spiritual man, and unsaved, natural man. What have I written that makes you think I meant anything different? My point is that...

You seem not to have answered the fat that Paul not only says that the natural man cannot receive the things of God, but he also cannot even know them. How then can the natural man believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved? Is such a thing not a thing of God?"

But Paul wrote that the natural man can neither receive nor know the things of God. That being so, he is in no position to respond to God and His truth. You say that 1 Corinthians 2:11 will clear things up. As you say, that verse says that "no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit...
