    The Third Party Fishing For Dissatisfied Christians

    That’s what I said, in league with Biden. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    You missed the point. @Dave G caught it and answered well. I wasn't redirecting, I just didn't have much interest in responding when you have God working against Himself. Matthew 12:22-28, and especially appropriate given the "blind" part.

    The Third Party Fishing For Dissatisfied Christians

    Hey! don't forget about Kanye West! He's one of 20 or so choices on our ballot here in CO. I'm kidding, of course. At this point, anyone offering a third party option to Christians is merely trying to siphon votes away from Trump, and is likely in league with Biden.

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    God's thoughts are higher than my thoughts. Whether this or another king, He is able to remove one and put another in his place. But He doesn't necessarily raise every king up. Some are raised up to kingship by birth and go astray (Rehoboam, Manasseh), and that kind might need to be removed...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    [Exo 9:16 NKJV] 16 "But indeed for this [purpose] I have raised you up, that I may show My power [in] you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth. God showed favor to Pharaoh, though he wasn't any of those things. And He certainly hadn't decided to save him. I think your old question...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    I'll look into this. Please know that "God's favor" isn't the same thing as "salvation". I agree with you that we can't earn our salvation--that being dead in trespasses and sins means that we can't gain life through our works. But there are a number of people that have done things that God...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    Are you assuming that because the bible doesn't tell us what Abel knew (and maybe Cain), that we can assume we know? That seems presumptuous to me. And how many times is the word "dead" or "death" used in your Romans and Ephesians references? One time, total. And it's talking about Jesus...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    You want me to tell you why one guy repented and the other didn't, as in accordance with my view? Maybe they were exercising their own free will, just like Cain and Abel????? You can see the work of God in a "dead sinner's heart" with Cain, with the threat: [Gen 4:6 KJV] And the LORD said unto...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    Who is the "he" and who is the "I", Scott? (Hint, who is the one who heals? And since it's in the same sentence, how could "he", third person, and "I", first person, be the same person? "39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    I absolutely agree! And that’s what I stated in my last post. Here’s another way to state that reason: John 3:14-16 (KJV) 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    I wasn’t saying Jesus was waiting before He did ANYTHING, only before He granted to that particular thief eternal life. He obviously was already on the cross. And we know that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Do we need to say God had to do more than have Christ die for us in...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    Here’s what Matthew Henry said about that verse: 1. Moses laments their stupidity: Yet the Lord has not given you a heart to perceive, v. 4. This does not lay the blame of their senselessness, and sottishness, and unbelief, upon God, as if they had stood ready to receive his grace and had begged...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    Does God stretch out His hands in vain? I thought no one could thwart His purposes. Yet here He is doing something in vain! And then He has to provoke His people to jealousy through a foolish people. Is that because He isn’t able to speak the word to them that causes them to cry for mercy...

    Does God Have Libertarian Free Will?

    Yet Jesus waited until the thief said “Remember me.” Seems like either He was responding to the thief’s words, or the thief’s words meant nothing. What if God wills to show mercy and compassion to those who ask Him for mercy and compassion?

    In God's image, or after His likeness?

    How about John Wesley, @The Archangel? That man was made in God's image, and after his likeness; two words to express the same thing. God's image upon man, consists, In his nature, not that of his body, for God has not a body, but that of his soul. The soul is a spirit, an intelligent...

    In God's image, or after His likeness?

    Here’s one I got from biblehub.com. It says the two phrases are not the same (that’s one for you @The Archangel): In our image, after our likeness.—The human body is after God’s image only as being the means whereby man attains to dominion: for dominion is God’s attribute, inasmuch as He is sole...

    Judge Amy used an offensive term

    Isn’t that what it is when one can “identify” as a man today, and as a woman tomorrow? If it’s not a choice, then one can’t just identify differently from one day to the next. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Even if Trump Wins Texas, the GOP Is Facing a Historical Reckoning

    Not just the next four years. If we lose the senate and white house, after a president who has done more to further the conservative agenda than any president in 30 years, even while leftist extremists and anarchists and socialists have overtaken the democrat party, it gives a very bleak picture...
