Anyone who purposefully omits the mention of and dominion of Satan when making an apology for man’s ‘free will’ is doing a good work for Satan. This you have done consistently and habitually. The world at large denies the existence of Satan. The devil is pleased by such denial. The...

Have you never read the Gospels accounts of Jesus Christ, God made manifest in the flesh? During the entirety of Christ’s ministry God the Son was speaking to spiritually dead men. Please re-read and re-study the night encounter which Nicodemus had with the Lord. Nicodemus, the most...

You conveniently omitted key points in the historical record. 1. Man has an enemy who is smarter, stronger and more cunning than can be imagined. Your ‘free will’ theory will vanish in the dust if you ever come to believe the overwhelming power Satan exerts over the weakling, naïve, sin...

Your ‘free will’ doctrinal theory could be substantive had the Scriptures started with this narrative in Genesis. However, from the crucial perspective of reality as related in the Garden of Eden any unbiased reader of God’s Word soon realizes that the one man created upright willfully chose...

A Tale of Two Faiths – Chapter 3 Christian: Hey there, Preacher Man. I know how busy you are, what with preparing sermons, visiting the sick and elderly, feeding the hungry, etc., etc. But if I contribute a few shekels to your ministry may I ask you a few questions? Preacher Man: Alright...

A Tale of Two Faiths – Chapter 2 Christian: Hey there, Preacher Man. I saw you praying in the Market Place and thought I would come by and say, ‘hello.’ Preacher Man: And? Christian: ...And I have a few questions for you. Preacher Man: Alright, but make it quick. I have places to go...

Not willing to resist the Holy Spirit’s calling to pick up my quill and write, I humbly submit A Tale of Two Faiths for those curious souls who ponder the truth of the eternal question, ‘What’s faith got to do with it?’ Christian: Hello there, friend. I see by the color of your cloak, the...

Innate: “1. existing in one from birth; inborn; native” By this one statement DHK has revealed his Pelagian theology. The doctrine that man has the natural capacity to that which is spiritually good, i.e., to believe on Jesus with a faith that justifies, is heresy, plain and simple, and...

It doesn't RT. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither...

Originally Posted by Protestant: On the contrary, these verses prove your initial postulate: The Lord never changes. I simply added the fact that evil man has also never changed. He remains evil. By citing Deut. 30 & 1 Peter 1 I have proved that the Lord’s plan of salvation has never...

Amen. Men were evil on the OT and continue to be evil in the NT. The inherent evil nature of man’s heart reached its apex in the murder of innocent Jesus. Both OT and NT teach the need for a new heart which only God can give. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart...

It all starts with grace: the undeserved love, mercy and compassion which our Lord has for His Jewish and Gentile Elect. The OP proves that if faith is the sinner's gift to God before the miracle of regeneration takes place, then regeneration is not of grace, but of justice; i.e., God giving...

Then how do you rationalize this Scripture: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The context of John 3:3 has Jesus explaining the necessity of man’s inherent sinful nature being changed by God. Until the Spirit regenerates that person --...

I cannot but wonder why it is that you cannot disprove the logic since you are so adamant it is a 'rewrite.' I simply started with easily interpreted truths and used those truths as a means of interpreting other more controversial truths. Please state where my interpretations are in error...

The OP Parts 1-3 deal with this very question. Please study the logic and post a refutation, if possible. There are various synonyms used which mean the same thing: born again, quickened, resurrected, made alive in Christ....are a few. Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you...

Thank you for your comments. Please show me exactly where it is I went beyond what is biblical. I simply applied biblical truths in a systematic way to prove salvation is all of grace, including spiritual saving faith. Below is yet another analogy used by Jesus to prove that which I have...

Part 3 God’s Word condemns all men as evil. (Gen. 6:5; Luke 11:13) All men’s hearts are evil and can only bring forth evil thinking, evil speech and evil deeds. (Luke 6:45) Their so-called righteous acts are as filthy rags. (Isa. 64:6) Yet our Arminian, non-Cal, Synergist friends...

Part 2 Romans 10:9-10 declares: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto...

Your point is well taken. However, it seems to contradict the teaching that the sinner must first believe on Christ before regeneration can take place. The keys to understanding Luke 11:13 are two-fold: 1. In God’s view all men are evil. Jesus confirms this inconvenient truth which...

DHK wrote: Ergo, faith is the sinners’ gift to God, ultimately proving all men have the wherewithal to believe on Christ, their faith independent of God’s omnipotent Spirit working in them…..proving Calvinists/Monergists have it all wrong. This unscriptural view is more common than I had...
