    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Yet another false claim, in the endless parade of false claims. Here "in the beginning" is said be "from the beginning." If I asked, is it ignorance or apathy, the poster might reply, I do not know and I do not care... :) Next, note the mistranslation of Revelation 13:8. The correct...

    Path of this America

    We often see discussions between those who want Christians to focus on witnessing to individuals, and not try to shape our culture and governing principles along Christian lines. Some rail against the "Social Gospel." The believing founders of our country thought all men, but perhaps chiefly...

    Monroe Doctrine

    I am sorry but you appear to have thought nothing of the sort as you deliberately removed clandestine after I referred to a Nazi spy ring. Folks, within the except quoted in post #9, it says the lady broke the Nazi spy ring preventing Hitler from gaining a "toehold" in the region. Toehold is a...

    Monroe Doctrine

    Returning to topic, the key feature of the Monroe doctrine is "Non-Interference." Thus blocking the interference of others but allowing your own interference is not in accordance with the doctrine. We might call this self-serving doctrine America Imperialism. So our key question seems to be...

    Monroe Doctrine

    I already proved it was not my fantasy, so for you to repeat your false claim indicates malice. Next you edit "clandestine" out of the beachhead phrase, and insert military beachhead. Why not address what I said?

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Endless diversion from the actual topic is all Calvinism has to offer, when 2 Thessalonians 2:13 proves God chooses individuals, and has done so from the beginning of the New Covenant in His blood, by transferring the individuals into Christ spiritually based on crediting their faith as...

    Monroe Doctrine

    By the way, my understanding of WWII is based largely upon the biographical books of several important persons of WWII. Churchill, Eisenhower, Nimitz, spring to mind, plus books and articles detailing significant contributions such as the development of the computer, radar, underwater...

    Monroe Doctrine

    Thanks for posting something actionable! My statement is based upon the book, "The Women Who Smashed Codes" by Jason Fagone. Here is an excerpt from a review of this book: Despite the fact that Smith Friedman broke the Nazi spy ring in South America—arguably preventing Hitler from gaining a...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Yet another idiotic absurdity, all these Calvinists do is post non-germane nonsense falsely claiming it somehow supports their false doctrine. John 17:17 teaches Christ's disciples are to be sanctified or set apart in God's word which is the truth, such that they will be protected from evil...

    "In the spirit?"

    We find the phrase "in the Spirit" or "in the spirit" about 19 times sprinkled throughout the New Testament in the NASB. Ever consider just what is or what concepts are being taught by this phrase? Certainly if we are acting in the will of God, such as presenting accurately His intended...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    These Calvinists like to change the subject from 2 Thessalonians 2:13 to their manufactured disparagement of those that love them enough to be messengers of truth. So sad... Yet another idiotic absurdity, here positional sanctification, being spiritually set apart in Christ as the means of our...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Let us take a closer look at these claims. 1) What was the mystery that God predestined before the "ages,"in 1 Corinthians 2:7? First "before the ages" refers to before time began, before creation. Next the context reveals the "mystery" in view in our verse. Mystery refers to the things...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    2 Thessalonians 2:13 is a compound sentence, with subjects, verbs, direct and indirect objects. Here is how I understand it based on grammar and context. We should always give thanks to God for you as beloved by the Lord. Subject, =We; Verb = should give thanks, direct object = God...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    To paraphrase part of a recent post: The 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 passage has nothing to do with being chosen BEFORE the foundation of the world, and everything to do with being chosen individually for salvation since the beginning of the New Covenant in His blood, when He died. The first...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Someone said belief of the truth is the result of sanctification by the spirit. I called that view "idiotic absurdity." 2 Thessalonians 2:13 says we are chosen for salvation "through" or on the basis of faith in the truth. It does not say sanctification provides faith in the truth. That...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Just posting scripture without explaining how the post adds to the discussion is not useful. Here we see the Greek word "adelphos" (G80) and in this usage refers to fellow believers as siblings of one family, as children of God. So where we see brothers, brothers and sisters, siblings, or...

    Monroe Doctrine

    I have no idea just what your purpose and intent for posting. Marxist sabotage seems a possibility.

    Monroe Doctrine

    Here is the actual text, at the end of the article. Monroe Doctrine (1823) Note that Teddy Roosevelt and JFK created corollaries to the Non-Interference doctrine. Also of interest, at least to me, was the efforts of the Third Reich to establish a clandestine beachhead in South America. And...

    Daily killings

    1) To not accept the murder of 10s or 100s of thousands of Americans is not the rationalization of murder, it is a biblically mandated response to injustice. 2) Did I say or suggest the fugitive slave act was just. You make up falsehoods about me and post them, marking you as what you are...

    Understanding 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    More dancing around the issue, more deception and diversion. We were chosen for salvation through faith, thus God credited our faith in the truth as righteousness as the basis of His choice. The accreditation was a gracious gift, but our initial faith was not supernaturally instilled by...
