Close but no cigar. The Greek word translated "church" over 100 times in the NT is "ekklesia" (G1577) and it is a compound word meaning "called out" and refers to those who have been called out of the realm of darkness into the Kingdom of His beloved Son, Colossians 1:13. Some create a...

Spot On!! As many as received Him, those who put their trust and devotion in Christ, as determined and credited by God, to them He gave the power to become children of God by transferring them into Christ and causing them to be born anew spiritually, as siblings of Christ. In short, their...

Yet another false claim of idiotic absurdity, we already have been chosen for salvation through faith in the truth, when we are put spiritually into Christ and then after we have been set apart in Christ, we undergo the washing of regeneration whereby we are born anew, holy and blameless before Him.

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...

News Flash! The Atheists and Muslims are coordinating to destroy the Judaeo-Christian culture of the West. When you see reports of the tens or hundreds of thousands of Americans killed by drugs grown by the Muslims in Afghanistan or manufactured as precursors in China, you should realize who...

Acts 17:26 reads of one blood in the KJV (TR) and the WEB (MT) but not the NASB (CT). That text just reads made from one every nation of humanity...that they would seek God (verse 27). Sort of reinforces the idea a marriage should be among those who sought and were found by God.

Yet another effort to deny we were saved by grace through or on the basis of faith when and if credited by God as righteousness.

Another effort to deny we were saved by grace through or on the basis of faith.

Off topic diversionary post, we were chosen for salvation through faith in the truth, not chosen then given instilled faith via irresistible grace.

We were chosen for salvation individually on the basis of God crediting our flawed faith as righteousness, His choice was gracious because our faith did not merit or earn the choice. Romans 11:5 Christ was chosen, and therefore an elect one, and those of us chosen through faith and...

Yet another idiotic absurdity, we were chosen for salvation through or on the basis of faith in the truth, therefore we can to faith BEFORE God chose us as individuals for salvation.

Yet another idiotic absurdity, we are saved by grace THROUGH OR ON THE BASIS OF FAITH.

More idiotic absurdity, here "he saved us" is falsely claimed to refer to He chose us for salvation. The same rewrite to alter the text of 2 Thessalonians 2:13.

Here is a walk back, one Calvinist says or implies faith is a instilled gift, and when proved false, the next Calvinist claims the gift of salvation includes faith. Just another fiction from the dark ages. Note the fact we are chosen "through" or on the basis of faith in the truth is ignored...

Here the Calvinist ignores the plain reading of 2 Thessalonians 2:13 and claims it says the opposite.

Here is an entire post address my supposed character flaws, rather than biblical doctrine. Why the effort to change the subject to me, rather than 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...

Just one little note on physical differences. Scripture says there is NO difference between male and female. Now no one believes, at least in my experience, that males and females are equal physically. But we are all the same to God, whether black or white skinned, whether Jew with their...

According to scripture, pre-salvation faith is NOT a gift! Your statement if false. Your intentionally vague claim about Ephesians 2:8 is fiction. I expect you know that the pronoun "that" does not refer to faith, the pronoun being neuter while faith being feminine, but you make the false...
