Thanks, I hoped your take was not true, but time and his response will tell...

I did not see where you suggested the Kingdom of Christ was not entered by being transferred into Christ spiritually. Were you not "called" [transferred] out of darkness into His marvelous light? 1 Peter 2:9 Were you not "baptized" [transferred] into Christ spiritually? Romans 6:3 Are you...

No, because we cannot be sure where on the spectrum salvation starts without study of God's word, that book. Please try and answer these questions: 1) Did we save ourselves or did God save us? 2) If you believe, as I do, God saved us, then did we initiate the process or did God initiate the...

Here we yet another fault finding OP, where something is wrong with the body of Christ. Why not post a proposed solution? I assume folks are referring to the bible as ""that book?" So to restate the problem with clarity, why do folks not study the bible using bible study books, such as bible...

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.” [Galatians 3:8] Here we see "Nations" used to refer to both Jews and Gentiles, and that justification comes through individual...

In Matthew 25: 31-46 Jesus teaches about the end of the age of grace. He will begin is Millennial reign, sitting on His thrown. Some have read this passage and conclude, mistakenly in my opinion, that Christ's division will be based on works. But I believe "giving to Christ what He needed"...

I posted the OP looking for discussion of how we could improve our feedback to one another, to help all of us grow toward unity of belief. Your response was that people do not want feedback that helps them improve their witness. They usually just want confirmation their view is correct. That...

1) I presented why "from the beginning" must refer to the beginning of the New Covenant. You provided no feedback, you just repeated your false claim. 2) Yes, we are chosen by God (His Spirit) setting us apart within Christ's spiritual body. 3) The individual choosing did not occur in...

Yet another, "Van is unteachable post," devoid of content. The evidence for you being an empty suit is growing by your every post. Scripture requires we work together to try and find common ground, a consensus, a unity of beliefs. Those that say we cannot learn from one another, as Apollos...

I believe the T, U, L, and I of the TULIP are false doctrines. And the feedback I receive for explaining my views is "taint so and you are rotten for saying so." If i say Luke 13:24 proves the "T" is false doctrine, I get "taint so" feedback, then non-stop efforts to disparage me.

There seems to be no way to get you to discuss scripture, but you do seem willing to discuss your perception of my faults. Conclusion, you may be an empty suit.

No one can come to believe in Christ unless "drawn" (attracted) by the Father. John 6:44. And to be drawn through the gospel, we must learn from the Father. John 6:45 Therefore unless we understand, at least to a degree, the gospel, we cannot be "drawn," we cannot "learn" from the Father...

Yes, I believe Calvinism adds man-made doctrine to scripture, and therefore the advocates of the fiction are liars. But it is not useful to direct our efforts at personal disparagement, that only indicates a lack of scriptural substance for our beliefs I have shown my understanding of 2...

1) Soil #1 had no opportunity to receive the gospel as they do not understand it. 2) Your "word of the kingdom" from Matthew 13:19 refers to the gospel, the good news, the instructions for Christ's kingdom. 3) Yes, the instructions include guidance for our behavior as we strive to become...

Superb post, true and solidly based on scripture. Election by Faith is according to grace, not works, Romans 4:16. Note, salvation does not depend upon the person who wills to be saved by placing his or her faith in Christ, it depends upon God who may have mercy and credit that faith as...

From the beginning of the New Covenant, God has chosen individuals for salvation by setting them apart in Christ based on crediting their faith in the truth as righteousness. Faith before individual election to salvation, grace before corporate election of believers to planned means of redemption.

2Th 2:10 CSB and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved. Those chosen for salvation were chosen through or on the basis of their love of the truth, whereas those not...

More 'taint so" nonsense. Sanctification by the Spirit describes the means by which the individual is chosen, they are set apart in Christ. And the basis for this choice of those individuals is their faith in the truth when credited by God as righteousness. Those that reject the gospel...

As anyone can see, the preposition "en" is used to indicate instrumentality, the means of or the basis of the verbs action of choosing the individual for salvation. The posts of each and every Calvinist try to rewrite the text.

Note once again this poster turns the noun, salvation into a verb, experiencing salvation. This is all they have folk, rewrite after rewrite to alter God's word according the man-made doctrine from the dark ages.
