    If God is Not Sovereign, Then There is No Grace

    Are you mentally challenged, 1 Peter 1:18 addresses "redemption" not "ransom." Unless you address that paying the price for the ransom only results in the release from bondage at the discretion the the one enforcing the bondage you are simply spiting in the wind. God chooses who He will give to...

    Hugh Ross. His “Good News” brings Bad Fruit: A Closer Look at Dual Revelation

    Let me chime in, commenting on just one facet of the linked article. The premise seems to be if we use our current understanding of reality to interpret scripture, then we are not relying on "scripture alone." This is a false premise. Our understanding of reality is not an additional book of...

    Are we "bent reeds?"

    Thank you so much, Charlie24! A friend of mine, a young Marine, saw I was attempting to clean up the publicly owned gully behind our church property, but much of the needed work was too much for an old and frail person like myself. When he started to help, other members also joined in, and we...

    Study 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Yet another out of context rewrite effort, they have no shame. Many will seek the narrow door, means "all times" is false and anti Christ.

    If God is Not Sovereign, Then There is No Grace

    You are making unproved and demonstratively false claims. Anyone can contribute nothing with these posts. For example you address redemption when the issue is ransom. Anyone can sidestep truth and post diversion.

    Old Covenant?

    Superb post, thanks!

    Study 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    I do not believe these posters do not know "in the beginning" is used to refer to the beginning of the New Covenant. Check out Philippians 4:15

    Are we "bent reeds?"

    Reeds refer to straight stocks, used as walking sticks, such as today we might use a cane to aid us in getting where we need to go. Sometime, after leaning perhaps too heavily upon one, it would bend or break or become unusable to support. In Isaiah 41:1-4 we see our Messiah, our Christ in...

    Study 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Yes, there are none who seek after God at all times. Yes there are none who are seeking God when sinning. Therefore, there are none who have not fallen short of the glory of God. Such a simple truth, why might you ask do some claim not to be able to grasp the context, the flow of thought, so...

    If God is Not Sovereign, Then There is No Grace

    Can you prove anything to a tree stump? How about a stone wall. Try a closed mind. This poster can deny Christ laid down His life as a ransom for all till the cows come home. He can say this truth is has not been proven by our God's faithfulness, and trustworthiness. He can deny Christ is...

    Study 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Calvinism changes scripture to fit their man-maned doctrines of disgrace. They turn the gospel's opportunity into futility. The Lost can seek God, Luke 13:24. The Lost can understand some of the things of the Spirit of God, spiritual milk. 1 Corinthians 3:1. Those entering the kingdom can be...

    Old Covenant?

    The Old Covenant is NOT the same as the New Covenant in His Blood. The New and Everlasting Covenant promises to make our dead souls alive through the blood of the Lamb.

    Just what is "Truth"

    Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us. But we did not yield in subjection to them, even for an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. God's...

    Study 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Good Grief! You simply copy and paste Calvinism, your understanding of scripture is absent. You attack bible study as being secular philosophy, so you offer perversion over truth. Paul is speaking of the beginning of the New covenant in 2 Thessalonians 2:13. That conclusion is dictated by...

    If God is Not Sovereign, Then There is No Grace

    Yet another attempt to deny the very words of God. Here Calvinism ignorantly claims the Master is not Christ. Christ purchased with His own blood the means of reconciliation of the lost. 1 John 2:2. More gibberish, more denial of the obvious. Folks, the issue is Christ purchased and ransomed...

    If God is Not Sovereign, Then There is No Grace

    Yes we have yet another example of Calvinism rewriting God's word, here ignorantly equating "ransom" with "redemption." I kid you not... Christ gave Himself as a ransom for all, 1 Timothy 2:6. The Calvinist even deny that Christ bought those heading for swift destruction, rewriting the text...

    Just what is "Truth"

    What is the truth about John 16:13? Jesus is telling His Apostles they will be indwelt and guided into "all the truth." Many, including myself, believe those enabled to write the New Testament, were inspired, presenting the very words of God. But as a cessionalist, I believe that gift is not...

    Just what is "Truth"

    It appears some do not know our gospel is the gospel of Christ. Not to put too fine a point on it but: Faith in the Truth = Faith in Christ = Faith in our Gospel. What does it mean, Christ is the Truth? Truth has fidelity to the original. Christ is the image of our invisible God. He is...

    If God is Not Sovereign, Then There is No Grace

    God granting or permitting or allowing us to repent is consistent with us taking the action, whether successfully or not. Thus: Acts 5:31 God exulted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to grant repentance (not prelude repentance0 to Israel and forgiveness of sins. Note similar...

    If God is Not Sovereign, Then There is No Grace

    God does not give repentance, that is yet another Calvinist fiction, God allows or grants repentance to those He chooses not to harden.
