LOL, I believe God accepted me, and I am NOT perfection... :) 1) So in order to defend false doctrine, this poster once again denies God can have mercy upon whom He has mercy. 2) God accepted Peter whose love was not yet agape, but only phileo. 3) We were not the perfect sacrifice, Christ...

Ever notice that false teachers never acknowledge truth, but simply ignore truth and change the subject to yet another falsehood? Here is what I said: LOL, now this Calvinist claims God is not powerful enough to have mercy upon the wretched sinners of His choice when He credits their imperfect...

LOL, now this Calvinist claims God is not powerful enough to have mercy upon the wretched sinners of His choice when He credits their imperfect faith as righteousness. I kid you not.

Should the Reformed repent of such a doctrine as determinism disguised as sovereignty? It is difficult to find a Calvinist who will openly admit to the doctrine of exhaustive determinism, where every thought or act of every human is predestined, but that is actually what some believe. They...

Do you suppose KenH really does not know the difference between our faith being credited as righteousness, and becoming the righteousness of God in Him? Does anyone really believe we could be made the righteousness of God without the washing of regeneration, without our spiritual rebirth...

I see not one poster even knows the answer to the question posed in post #3! We receive Christ when God gives us to Christ. To be given to Christ is to be transferred spiritually into Christ on the basis of God crediting our faith as righteousness. And if we are given to Him, He will not cast...

Once again scripture is both denied and misrepresented. Was Abraham made the righteousness of God by imputation? Nope What was declared to be righteous: Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.

In Summary: Psalm 7:11 reveals a dual aspect of God's character: He is a righteous judge who is angry at wickedness daily, yet He is also patient and merciful, not unleashing His full wrath constantly, allowing for repentance. What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make...

Interpretive Translation of 2 Thessalonians 2:13. We should give thanks to God for you as our siblings in Christ! Because God has chosen you,from the beginning of the New Covenant, for salvation, by the means of setting you apart in Christ based on crediting your faith as righteousness. It...

Yet another post asking a question rather than addressing the topic. Was an answer to the question, who said "we are chosen because of our faith" provided? Nope.

Once again we see yet another Calvinist effort to rewrite scripture to alter it in accordance with the fiction of Calvinism. Who said 2 Thessalonians 2:13 says we are chosen "because of our faith?" That would make salvation dependent upon the person that wills to be saved, and therefore...

Once again, this post addresses a view point made up by the poster, and does not address the interpretation of Psalm 7:11. In Summary: Psalm 7:11 reveals a dual aspect of God's character: He is a righteous judge who is angry at wickedness daily, yet He is also patient and merciful, not...

Why do some posters, advocating Calvinism, charge me with rewriting scripture. It is an attempt at inoculation, where someone presenting falsehood charges those standing up for true with the same malfeasance as their own. No one seeks after God becomes the Calvinist rewrite no one ever seeks...

LOL, just read Luke 1:2, from the beginning refers to the things accomplished among us, those living in the 1 century. Or how about John 6:24 where Jesus knew "from the beginning" which of His disciples believed. Pay no attention to this naysayer, who spends all his posts finding fault with...

Not one poster admitted to the fact of John 1:12, as many as "received Him" were given the right to become children of God. What is the difference to believing in, on, or toward Jesus, and believing "into" Jesus? We believe in, on or toward Jesus, but only when God credits our belief as...

Understanding what figurative illustrations from our physical world are meant to convey about our spiritual condition is key to accurately handing the word of truth. I am the means of reconciliation, which was given by the God of Heaven. If anyone receives this reconciliation, he or she will...

I like to think I am drawing distinctions to convey truth. Imputation is the same as saying something is so. I can say some truth is so, and I you say something that I believe is true, then I can say or credit or declare your statement is true. Thus you have been imputed with a true...

There is no such thing as "eternal hell" but there is "eternal punishment" in Hades and Gehenna. The lost go into everlasting punishment in the everlasting fire. Matthew 25:41, 46. At a minimum, eternal punishment refers to everlasting separation from God, whether the person is aware of the...

Yes, and that view seems correct to me, that is why I presented that view. Note, verse 12, if a person does not repent, thus patience rather than wrath is indicated. I am interpreting Paslm 7:11 through the lens of Romans 9:22. But I would be remiss if I did not note your response was both...

1 Peter 2:9-10 NASB But you are A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; or you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD...
