Right, nobody shortens up their swing with two strikes and tries to get on base. They close their eyes and swing as hard as they can. Got it!

"Since the War Powers Resolution of 1973, sitting Presidents have submitted over 132 reports to Congress. These include the airlift and evacuation operations carried out in Cambodia(1975), committing forces to Beirut, Lebanon (1982/83), the Persian Gulf War (1991), and beyond. Challenges to the...

Bad! Part of the game is to wear out the starting pitcher, by running up his pitch count. Intentionally throwing 4 more pitches to walk someone who might hit a homer, should have a cost. It is not as if today's batters are overpowering our current pitchers, the average of batting averages is...

God crediting our faith is a free gift of grace to those whose faith He chooses to credit. Your Calvinism denies Romans 4:16, our faith when credited is in accordance with grace, not works.

Great post, thoughtful and accurate. However I think all three preclude the everything imaginable view of God's immense knowledge. Here is the alternate view, called Inherent Omniscience, that I believe most accurately reflects scripture. God can know whatever He chooses, such as everything...

Note the "faint praise" but no acknowledgement of the biblical truth posted? This is all they have folks.

I provided three verses that demonstrate God can choose not to know everything imaginable. When Abraham raised his knife to kill his only son, God said "now I know" indicating God chose not to know beforehand. Then, as you cited, God says He can remember no more forever. Clearly this teaches...

Here Calvinism proclaims God does not "remember no more forever" clearly putting man-made doctrine over God's word.

On and on, false claim after false claim is posted. If saving faith is supernaturally given to some, why do they reject it and turn to false doctrines? No answer will be forthcoming, only yet another change of subject by those endeavoring to hide God's truth. Because some believers have not...

On and on, the Calvinists post copy and paste immense amounts of verbiage, citing verse after verse, but signifying nothing. God's will and desire to save all people is clearly stated in 1 Timothy 2:4, but not by way of compulsion, the false claim of Calvinism. God provided the means of...

Does God know everything imaginable or only what God has chosen to know. Those that claim God cannot really remember no more our sins, or that God already knew Abraham would kill his only son, rather than knowing when Abraham drew his knife, or that Jesus really did know the time of His return...

Because some believers have not learned or even heard that our faith must be credited by God before we are chosen individually for salvation during our physical lives, many posters avoid the issue and instead post, "but what about this or that" subject change questions. So the issues they...

Romans 8:9 NASB However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. Here obviously, the meaning of the phrase is the person has been transferred spiritually into the...

I did not see where I said "whom He foreknew" was not what scripture says. Next, your view is implied not to be "playing games" but my view is "playing games." Next, it is implied I am using "liberal debating tactics," Next you indicated that I am interpreting scripture from a Calvinist...

The foreknew of Romans 8:29 is from Before creation. I demonstrated that conclusion. You did not address it, but simply restated your view. Isaiah 45:9-10 says nothing about "eternal decrees" but rather points to His declarations in time, from the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:11 does...

The phrase "in the Spirit" is found about 19 times in the NASB version of the New Testament. Of these, the Greek construction, "en (in) pneuma (the faith) is found in 13 verses. Two verses have the Greek construction "en (in) ho (the) pneuma (faith), two have "ho (in the) pneuma (Spirit) and...

1) "Its not the plan but the people God foreknew." Nope. None of the people had been created. God knew beforehand, from the time before the foundation of the world, His redemption plan including His Redeemer, the Lamb of God, and those His Redeemer might redeem, the target group of His...

No one's name was written in the Lamb's book of life until after the foundation of the world, thus the implementation of God's redemption plan did not begin until after or since the foundation of the world. Thus we have the plan formulated before the foundation, as Christ was known as the Lamb...

All those in Christ now, after Christ's sacrifice were not in Christ before Christ's sacrifice. They had to wait in Abraham's bosom, until they could be made perfect. We receive the Holy Spirit AFTER we are transferred into Christ, thus we are sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit...

What I said: God chose the descendants of Abraham corporately, they would be as many as the stars, but were also chosen individually when God determined they loved God and were determined to keep His commands. This illustrates God's corporate election of believers presented in Ephesians 1:4 of...
