I'm not a Calvinist but I must say I like this post.

There's probably been about 666 different ideas of just what 666 means. I'd never discourage the study of it but oh I've heard so many different ideas. Still think it might be something we don't quite see and understand clearly yet.

True but I still think you've misunderstood what he's really saying. He also stated this. But there is a beautiful moral application to the Christian. It always remains true that the poor in spirit, rather than the proud, are blessed, and those who mourn because of their sins, and who are meek...

Very true but I also consider there can be much justification for suspecting there's something seriously wrong in how some present themselves. Jesus said to as wise as serpents and to be as harmless as doves and I'm not speaking of just one side that fail to do this. (and I am a Non...

On the other hand though even such ones have a desire after God albeit perhaps not according to perfect knowledge. It seems Calvinists always hold to the sinner doesn't even have a desire for God or anything in them to seek him. But they do but yes not all have their motives right.

Yes you can learn a lesson from his spiritual condition at the time. But you can't build doctrines stating it's a given he never became saved. Not a lesson you can lift from the text.

You were talking to another here David but just because someone tears something up doesn't mean they were justified to do it.

Yes and No. I just checked out Scofield on this and while he did say something similar I think you've missed the idea of what he was truly stating. The morality issue of the Sermon on the Mount must still be seen in New Covenant believers but we do have God's grace now to enable the spiritual...

UM...Nope!

Dr Flowers has given a rebuttal to Mr Whitie's charges. I believe most hearing it will set aside White's concerns as a misrepresentation .

Well JonC interesting that you can see this and yet it's a mystery to you as to why? I'm not sure why it should be. Consider. Does not Calvinistic thinking regardless of what some might claim effect many in their consciousness as cause them to think other human beings really don't have value...

The title young Pope got my attention. They'd never bring in a young Pope. Too long to get rid of him if he became not liked. They like the old guys ole around 80.

Only in a Calvinistic mind which refuses to accept the proper scriptural way that grace is meant to be understood in the NT.

So you're seeking to assert that it's not actually talking about losing one's salvation by steering away from using "soul"?? I'm unclear as to your reason for putting down this verse and yes I did read InTheLight's post as well. If so look then at what you'd be saying....it would therefore...

I disagree. God might want to bring something to one's attention fast and quick. A dream could d this. And I'm not taking necessarly about doctrine but directions for one's life. But again I think you're limiting visions and dreams to doctrinal issues. Most dreams and visions that I see in...

Not sure how seriously one can take any poll at such an early stage. Some respondents like to say they don't have favor to a President in order to keep him focused and trying harder on the job. If everyone just claimed they loved him he might tend to get lazy. The real poll is election day.

God clearly stated that we were to LOVE our enemies! And you've never thought that the reason they are our enemies is because they are his?

And that's what I've said for a long time. If there isn't one actions need to take place to get one on the go and support it and GET OFF Facebook. Their actions are showing they're not going to be impartial in how they treat all sides so they need to face the reality of a great drop off on...

Hold it now just one moment! You've just purposely steered away from the context of the text and you've shortened up the verses or didn't put down all that needed to be said.You cherry picked out verse 45...didn't mention 44 or 46 which would have shown you wrong. It didn't just say God is good...

An interesting thread but I don't think in most of the world of Christendom you'll see the set up changed, that is a number of songs, offering time, preaching time and one more song to close it up. Not that God doesn't require these things be done in a sense but the way in which they're set up...
