I thought is was too. I always thought President Trump would pass through these waters somehow someway but thought it would be somewhat more turbulent than it ended up. The whole investigation to the American people has come across as one big dud. It's sort of like the feel is this all that came...

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. Acts 10: 30 Shouldn't you...

Your strong assertion does not make that so. When Paul declared "Be you reconciled to God" 2 Cor 5:20 that's what they need to do. They need to reconcile their differences with God. God has already reconciled his differences with them. As far as God is concerned his work is done and...

I said why in my post : "One can have acquired benefits that belong to them in a covenant but if they don't take proper action to appropriate or receive they'll never have them manifested as a reality." Scripture says as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God...

You're right on this. Theologians may never come into agreement or be unified in regard to whatever the truth is on this. Of course such doesn't mean one side isn't right. I tend to like to keep things simple as I believe our Lord did. We see much parsing of words here about the way "kosmos"...

Not true! You're not a universalist just because you believe all men's sins have been propitiated. You used the word "must" so I'll tell you what the must is. One can have acquired benefits that belong to them in a covenant but if they don't take proper action to appropriate or receive they'll...

The fun thing I'd like to watch is that if Trump won again how absoluely stunned and floored would be the more extreme Dems. I think they're convinced that OK Trump got in but if was just some sort of big mistake the American people made at the time maybe something akin to temporary...

Actually one could use a whole slew of scriptures and the other party doesn't use any and they can be the one RIGHT. I've seen Calvinist roll out 10-20 scriptures and EVERYONE they force and faulty interpretation on the verse and another might merely be trying to get the Calvinists to obey...

Sorry I'm not buying this how Calvinists swing back to things that God just permits as being equivalent to a decree. I think it's disingenuous to try twist language around to say things like decreeing things or ordaining things can mean just allowed. And I don't see too often any great push to...

Calvinists always seem to fall back on the statement above every time what they're saying doesn't make any rational logical sense. Some times however things they claim about God are just foolish period and have no validity whatsoever. I suppose though it can be a good technique to cause a...

Nope! Interesting points that can be addressed but they have NOTHING to do with what I was talking about. Go back to my post #24 and seek to do better to answer the question. Thanks.

Your response makes no sense at all. Just answer the question if one would be WITH EXCUSE if natural revelation hadn't been given to them than why would they likewise not be WITH EXCUSE for another thing that would be needed to give them to make salvation possible? I like analogies but try...

You miss the mark in how you put this all together. You talk about what sinful man can claim or not claim of which the answer would determine if man should be held accountable. For instance let's go at this from the start here and not the end. Let's say God didn't give this "general...

So how do you explain that a baby just being born and NEVER, EVER, EVER had a space of time where they have done this, suppressed the truth. So they're innocent of any of this and God just gave them a reprobate mind minutes after coming out of the womb? As usual Calvinism doesn't add up.

What camp...Calvinism or Arminian? I'm in the Bible Camp! Isn't that the one we all want to be in? And by focusing on that one camp we challenge each other to make sure that's the one we're in. :Cool

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you making light of the possibility that one can on their deathbed receive Christ? If this wasn't possible than why would Jesus say to the thief, "Today you will be with me in Paradise"? So would the thief just asking the Lord to remember him when he...

I think there needs to be both but first the chief mandate is to preach the gospel. The issues of Calvinism need to be addressed however lest new Christians get indoctrinated to what I consider to be a false way of thinking about God that can effect them the rest of their lives. With a new...

Could maybe some things of how conducted business been off the rails? I don't know. Perhaps. But one almost wonders why should one become absolutely incensed by any of this when I think it's easy to conclude his opposition it appears is no way honorable and if they were scrutinized and had the...

Yes I believe when Jesus said the stones of the temple would be overthrown it was sometime in that 1st Century. Titus who was a general in the Roman army at the time invaded Jerusalem.

To say history proves prophesied events HAVE occurred I think is quite a stretch.I've read the preterist and partial preterist position and while it has some interesting points I'm far from being convinced. As for me I still lean on a futurist way of thinking
