So tell us...according to you what would the Spirit being allowed to work for more than a few minutes look like? What would be taking place? Well yeah I think you've got the Stage 1,2,3,4,5,things happening pretty clear. Thing that startles me of many churches is that they get into the...

Well churches should make sure the repentive have it set up for them to have fellowship and strengthening. People are only human and maybe right to have concerns. I'm sure when people heard about the conversion of Saul, to Paul it most certainly wasn't overnight that he would have been so...

Well here's the thing on that though. I've had a silly hobby....oh once and awhile reading accounts of claims of being abducted. 9 times out of 10 it goes like this....they didn't know it had happened to them and so they seek help. They're put under hypnosis and while in this state suddenly...

Wow! Can the world get any more crazier than for someone to say this? Over 40 years ago I worked for a rubber company, third floor, mixing department. We'd put carbon black in a mix and at the end of shift you were black. Not trying to upset anyone but it was just the case. You'd go down...

The question of the poll doesn't reflect what you're really wanting to know. The poll states, "Are people hell bound because of Adam's Transgression" Most posters I'm sure would say YES BUT what you're really asking is does that include Babies. Yes technically babies are a part of "people" but...

Yes it's a false humility. It does look good and sound good to a point but when one takes the wraps off of it they're left with dealing with the ramifications of such a position. To me it seems Calvinists just set them aside by calling them a mystery.

Yes and I agree with your basic statements above. When I say our will is completely free that is in the context of how you say the choice of life or death we have. But like I said some want to give an unfair treatment on just what complete free will would be. If you have free will you should...

I don't think you're doing that either. I think it's that other poster being extreme. Unfortunate with a subject like this one has to continually put qualifiers on statements. People many times are talking past each other on this not realizing they're not even on the same page on just how the...

Well Dave that means you're acknowledging you're wasting your time here. If you feel that way doesn't mean you should be redeeming your time? For the record doesn't mean that I shouldn't be doing more of that myself if that's what I'm doing.

Sure one doesn't have to decide either way. As one first becomes a believer there's a great many Bible subjects and themes which are a great deal more important this type of issue. Who Christ is, what happened at the cross and why it occurred.....why the resurrection ....the authority in the...

Interesting post Gup. I do think you make a good point with Duet 30:11, that the commandment isn't too difficult or beyond their reach.

I'm thinking the crucial thing about this subject is for us daily to pray and ask for opportunities that God will bring our way to share the gospel. Jesus said, ask and we would receive, seek and we would find and knock and doors would be open to us. I can't see any more unselfish way to apply...

Well if that is the case it would be like the end of the weeping that has endured for the night :Cry and the joy that comes in the morning....the dawning of a new day! Hope we see it! :Thumbsup

And you know for sure that if Trump had a hot mic that picked him up saying such there would be impeachment proceedings on the spot. Wonder why it didn't go the other way? Oh that's right! The double standard!

For sure. The Lord is in control. I like this passage of scripture from Ps 46:2 "Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;" Ps 46:2 And it goes on to say, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among...

Did I say one is not moved upon God to be saved in the absolute sense of the word? Armininans believe in prevenient grace which means God works to enlighten and inspire all to be saved. Depends on the context. It can mean chosen to a particular ministry and not all are chosen to be say an...

Now I knew Dave that you or somebody else was going to quote those verses written by Paul many, many years later but those verses were about people trying to be saved by the keeping of the law. That's how Paul defines the "works" theme he writes about. Of course you're going to reject this but...

True but they might be shocked to see that backfire on them. Some who might be prone to vote Dem might find this type of approach give them pause for thought and scare them. It's taking all civility down to the lowest level possible and are they really wanting things to be as base as this. If...

I agree with your response to this poster. The people were asking Jesus what THEY were to do. What is the work? I can't believe Jesus would express this with different way of thinking without clearly stating he was doing so. If Jesus was going to introduce a whole different direction of...
