Amen, brother Icon. Please know that your godly, Bible-centered posts are much appreciated and edifying. To God be the glory!

The Justification of God - Part 8 In a misguided attempt to justify the holy, good, gracious and loving character of God when confronted with Scripture which declares He will punish sinful men, body and soul, without let-up for all eternity, Arminians/non-Cals/Synergists have invented several...

Thanks so much for your valuable input!

The Justification of God - Part 7 The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a test which sinners must ‘pass’ to be worthy of Election. Rather, Gospel preaching with the accompanying power of the Holy Spirit is an effectual call given to Christ’s sheep whereby the Good Shepherd gathers His Elect, Jew...

The Justification of God – Part 6 The Gospel is not a ‘test’ which a sinner ‘passes’ when he ‘accepts’ Jesus in his heart, thereby earning the right to eternal life. Nor is God’s election based on the foreknowledge of how a sinner will ultimately respond to the Gospel. If that were the...

The Justification of God – Part 5 The Lord is presently meting out justice for our original sin. Death is the penalty for that sin. It is due to original sin that even infants die. However, the first death does not satisfy the justice due the innumerable other sins committed during our...

The Justification of God - Part 4 In their attempt to make God in their image and likeness for the express purpose of justifying His actions (thereby making Him more palatable to the human mind) our Synergist brethren have neglected to consider even more biblical truths. For example, they...

Thank you much, brother, for your kind words! Strange how our Arminian/non-Cal brethren are eerily silent.......Perhaps they are being good Bereans, searching the Scriptures to see if the teaching be biblical?

I am familiar with the ministry. The essay was excellent! Thanks for sharing!

The Justification of God: Part 3 DHK wrote: What Arminian/non-Cals have conveniently omitted from their argument (in their attempt at proving God just by choosing the same destiny which He foreknows a person will ultimately choose for himself) is the fact that God had an eternity to alter...

Arminian/non-Cal view of Foreknowledge Justifies God In the Arminian/non-Cal view the foreknowledge of God is simply His knowing beforehand what free will choices man will make. God then predestinates those He knows will make the right choice for Jesus. DHK wrote: By holding to this...

In closely following the Arminian/non-Cal arguments presented in the recent C/A debate threads it is apparent the central issue debated is ‘the justification of God.’ Those who oppose the Scriptural truth that God from all eternity chose/elected some unbelieving sinners to salvation due to...

Did Moses call the Lord a cruel monster when He commanded Moses to confront Pharaoh with a demand which the Lord knew he would reject? And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I...

Yes, the Lord loves all kinds of people. His love is not limited to race, social status, gender, age or religion. But please remember the Scripture which reminds us that we are not naturally born into God’s blessed family, children whom He loves unconditionally. Rather, we are born...

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a...

The number of scriptural proofs (including parables) which unequivocally teach that the Israel of God – true Israel – is comprised solely of those elect, Jew and Gentile, who have been regenerated by the Spirit, whose hearts have been circumcised, whose faith rests and trusts in the finished...

Thank you all for your kind words. I find it quite disturbing, (as I am sure you do), how so many professed Bible believers can fall into error concerning a doctrine so clearly explained in so many ways by so many apostles and prophets. The Israel of God comprises the same elect sheep...

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. In Paul’s mind there is no controversy as to the identity of the Israel of God. Only...

Please continue reading chapter 20: 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. To the best of your understanding did...

I recently came across a sermon by Spurgeon which corroborates the premise of the OP: the NT Temple of God is comprised of all the members of His universal Church. His sermon is based on the Scripture, He shall build the temple of the Lord, and he shall bear the glory. -- Zechariah 6:13...
