    Who is Drawing?

    Nope sorry Katarina....you yourself demonstrated the greek word "pas" overwhelmingly means every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything.....every kind of, is allowed. That by no means wins a case to suggest God only wants some people saved. " I exhort therefore, that, first of...

    Elect or Non-elect?

    Nope sorry, but you've just made this up for you're forced to acknowledge that men YES do understand the concept of the gospel. That's self-evident just ask any atheist (who does know anything about Christianity) do Christians believe in a Christ who was made a substitute . They'd answer YES...

    Who is Drawing?

    Sure Dave :Cool " I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 for kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this [is] good and...

    Elect or Non-elect?

    This creates a problem for Calvs. Notice the thing that saves people. The word of God. The gospel IS the power of God. 1 Pt 1:24 states, "For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God." 1 Pt 1:24 Not born again by...

    Elizabeth Warren releases DNA results - Native American heritage

    I can't see Biden doing it because of age. He's 74 now so at 76 he'd be thought of as a potential? Sure President's maybe in their second term were the same age but many don't want the captain changed from the helm when the ship is running basically smooth. IMO

    God's Purpose Accord to Election

    I think you're on to something here. In this crazy world where it seems people care more about animals than they do about people it's easier to understand an analogy.

    God's Purpose Accord to Election

    Something in 1 Cor 1: 18-28 you really need to consider though. Yes there's the need to believe in the gospel of Christ but Calvinists have it all people outside of Christ are so absolutely depraved they cannot accept the wisdom of God without irresistible grace. That's not what 1 Cor 1 says...

    Can Non-Cals Explain the Sovereign Grace Of Almighty God?

    Well that's the greek word πρό and not ἀπὸ same as for Mt 6:8, Mt 8:29, Mt 24: 38 . So where would ἀπὸ be used as in something before in the scriptures. Now look I admit I don't know applications of Greek and usage....but where am I missing it? If Rev 13:8 meant (before πρό) rather than...

    Can Non-Cals Explain the Sovereign Grace Of Almighty God?

    Well I don't have expertise in the Greek but seek to do my best in checking out things. You say "before" is also acceptable to translate from ἀπὸ. I see it as an option with Strong's but it's down on the list....and as you say it's more common to translate it "from". Things is though I...

    God's Purpose Accord to Election

    Well you're right....Hyper-Calvinism doesn't make sense. You see this is why your teaching doesn't add up. It's one thing spending time with people sharing the gospel knowing at least they're being given their chance. It's entirely a different thing to have God telling you to share the gospel...

    Can Non-Cals Explain the Sovereign Grace Of Almighty God?

    This poster is trying to create a false difference as it comes to faith. There's a difference in relationships with different parties but never a difference in faith. Faith is merely believing something to be substantially true . Your faith in a spouse is linked to the integrity they've...

    God's Purpose Accord to Election

    Quite frankly I don't think God is too happy with the thought some say he hasn't given all men choice either. :Cool

    Can Non-Cals Explain the Sovereign Grace Of Almighty God?

    Well nice try "T". What did Spurgeon say? ==>"The child’s hand does not make the apple, nor improve the apple, nor deserve the apple; it only takes it..." You say it was placed in the kid's hand. When the last time you heard someone say, "Take this!" when all the time they've got it in their...

    Can Non-Cals Explain the Sovereign Grace Of Almighty God?

    Neither one? You're not blowing smoke here "T"? Spugeon as pointed out said what he said about faith receiving and you've said the opposite and you claim you're not in disagreement with a very well known Calvinist? Whats fact aren't in evidence? The Spurgeon Quote The child’s hand does not...

    Can Non-Cals Explain the Sovereign Grace Of Almighty God?

    And well that's not exactly what Calvinism does??...robs God of his Glory as being a God of Love by commanding sinners to repent, knowing there's no way they can even from birth and to add insult to injury hold them accountable for not doing so? That would be leading people on giving them...

    Review of Free Will 2

    I'm sorry but I have to believe this is extremely disingenuous for you to say this and the only reason you do it IMO is to deceive the misinformed. You DO NOT believe a genuine invitation was given to ALL! There's nothing genuine about saying ALL are invited to salvation and turning them away...

    Review of Free Will 2

    Sorry R no offense but I'd kindly suggest you review my posts. I think you'll find I've many such "Biblical cases" all of which you go strangely silent to respond to. As in Jesus did use the analogy of the sinner as being sick in response to your saying the sinner is either spiritual dead or...

    Can Non-Cals Explain the Sovereign Grace Of Almighty God?

    Well Cals are wrong when you take the wraps off on just what they mean, "none of us" Jesus went to the cross. We didn't. Jesus descended and then ascended after three days. We didn't. Jesus went before the Father God in the Holy of Holies with his precious blood. We didn't ! Salvation was then...

    Review of Free Will 2

    And just what does God not needing the counsel of his creation have anything to do with defending your case against Non-Calvinists? Nothing whatsoever! Depending on how you define "cooperator with God" but I believe this about the subject of election and nope I won't back down regardless of...
