Yes it does exist! Well if we allow you to set the terms about just what free will is then maybe you'd score your point. Calvinists want to connect FREE WILL with ability to achieve anything. If you have free will you should be able to break all the laws of physics jump up in the air about 100...

Wrong! You didn't even read the verse before! But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Jn 1:12 If ones asks did they receive you into the party that means they consciously had to do so and make decision to do it. If...

LOL! So this is the way you influence a discussion by having a picture of 9 thumbs up supporting Cassidy's opinion? Very well. But look below! There's 19, twice as many giving it a thumbs down. Guess our side of the argument wins the case! :Cool...

So if someone gave you an inheritance and you were responsible to go to the lawyer and sign on to receive it you'd just say I'm not going. The one who gave me the inheritance has got to pick me up in the car, drive me to the lawyers, carry me in the office and move my hand with the pen? Would...

First of all the last two verses you have here don't even have the word "faith" in them. So why did you put them in there? Next on the verses which have it you have to capture the context of how the word is meant to be taken. Generally "faith" is defined as the over all process but when one...

Well maybe that's just it. Calvinists are good at writing fiction. Non-Calvinists maybe not so much. :Thumbsup

I'd kindly suggest you failed to bolden the most important part. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew...

Yeah sure. A non-Christian sinner goes robs banks every day, beats their wive and kids, commit homicides and enjoys kicking his dog. I just finished talking to a Calvinist on another place and he told me total depravity doesn't mean you're a bad as you could be but here you claim sinners are...

So were those with carnal minds, Christians in 1 Cor 3:1-3 where God called them carnal..and natural...mere men.....they could not take in the deeper insights of God as spoken of in 1 Cor 2 but they still could be fed milk....the basic things of salvation but nothing deeper than that. Though...

What's so hard to believe about that? God is a God of LOVE! He's provided a great salvation! That salvation really is coming into relationship with him. He doesn't force a relationship on another because he is LOVE. Believing is taking an action (believing is a verb) it means willfully...

I'm sorry folks but that's never the way it is in scripture. Let's look at Acts 14:6-10 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:And there they preached the gospel.And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his...

Copping out? Don't think so. For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.1 Cor 2:12 My answer was correct.

:Thumbsup :Thumbsup :Thumbsup Ask the ones who are making the choices. I've asked ones who have made their choice and they all have different answers. :Cool

Absolute nonsense! All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! I've never stated otherwise! If you're trying to say for the reason some chose to humble themselves before God and receive and walk in his grace then yes certain numbers are receiving grace and goodness because of their...

But God doesn't "hate" Esau's decedents that is in the way you're trying to force the term to mean. You're missing the spirit or the essence of how things are meant to be understood. God showed preference to Jacob's decedents when it came to which line Christ would come through. Consider the...

You don't know they'll do that and the words, blah, blah, blah you inserted makes it appear I put it in there and it shows lack of respect for other scriptures they might think I'm using to back my case. Much appreciated if you WON'T do this again. Thanks

No it's only if the unsaved still chooses to stay in the carnal mode. Such is why one needs to repent, which means an about face of life. You don't get your about face of life and then repent? What need would there be to do so then? And God has commanded ALL men to repent. Why bother giving the...

Hold it , hold it, hold it! You put down in a quotation block my statement but you changed it and added words....You shouldn't be allowed to do that. What you put down of mine in a quotation block below.. Nope you're failing to understand how biblical wording is used. God did not say in Gen 25...

Great response to that line Calvinists use when's the last time you saw a dead person reach out for something (or words similar) Well of course...do dead people sin, commit crimes and disobey? Yeah our dear Calvinists friends can't have it both ways here....if they're dead they're dead....if...

Interesting blog to read. I'd like to read a lot more of the period between say 100 AD to 500 AD.
