Biblicist has correctly answered who “they” are. “They” is “us”……..all humans born of the flesh. “We love because He first loved us.” The faithful people were and are the objects of God’s eternal love. His unconditional love is manifested in the absolute predestination unto...

Then why do you fight against the truth of grace which the Lord has revealed in His Word that we might know: -- the truth of how we were saved -- the truth that He does not owe grace to anyone -- the truth that He does not will to give grace to all -- the truth that He alone decides...

Originally Posted by Protestant Scripture states this truth several ways. The historic record expresses this truth through numerous examples: - in the Garden by the disobedience of Adam. - in the Great Flood by the disobedience of mankind. - throughout pagan history by the...

It will have the same effect unless efficacious, irresistible grace is given to man by the power of God. We know this is true because grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. He came to His own and His own killed Him. Conclusion: Men, by nature, hate grace and truth because they hate God...

Little by little your doctrinal system is becoming more transparent. May we understand Prevenient Grace as one of your doctrinal tenets? By this I mean 'sufficient, enabling grace is given to all men so that they are able to believe only if they will to believe.' Thus, the good and holy...

Arminians answer: Belief. Jesus answers: Life. If it is true that all men are born spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, then it is impossible for man to come to faith before spiritual life is given. This is due to the fact that saving faith in Christ is spiritual and not carnal...

Response-able or Skandelous? I'm sorry, but I can't let this recent post of yours 'be.' This is yet another extra-biblical parable invented by a member (who claims no allegiance to Arminius nor Pelagius) to disprove eternal Bible truth. Let us now examine this illustration by...

This is another classic Arminian argument, though the author of the post declares ‘he is neither Arminian or Pelagian.’ I am still waiting for his explanation as to what he does believe. The Gospel message is genuine. It does not exclude anyone. All are sinners in need of salvation...

According to the humanist theory of ‘response-able’ proposed by our Arminian colleagues the Lord could not possibly require, by law, that which man is not able to do. Thus, if God demands the law of faith, man must be able to comply, the Arminian argues. After all, the Arminians complied...

I may, on occasion 'ob', but I have never and will never 'fuscate.' I find 'fuscating' personally repulsive.

Please note the verse you cite states precisely why they lacked faith: ‘They stumbled over the stumbling stone.’ Your sweeping assumption alleges that saving faith resides in all men and simply needs to be ‘called up’ at will by man at the appropriate time. Some, by the power of their...

The above quoted Scripture is in complete harmony with the words of Jesus: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” The answer to the dilemma is found in Ezekiel 36:26 and John 3:3-8. The righteousness the Jews seek is false righteousness. The...

You are confusing God’s Will of Precept/Command (which is man’s duty to obey) with man’s will and desire to actually obey it. “Seek and ye shall find” is the precept. “There is none that seeketh after God” is the universal refusal of man to obey the precept. Those who do seek have been...

I understand that ‘labels’ can be restrictive. I would greatly appreciate your enlightening me as to the differences in your belief system and that of the Arminian/Pelagian belief system.

Christians do not believe in good luck. We believe in the good Lord. There is another possibility which you have not considered. It is that which is stated quite clearly in God’s Word: God humbled himself to become man to accomplish that which Adam and all his progeny could not and...

You didn’t hear either answer.

Yes and no.

I didn’t realize you were a backwoodsman. Indoor plumbing and electricity are such a blessing. Have you had them long?

For a moment there I thought you were ignoring me. Good to see you are alive and kicking.:thumbs: Perhaps one day you will get tired of kicking against the goads..........
