Bob, I for one give you an 'A' for zealousness. Frankly, I do not see how you are able to hold down a full time job, as well as a family, and still find the time to post as you do. However, having read your theological viewpoints over the last several months, I cannot find it in my spirit...

According to the Online Etymology Dictionary the root meaning of ‘responsible’ is: “1590s, "answerable" (to another, for something), from obsolete French responsible (13c., Modern French responsable, as if from Latin *responsabilis), from Latin respons-, past participle stem of respondere "to...

Please respond to my earlier post #183 which was directed specifically to you.

“Proactive people recognize that they are ‘response-able.’ They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior." (Dr. Stephen R. Covey, Non-Christian Millionaire Life Coach Guru) “When you are ‘response able’ you are...

But is that not the very point Jesus makes when explaining the new birth from above, by the Spirit, the absolute requirement to seeing, and therefore, to entering the Kingdom of God? Despite all the positive attributes and extensive education of Nicodemus, he was still blind to spiritual...

Is Christ divided? Is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth who leads all believers into all truth? The Jews could also read. However, they killed Christ. Conclusion: Reading is not the issue. Reading with spiritual understanding is the issue. So did Nicodemus. He could not...

Christ, the Head of the Church called and anointed His first NT Church members of His Body, the Apostles. "And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth...

Biblicist has responded correctly to your denial that Judas was always a devil. Re: Apostles.......so they are not members of the NT Church? And Christ is not yet Head of the Church? And Christ was not the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world? And the Elect NT Church members...

Yes. Jesus purposefully, knowingly chose a devil to be an Apostle. Biblicist is correct. Jesus did not choose him to salvation. Jesus chose him to an office of high leadership in His Church. Why did He do such a thing?

TRANSLATION: "I can't help it if I happen to have a unique Holy Ghost anointing, a gift of interpretation which exceeds that given to all men. I say this in all humility knowing that God gives grace to the humble. To my knowledge I was sinless through High School. This can be proven by...

Never once expounds........?? "And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul." "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I...

Couldn't agree more, Biblicist. I find it shocking and reprehensible that the average professing Christian hasn't a clue regarding the doctrines we discuss here. I for one, did not learn the doctrines of grace in my local church. It was through independent study that they were brought...

I realize you are the only member of this Board who vocally denies original sin. As such you will find much of the Bible unintelligible, requiring extreme Scripture twisting on your part to make heads or tails of it. You envision two sweet, innocent sinless twin fetuses in Rebecca’s womb...

Not true, Winman. We believe what the Scriptures teach: all men are sinners and as such deserve eternal punishment for their sins. The Elect deserve exactly what the Reprobate deserve. However, God, in His mercy, made a decision in eternity before mankind was born: He would save a...

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest...

Of course you do. This is the very reason we are in diametrically opposed camps. We have opposite views of man’s fallen nature and the resulting toll of sin. We have opposite views as to God’s purpose in Election. We have opposite views as to the means God employs to actually achieve...

The very fact that the debate between Arminians and Calvinists regarding salvation has been ongoing for centuries proves your assertion wrong. If the TRUTH of God has ‘enough power for people to understand and respond’, how do you explain the perpetual conflicting viewpoints in these two...

Your exegesis could not be plainer and clearer……to those who will not close their eyes to eternal truth. Man is born impotent and powerless (Gr: dunamai) to change his sinful state. Moreover, he does not will holiness because it is antithetical to his sinful nature and desires...

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." The Light we preach is not Satan --...

Yes, believing upon Jesus is man’s duty. We know this is so because it is through the revelation of God’s preceptive will of command that man becomes obligated to his Creator for the obedience rightly due Him. Whatever the Lord commands is good, righteous, holy and just. "And the times...
