If I have mischaracterized non-cals, please show me how this is so that I may repent. May I respectfully ask, on what basis does God elect sinners to salvation?

I am in total agreement with you, Dr. Ach. Logic, rational thinking and common sense must not be removed when exegeting Scripture. May I respectfully ask you the following?: (1) Do you believe God loves everyone equally or is He a respecter of persons, favoring some above others? (2) Does God...

Is this not a vital principle of non-cals: the theoretical doctrine that man has the free will to make his own decision either for or against Christ? In order for that to be true man must either: (a) Have the natural ability within himself to do so; or (b) Have help from God to overcome any...

Crucifixion not Sin?? “All unrighteousness is sin” (1 John 5:17a) If the crucifixion of Christ was not a sinful act (not to mention the most despicable act in history) then it must have been a righteous act because murder which is not sin is righteous. “for whatsoever is not of faith...

With all due respect to agedman and others, I believe the discussion needs to be re-directed to the original question which is "guilt." Who is "guilty" of Christ's murder? Surely we can all agree that the crucifixion of Christ is the most heinous sinful act in all history. Furthermore, we...

Thanks, again, Allan, for your response. But how does your view square with Scripture? According to your testimony, YOUR CHOICE was the deciding factor in God's electing and predestinating you to glory, thereby making the Lord God Almighty beholden to sinful man.....who becomes, by...

Jarrod was not always an Adventist dentist. Before he came to the true faith, he was a good Mormon in his beliefs and practices. Born in Utah to a fifth generation Mormon family, Jared was the father of ten darling Mormon children and the father of two Mormon wives, one of which he passed off as...

Thank you, Allan, for continuing the dialogue. Rather than lose focus by responding to the many points you made, I wish to zero in on this one point in particular: You wrote: "Anyway.. #2 Isn't worded correctly either. It might better be worded: 2. God revealed truth to you, helping you...

The Calvinist "God so loved the World?? -- I don't think so!" Take your pick. [personal attack edited]

Hello again! Please allow me to cite a few Scriptures to prove Satan is not bound after Christ's resurrection. Instead, Satan is alive and well, madly determined to take as many souls to Hell with him as satanically possible! "But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to...

Thank you, again, Allan, for your sincere reply. I have specifically used two of your quotes for my next question. In these quotes you have identified specific traits which set you apart from non-Christians. 1. Belief 2. Right Choice How is it that you 'believed', making the right 'choice'...

It’s not easy being of the Arminian persuasion. Perpetual kicking against the goads must smart. Explaining away the Bible truths declared by the Lord Almighty despite its clear and consistent teaching takes much time, effort, and eisegetical gymnastics. “God loves you and has a wonderful plan...

Hi There! In your "Guide to Prophecy" post you indicated "Satan is bound now". However, in this present post you say: "As goes corruption and apostasy in the churches, so follows the fall of Washington, DC and the nation, unless.................." If Satan is now bound, how do you explain...

Thank you, Allan, for your detailed reply. If I may summarize your analysis: You exercised your faith first which then resulted in the reward of the new birth. May I respectfully ask a few questions......? 1. How do you equate your view with Scripture which states faith is God's gift to...

May I respectfully ask you a question? Are you inferring you cooperated with the Spirit of God....the result being your regeneration?

Thank you for opening the door to the Gospel. I pray all your similar thinking friends view this response. Here is the Good News The sovereign Judge has already judged sinners, His only begotten beloved Son having taken their due punishment. Christ propitiated (completely satisfied) divine...

Consider the full armor of God worn at all times!:)

Why is a Lion Monkey your avatar? Are you pushing an evolutionary hidden agenda?

You are not a new, young, professing Christian who has a heart desire to understand the deeper things of God. Nor are you a professing mature Christian who honestly seeks answers to difficult questions. I discern a spirit of contention which has attached a root of bitterness. In other words, you...
