You did it again. You reword what I stated in order to draw a different conclusion than the one I already clearly drew. I stated that one doesn't earn or merit forgiveness by asking for it. One doesn't deserve or merit being saved BECAUSE of repentance. But once he does repent and believe...

What does 'first to the Jew and then to the Gentile' mean to you? What does the Jew being 'cut off' while the Gentiles are being 'grafted in,' mean to you? These are corporate or national statements about God's elective purposes. It does NOT mean individuals aren't in view, because clearly...

But who granted you the ability to believe it? :laugh:

You treated my first post, which only contained God's word and definitions, with the same distain as you treat all my posts, so I'm simply asking for clarity. So are you disagreeing with God or Webster's definition? You still haven't told us. Who messed up? God or Webster?

God's words in post #8 or mine? I can't tell because you seem to treat both with the same distain.

God does not lie, and He always keeps his promises. So, if God were to state, "IF you do X, then I will do Y," then you can take that promise to the bank. I think we would both agree on that point. However, where we disagree is regarding God sincerity or forthrightness in a statement like...

I and notable Calvinists, such as John MacArthur and Phil Johnson, teach that this perspective is tending to hyperism and is not orthodox Reformed theology. They say no teaching should remove the 'offer' (or appeal) aspect of the gospel call to faith and repentance. I don't point that out...

Dude, you hammered God on that reply. Now, what do you think of Webster? You have them both on the ropes, now. Don't let up!

I apologize that was Willis who requested those verses. You commented on how he had grown right after that, so I confused the two of you. Well, since the verses weren't FOR YOU, then neither was this accusation...OBVIOUSLY. I was meaning to address the person who made the request. Still...

Obviously.....

Which part? The part where you asked for biblical verses to support our view regarding the heart condition? Or the part where you ignored the scriptures after we posted them? You claimed that the bible never teaches that man is responsible (or you said 'in control over') for the condition of...

I'm not Winman, obviously, but this is NOT what most of us believe. If God wanted to effectually saved someone, He could. He can make stones worship Him too, but what he SEEKS is those who worship him in spirit and in truth. He desires for people to choose to trust Him, not for rocks made...

You asked a question and it was answered. You didn't like the answer, so you moved on. It's pretty evident.

Because they deserve it? Does their repentance EARN or MERIT the welcome? Or is that Welcome all of Grace?

All conveniently ignored.

I never said a believing repentance individual WOULD be sent to hell, I said they still deserve it. They didn't earn mercy or grace by repentance and faith. Faith and repentance never merit salvation. Please carefully read what I write before making such claims. Thanks Since you haven't got...

Amen............

I wouldn't say "control" because that carries the wrong connotation for some. But clearly we are responsible for the condition of our hearts...as typically the 'heart' is known as the seat of the emotion or will of man. 1 Corinthians 7:37 But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being...

I agree that salvation is 100% of God, I just don't fall for the erroneous presumption that a gift has to be irresistibly applied for the giver to receive full credit for giving the gift.

How so? I never said that you stalk me, or anything of the kind. I restated the facts of what happened. I quote the Lord and the Dictionary, then you vehemently apposed what the Lord and the dictionary said. You did it over and over for a few pages, as I didn't even give my personal view...
