Bummer :)

Thank you for your reply. John 3:3 "Except a man be born again (from above), he cannot SEE the kingdom of God" John 6:40 And this is the will of Him that sent me, that everyone which SEETH the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day. Heb...

Who was exercising the faith of Abraham other than Abraham? Heb 11:4 BY FAITH, Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that HE WAS RIGHTEOUS at that time, God testifying of his gifts, and by it being dead yet speaketh. He was righteous at that time and...

Just waiting for you to accuse me of hate speech. You are not going to try to use the victim card on me are you?

A valid point made by myself in that you either did not see or avoided responding to post #120

NOWHERE did I say or even insinuate as you said "filthy rag faith was found to be righteous". My point is that we are made alive in Christ and that our faith in Christ will be rightly directed by the Holy Spirit and "that not of ourselves, it is a gift of God". Worthless faith is not a...

You must have not read my post #120

Does not the sentence contain the point of what you obviously said. Had I quoted your whole post , it would not have made any difference.

How can a righteous or rightly directed faith come out of one who is unrighteous and without the right direction of the Holy Spirit? Matthew 7:18 tells us "A good tree cannot bring forth evil (by unrighteous or misdirected faith) fruit, neither can a corrupt tree (possessing unrighteous or...

Van said "If God instilled via Irresistible Grace, the "Gift of Faith" He would have to choose who to instill that faith in. EXACTLY

I have already addressed your Romans posts. They returned to the Lord with the WHOLE heart (Jeremiah 24:7) which is the new heart of Ezekiel 36:26 by which they are FULLY PERSUADED that through Christ they might love the Lord their God with all (WHOLE) their (NEW) heart, soul, strength, might...

Why would God command his people to be holy but not give them the life of Christ by which they would be made alive and enabled to be holy by that very life. We are made holy by Christ that we might walk in his ways in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Lord does not command his people to do...

1 Peter 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you, (the gentiles) vs 11 searching what or what matter of time the Spirit of Christ WHICH WAS IN THEM did signify, when it did witness beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and...

How can the lost seek God without the Holy Spirit's guidance or understanding? Quite a stretch my brother. Is the justification of Isa 54:17 without the righteousness of Christ, the Just One? We are justified BECAUSE we have the life of Christ in us. (Gal 2:20) It is his righteous life that we...

Thanks for the reply Bro Marprelate. If this needs to be a separate post that will be fine. I agree with your point of faith toward and in respect of Christ There still seems to be a distinction between the "faith in Christ" and "faith of Christ" with the faith of Christ being that he...

Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This the heritage of the servants of the Lord and THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS (GIVEN) OF ME, saith the Lord. Remember all the OT verses that say I WILL GIVE...

37818- I will freely admit that I don't know the first dot about Greek neither do I intend to study it. I see enough misinterpretations with it that I will leave it to my more learned brethren. Brother Marprelate has more than covered your question to me. My question to you is since disposed...

Thank you for your reply. I am unable to understand what you mean by your statement that Gill was a calvinist. Just because he held to the doctrines of grace does not automatically nullify his commentary and to do so would be unwise. The use of the phrases "were disposed to" or "were ordained...

Adapted from John Gill Commentary. and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. faith is not the cause or condition of the decree of eternal life, but a means fixed in it, and is a fruit and effect of it, and what certainly follow upon it, as in these persons; some would have the...
