I'm talking about the immediate context of the natural man verses. You went to the next chapter, where Paul does discuss the foolish wisdom of the world.

Let me know which translation you would accept.

Quote the verse you think is saying this. Particularly, the "of the world" part. I believe you added that.

From the TGP article: "The researchers said the lower “viral load” could mean that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is getting weaker. But the researchers also noted that it is unclear what is causing the lower viral load." I'm guessing, though, an apology to TGP is not...

Would it be fair then to say you don't believe in total depravity? Do you believe in original sin? The fall?

I think you're right that it's not all. I do think some do. But I was speaking more in regard to the agency of Adam and Satan. OTists believe God knew of the possibility of their fall, but not specifically if it would happen. Calvinists (some) believe God not only knew about it because he...

I like this guy. I don't believe he's a conservative, but he often speaks hard truths. BLM is anti-christian, anti-family. More and more are seeing this.

Okay, so that confirms my initial thought. Calvinists, like open theists, don't believe it is logically possible for God to foresee a libertarian decision. As a result, OTists deny exhaustive foreknowledge, and Calvinists deny libertarian freewill. My view is, God can foreknow a libertarian...

It's one view that doesn't violate the specific and explicit order given in the text. You may disagree with the conclusion, but denying the text itself is far worse.

Race hoaxes are good evidence racism is in short supply in America.

Yes, but specifically, could He know of a decision made specifically by a free agent—someone acting of libertarian freewill? Or do you consider that an irrational impossibility? BTW, I agree with the above. All outcomes are approved by God. Everything that happens passes through his will...

When the passage says predestined unto justification and glorification? Um, yeah. Being saved is one of the many things we're predestined to. You can't just deny a straightforward passage if it doesn't fit your theology.

Is an offer you can't hear or know about a real offer? If I said to you that I offered you a million dollars, whispering it thousands of miles away, would you consider that a real offer?

The immediate context of the passage itself. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. Paul is speaking about the saving faith that comes from...

Quite obviously, a lost person. One not yet drawn by the supernatural.

If this is truly what called means, then the passage says, those foreknown are predestined and those predestined are called by the Gospel. That means only those are predestined hear the Gospel. That's problematic if you believe all are enlightened by the Gospel and all can hear the Gospel and...

Shocked. :Unsure

The Police are God's primary minister for protection. I believe Jesus also spoke of self protection to his disciples, telling them to buy a weapon (a sword). But we are in real trouble if we allow police to be abolished. I don't believe our society will let that happen. Minneapolis: Black...

When something is written clearly like Romans 8:29-30, I believe I use the right word. You cannot get out of the sequence Paul lays out. Impossible. You have go back and rethink your theories. My suggestion is, study the word "called." It occurs before justification and glorification. He...
