I know his public life, just as all here do.

Alter call??? What's that? Chapter and verse, please.

This is thin on biblical references, and your own words. Any reason for interacting in this manner?

I would not grant you that.

Do you have any thoughts of your own on the matter, because a discussion forum works best when many people share their own thoughts and words.

We respond to HIS invitation. He does not respond to ours. He is the initiator, and this is fundamental, and why Arminians-Pelagians are wrong. They are foundationaly and fundamentally wrong.

Your words and actions, and lack of them, actually do.

Many say that Hawking was a brilliant man. God says he was a fool.

Hank, you are scaring me. Do you believe that Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and that no man comes to the Father except though Him?

Yes, Hank. Christians can be sure. That is our belief. Maybe you don't share it, but it is a Christian idea that only those who are "in Christ" will be spared judgement and obtain eternal life with Christ.

You said this: But I love the sense of picking up renewed Holy Spirit around an altar of prayer. My question is not regarding how you fel but what specifically this, "picking up renewed Holy Spirit around an altar of prayer" is. Please unpack what it, how it works, and where in the Bible we are...

The image reminds me of my childhood in the Roman Catholic Church. Both groups have little in common, or so it would initial seem, but both groups don't seem to recognize that Christ grants pardons to sinners freely and without cost. There is no need to beg and plead for the gift of God in...

Calvin's Institutes, first chapter, touches on our knowledge of self and out knowledge of God. That's a different subject, but it is helpful in answering the OP. 1. OUR wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God...

What does this mean, and what is the biblical backing for it, if any? Thanks.
