It follows that because Jesus died, and God can't die, that in His humanity Jesus was capable of things that deity is incapable of. There are all manner of things Jesus was capable of in His humanity that deity is not susceptible to, as already noted. Blindly repeating the "deity isn't capable...

I'd be a bit more careful with my words if I were you. Scripture says Jesus made Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and came in the likeness (image) of mortal man. Do you want to try telling Him that He engaged in "myopic drivel" in so doing? Wait, first let...

You seem to be trying to say something here but I can't figure out what it is. If you agree that the faith of Abraham credited by God as righteousness was not his saving faith, then your oft-repeated claim that saving faith gets credit for righteousness needs other Scriptures than those talking...

At what point was Jesus not alive? At no point is the eternal God able to die, right? If Jesus did not die and was not resurrected from the dead, your faith is in vain and you are yet in your sins (1 Corinthians 15:17).

I have never claimed God "chooses us by reason of our faith." God predicates salvation on whether or not we choose to receive His grace through belief in His Son. I specifically stated this to AustinC in the Balaam thread last month. Do you disagree? Falsely attributing words and ideas to...

Not sure I follow the argument made in the article, since the app can be downloaded for either Android or iOS directly from Parler.com - doesn't matter that Google or Apple don't offer it in their app stores, people just need to shut off autopilot, think and look around a little.

Accusation without explanation. Not hard to see why, no valid arguments being available.

Totally agree with you there, although I haven't seen anyone present such a view here. Again, happy to agree, but no such claim has been made. Instead of attacking straw men, why not answer the challenges to your view that were actually presented? I'd rather hear you explain how Abraham's...

Already asked and answered. Jesus is not talking about salvation.

Scripture is never invalid, but someone's interpretation and application of it certainly can be. No defense of the erroneous confusion of Abraham's faith in God's promise (and the associated crediting of righteousness to Abraham by God) with initial salvation has been offered here. That, of...

You're attempting to make a distinction without a difference, and your response fails to take any responsibility for the multiplied posts quoted above. Your claim about God crediting faith in connection with salvation is manifestly wrong, and you offer not a single valid passage of Scripture to...

You're kidding, right? "... referring to those that heard the gospel and believed in Jesus Christ, and whose faith God crediting as righteousness, and therefore set apart in Christ." -- #1 in Saints thread "... we enter that corporate sphere when God individually credits our faith as...

I fully agree, context is very important. What did the young man ask in Mark 10:17? "What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answers in Mark 10:21 - "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.” If inheriting eternal life...

From one of the first links: “The Calvinistic mind sees election as bringing about the transition from unbelief to belief, hence making unbelievers the object of election. The Arminian says that this transition is made by a free act of will; election then is an act of God directed toward the...

Here is the answer written with a bigger Crayola. What are the adjectives? Total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, perseverance of the saints. If Scripture teaches these points only without the modifiers, what have I said? "Scripture supports depravity...

Again, this grace was given AFTER Adam responded to God's call and confessed his nakedness and sin, not before. I am observing Paul's point, which is that all the spiritual blessings we have in the heavenly places are ours "in Him." We are not "in Him" until we "hope in Christ," and hearing...

I clearly answered your TULIP question in the Redemption thread (#65). Unsurprisingly you do not seem to have understood any part of that post, especially the numerous Scriptures which refute your faulty understanding of faith and righteousness, just as here you obviously don't understand what...

You have yet to type a question mark anywhere up to this point in the thread. "Ye have not because ye ask not." I'm not the one changing Jesus' words from "kingdom of heaven" to eternal salvation, my friend. That's you. Answer my question and I will gladly answer yours.

I agree with and affirm all of that as stated, although I suspect we understand the basis for God's gracious actions differently. That is probably why you fail to address the faith mentioned in verses 12 through 15 of Ephesians 1 to which I specifically drew your attention. Sorry, that's...
