Also, Why would the same God tell His created to make a choice if there was no choice to be made? Does this same God like toying with His created in that way?

Good point. That would be the T in TULIP which I was not able to conclude in my twenty years of scripture study. So I reject the belief of Calvin's Total Depravity.

I don't think that it is a dance. I don't think the Genesis example is comparable at all. If I said to you, I have created you and I have the sovereign power to save you or destroy you, and in My sovereignty I am offering you the freedom to choose between these two paths, in My sovereignty I...

Just think of all the competing beliefs just between Christians. Why do Christians do what Paul admonished us not to do? "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly...

Since not all are saved does not make Gods call ineffective. For He has made the way and has given us a choice.

You could separate it into segments. But I was suggesting having read all of the Bible, with only the Holy Spirit of God as your teacher.

That is so interesting. When the Holy Spirit called me into bible study, I poured over the scriptures daily crying out to God for wisdom that I may know the truth so I could teach others correctly. I came to reject all points of Calvinism except for OSAS. So I studied scripture and came to...

Could you give a list of heavens law for us that Christians must keep or be damned to hell?

The purpose of one teaching a Christian will be going through the tribulation is part of the "You better be found each day obeying the Law or you will be damned to hell".

...If you never heard or listened to any opinions about Jesus or declarations on beliefs and ONLY read through the bible's historical letters/books? Could you really come to pure conclusions without letting commentaries and preaching that you have heard bias your conclusions?

I wouldn't have any problem with that message if the Gospel was also preach at the same time. Like he could open and end his broadcast with.... For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jhn 3:17...

Never thought of that. I remember him now, back when I was a child, the Hour of Power. Never was lead to salvation through him though. It took Billy Graham's preaching to do that.

I don't think I ever heard him preach from the scriptures. The times I listened to him in the past and all the snips I hear now all sound exactly the same. It's like he found a hundred different ways to say the same thing over and over. I hate to sound mean but the guy bores me to death. Yet...

Am i being mean and judgmental to a brother in Christ by saying I can't stand his "preaching" ? I have to turn it off as quickly as I can whenever it comes on. Is God behind him or not?

It seems you are insisting that Hank rightly identifies as a Protestant. No? Which would be the equivalent of a black man today identifying as a slave. Maybe I am misunderstanding you....

Amen! No glory in this world among men, but Jesus allows us to share in His pleasure of bringing people to Himself, both through preaching and teaching the Gospel.

By the grace of God I was saved through the preaching by Billy Graham at age ten. The reason Jesus Christ had so much success through Billy Graham is because Graham kept his preaching focused on faith alone in Jesus Christ as the only way to God. Discipleship and Sanctification follows and...

If that is what you want to go with, it's your reputation on display for the board. I offered you an intelligent debate. I'm fine with the outcome if that is your stand.

It's not my answer, it is yours. The onus is on YOU to interpret your own answer.

You apparently have not discussed this with any SDA members. Ask one if eating pork is a sin and will condemn a Christian to hell and you will get Isaiah 66:16-17, which is a shouting "YES" according to their misapplication of this scripture.
