Soteriology vs. Eschatology? This is perhaps more a question than anything, but, I'm framing it as a critique. It seems to me that there is some tendency to confuse the purpose of national Israel as a matter of Soteriology and as a matter of Eschatology. As a Pre-trib Dispy....I agree (as...

Ask God for what you WANT!!! Name it and claim it. Look at what Moses said to God when God CLEARLY told Moses that he was going to forget his promise to Abraham and build a Nation through Moses.... One thing Moses NEVER said was "If it be thy will" or "Thy will be done"...he argued with God...

Yes....I wasn't questioning YOU personally of course...I was just making the point for others. We agree, the Holy Ghost will never guide us in any way which is contrary to Scripture!

Your post makes some great points....but what if I advised....forget the Holy Spirit...and just follow the Scriptures, because The Holy Spirit will AlWAYS and ONLY encourage us to do that which is in accord with Holy Writ. Stop listening to the Holy Spirit....He will do his job. He does it...

Your OP is VERY Open-ended. You are asking about 35 different questions all of which should be dealt with separately. It is wrong thinking to think that, say, "smoking" and "drinking" are even answered by the same passages of Scripture, because they aren't.... Similarly, the whole "cards"/...

:applause::applause: This Website disgusts me. I've perused it before. The creator of this website literally warms himself/herself to stories of failures by IFB's. If there's an obscure Baptist Pastor somewhere who falls prey to sin....they'll find out about it and revel in it for days...

Oh, absolutely. I still go to an IFB Church. If for no other reason than hearing a preacher quote an NIV from the pulpit literally sounds like fingernails on a chalk-board to me :tongue3: It just does. That, and I prefer the Independent Missions model. We KNOW which missionaries we support...

This statement by Mr. Taylor is absolutely insane. Torrey is correct here: That is no issue, the problem is when an IFB or anyone else preaches as dogma and incontrivertible fact that his own P.O.V. on the topic is "Truth"....IF you are to do so...then you do indeed need a verse where the...

The Apostle Paul prayed for the salvation of others, as Greek pointed out. That passage is in Romans chapter 10. vs. 1

Nvm...Wisdom suggests that I should retract.

No...it's REALLY not. It might be given Wesleyan assumptions...but Calvinists don't hold to those: This line of argument...that Calvinists teach a "works" basis for "perseverance".. is, just, not in fact true... I'll nail Calvies any way I can: But, I'll be intellectually honest when I do...

That NEVER happened in this thread...it is dis-ingenuous for you to suggest as much.

HUH???? Much as I would LOVE to find any random cheap dig to diss Calvinism...I can't FATHOM how someone could think that the "P" of TULIP...(Perseverence) is even remotely works-based... Trust me, I'll sniff out any anti-Calvie stuff I can find... what is so insipid about the creatures is...

Correct....I think the assumption that it was not from God is unwarranted. I believe it was.

Archangel: Then again....I wouldn't really use John 3:16 to make an Arminian argument anyways. EVEN IF..."Whosoever Believeth" is accurate, that doesn't serve as a defeater for Calvinism anyways. Calvinism can easily be understood as consistent with a rendering of "Whosoever Believes"...

Two quick thoughts: Satan didn't merely "inspire" Judas to betray Jesus...he possessed him. I think the question is, Why do you believe that it doesn't make sense that that dream was from God? I see no reason to assume that. I think your confusion may dissapear if you let go that assumption...

It is a remarkable book...If it were 20 years younger, it would be worth about a million dollars! :laugh: It appraises for about 600-700$ It was actually printed by assignment by the King's Printer (John Bill) and is in pretty good condition (They made books with quality then) On the front...

There are forms of KJVO who take a doctrinal position along the lines of the KJV being Divinely "Preserved"...and they take exception to the idea that the translators were "inspired"....They would say that there is an essentially perfect body of manucripts available that we can count on with...

It's a joke....you don't have to prove to us that you are more open-minded than the rest of us....We'll go ahead and concede that to you ok :) This post is nothing but you handing us your personal "I'm open-minded and enlightened" resume' and we all get it ok :thumbsup:

Are people saying that scaring people about the reality of hell is NOT a legitimate warning for preachers to engage? I think that it is not only effective and right, but it is also clearly Biblical: Jud 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: Jud 1:23 And others save with...
