The Bible says that God has revealed "the things of God" and even "the Godhead" through nature. Beyond that, I don't have a specific answer. Let me do some studying on that one.

The Bible mentions, in Genesis chapter 4. "men began to call upon the name of the Lord". That's all I know to tell you at this point. But we do know that all of the men mentioned in Genesis 5 were "the sons of God" mentioned in chapter 6, and were direct ancestors in the lineage of Christ. They...

Psalm 23 1{A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the...

Job 38 1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast...

The way I understand it, believers in the OT were looking forward to the coming savior. They may have known only a few details, to varying degrees, but it has always been by faith; never of works.

I made the following statements in this thread...... This may not have been worded exactly as TCassidy would have it worded, but this is essentially what "particular redemptionists" aka "Calvinists" teach. And my second statement was this....... This is absolutely true as well. According to...

"Calvinism" teaches that God chose to save certain individuals, before the foundation of the world, to the exclusion of all the rest. And the trouble with "Arminianism"(among other things I'm sure) is that a person can be saved, then later lost again. I reject them BOTH as false doctrines.

If it tries to stick it's nose to anything that's trouble enough. Sometimes my wife and grandchildren hang out in my store and I'm responsible for their safety. So if anyone tries to walk in with something like a "pit bull" type dog they will immediately be asked to leave. I can ask the "powers...

A "deacon" is supposed to be the "husband of one wife". Kind of hard for a woman to fill that requirement.

Romans 4 King James Version (KJV) 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now...

As in "determinism"? Absolutely not.

Absolutely! It's God's will that ALL come to repentance. And when you get "born again" it was because of His will. Completely.

That, is not the issue with me and I'm not trying to 'take credit"(which is works). If I were, I would join the "Arminians", Pentecostals or SDA's. The issue I take with y'all is what your doctrine does to the character of God. Instead of the God who "so loved the world" He is presented as the...

Yes, that's what we're talking about; the 'real deal'.

Righteousness is "imputed" to a person because of his faith in Christ and His finished work on Calvary, end of story. see Romans chapter 4, especially 4:20-25

The "emotional support" junk has gotten way out of hand. People are claiming they have a "service animal", when they really don't, and people are getting hurt. People have just gone nuts over animals. No matter if the dog IS or IS NOT a "service animal" it should be muzzled on an airplane...

But.....only 2 dogs at one time. :)

Ok, you're right, it does say ":after". I would say "immediately after", like, a split second. Anyway, certainly not "before" lol. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed...

I said "the moment". The "particular redemptionists"(aka "calvinists") are the ones who say it comes "before faith". They somehow equate "regeneration" with "enabling"(or other terms)

Jesus has always existed. The worlds were made by Him. He was the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" the Bible says. He is the "I AM" who was "before Abraham",and walked with the three Hebrew children int he midst of the fiery furnace,. Men "called upon the name of the Lord" back in...
