    "predestinated"

    Brother, I look up Greek words sometimes but, I was born in an English-speaking country to English-speaking parents and by the providence of God a sufficient Bible was translated into this language circa 1611. Then on May, 11, 1986, I heard a sermon on the passage below, the Church sang "Love...

    "predestinated"

    That reminds me of a contention you and I had earlier about how God "get the message to them somehow" or something to that effect; remember? I'm sorry I failed to elaborate then, I will show an example of when this was actually done.......and what I want you to pay attention to is WHAT was...

    "predestinated"

    So, when you do sin, are you "dragged" away toward that sin? James 1:14 – But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Sir, God saved me through preaching from a King James Bible. That's all I know. I don't read or understand Greek. But I can comprehend just...

    "predestinated"

    No, I said YOU were being dishonest. About the verse: God does not "drag" "all men". If he did, everyone would be saved. No sir,He draws(tugs) at the heart of all men by the record of what He did on Calvary and by His Holy Spirit which convinces the world of sin, righteousness and judgment...

    The Rich Young Ruler

    I also believe the rich young ruler could certainly have been saved, later, for three reasons. #1. He already wanted to "have eternal life" #2. He "went away sorrowful". Even though he went out from Jesus' presence, the encounter was obviously still working on him. #3. "With God all things are...

    I didn't say it was dishonest.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Me too, bro. Be safe.

    "predestinated"

    You claim there's a "universal call" but only those "enabled" can answer? That's dishonest, sir.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Right! Actually, that "new nature", "the Spirit", cannot sin, because he is "born of God". If we "walk in the Spirit" we "shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh", the Bible says.. Unfortunately, we walk too much in the flesh.

    "Glory"

    A certain well-known Calvinist says that God ordains some to judgment and that God controls the events of History to maximize His glory. I'm not going to quote him exactly at this time. The glory of God was displayed in Jesus' miracles, it was shown in his disciples/saints, it was displayed on...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    #1 Because we who are saved are chastened. God chastises and judges His own, even to the point of physical death. #2 If we fail to do His will it affects others, including our loved ones. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath...

    "predestinated"

    Did God remove your "stony heart" or is it still there, sinning from time to time when you're "walking in the flesh"? yes or no. The "stony heart" verse is about Israel bro. You have one(1) heart sir. And it is with that heart that you choose to deny that God's salvation is offered to all. That...

    "predestinated"

    Once again. Do you still have evil thoughts? Do you still sin? Since the answer is "yes", how can you do so if your"stony heart" has been "taken out of your flesh"? Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their...

    "predestinated"

    Yes that is true. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit aka "the Comforter" will convince the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. That means He convicts sinners of their sin, God's righteousness and God's judgment. . As to our sin; we are dead in trespasses and sins with no hope. As to God's...

    "predestinated"

    All that stuff in the Book of Ezekiel about the "heart of flesh", I do not understand all of it. But it is concerning the Nation of Israel. I won't go into it now. Please consider the following which definitely does concern individuals who have been saved and "regenerated"....... Romans 7 13Was...

    Um, no. You answer, then I will. Do you ever have evil thoughts?

    And you never have an evil thought, bro?

    "predestinated"

    Which of your hearts did it happen in? The one you have now which has evil thoughts? Mat 15:19 - For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
