According to your Calvinist teacher(s), whom I am currently reading about via this enlightening criticism of your doctrines, you all teach that God predestines people to sin. Thus, aka, God makes people sin. You say God chooses people to be saved, so why would you not say that God chooses which...

The man WAS saved because He had faith that God would make his blind eyes see. How is that not in accordance with his salvation? My analogy is, thus then, that a man's will to have faith in Jesus' work grants that man salvation by God DUE to his faith! So what you are saying... is that that...

I'd also like to pose the question to the Calvinists whether or not their beliefs state, according to them, that God is perfectly Good yet He ordains and plans the atrocities and sins in the lives of mankind? If so, I would like to say that that is a clear contradiction between a Good God and...

I'm enjoying reading the discussion/debate about this controversal topic in the Christian community. As for me, as most of you know, I believe we choose God via our free-will choice when we choose to believe upon Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. I'll throw this story out from John to...

Has anyone ever worked for them or been sent out as missionaries? I'm talking about paid missionaries, not volunteer. I am thinking about joining them after I get my BS in Evangelism. But what is it like? How do they send you out? Do you get a choice of where you could go? I'd really like to...

So you're saying God chooses where to throw the seeds, okay, fine. But the seeds that prosper and the seeds that die are describing a man's choice he makes, based on the influences around them.

Wrong again. Look at the parable of the great supper: The Parable of the Great Banquet 15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” 16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet...

Hm, from knowing right from wrong and choosing to do wrong despite knowing right? I"m not quite sure. That is deep thinking there. What do you think?

It seems the only level-headed believers here are myself, Barry Johnson, and Van,. Thank you brothers for having my back.

I have been perfectly civil, It's not my fault you don't like being proven wrong. The gospel is necessary for salvation, and all have a chance to hear it. Indeed, all have the ability to hear it today, or read it, in some fashion. Do I think all people heard the Gospel in all of history? No...

The human spirit is corrupt from birth due to sin, but once a sinner realizes he is a sinner and repents and trusts Jesus, God gives a new heart, a heart of flesh, taking out he heart of stone, so then we are no longer condemned, but saints in Christ and low, children of God. :)

For God so LOVED THE WORLD, that He sent His only begotten son. Yup. That sounds like everyone.

I don't take orders from anyone but God, so don't go on telling me what I should and should not do. I have provided my scriptural support, pointed out how ya'lls scripture evidence is out of context, and give you simple analogies to depict a just, all-powerful and merciful God, while you choose...

All hail TULIP and our God and Savior Calvin. That's all I hear these people saying. Sigh. I will stand on the Word of God and that is that. :)

Already answered that question, you just chose to ignore it. He shows mercy to those who repent and believe upon His son. Everyone has the chance to. Everyone. Period.

Others did not because they CHOSE not to. Obviously. :P

I already told you my answer. God is revealed in His creation, if the men who know in their hearts there is a God and do not seek Him out, then yes, they are lost. And there is NOTHING AT ALL special about me, or anyone else. My faith in Jesus is counted to me as righteousness and God gets all...

I have not considered your utonomous will, but it is intriguing. I'm glad you are one of the few on this board who agree with the points I made. Praise God brother. :) And I think the very same hardness of heart is being done today for those who are misguided in false teachings. It is very sad...

Great job quoting my posts twice. And bolding, as if that makes any of what you say true or of God. I just have to say to you: re-study scipture. Because you're taking John 15 out of context WAY bad. my friend. He was talking about choosing the twelve specifically, not men who are saved, but to...

You're very mislead. Responding to God in faith is NOT A WORK. A work is doing something good, having faith in someone is not doing something good, you can have faith that the devil is real and wants to torture you for all eternity, that is not good now is it? That's satanic in fact. So faith is...
