They certainly wasn't calling men to come to a piece of wood to be saved where they ?

I never said anything about not preaching the gospel at a funeral and I also don't agree in replacing the gospel with a celebration of life ceremony but even if the gospel is preached the speaker almost always say's things like this, Don't you want to go be with _____ when you die ? or the only...

The scripture say's the sorrow of the world worketh death. It is not appropriate to give a altar call at a funeral. This is a time of natural grieving, which is not a godly sorrow that leaded to salvation. You come to Christ when you are convicted of your sins not because a love one has died and...

Steaver when a person starts listening to voices or even his own conscience instead of the word of God the devil will have a field day. Steaver you are like a pen hooker at a cattle sale. You prod people with your free will stick until they kick back and then you try to play innocent.

Also to add to the discussion, In St. John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; but the darkness comprehended it not. The natural man is in darkness as to understanding the spiritual things of God 1 Cor 2:14, Eph 4:18. he just don't understand them or comprehend them.

The scripture say's, because their deeds were evil.

God speaks to us by his word, be careful, the devil may be whispering in your ear and telling you Calvinism is wrong.

Gambling is addictive, I know of plenty of fathers that threw their check across the table on Friday night as his wife and children did without groceries during the week. The sin of covetousness is tied up with gambling. Had you rather be satisfied with what God gives you or risk what you have...

You are right Icon, scripture does not speak of love from God to Angels. I was assuming in my post.

IMO the angels that fell and Satan himself were not in the heaven of heavens where Gods throne was. In Isa 14:12 the scripture says, How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer. But in the thirteenth verse scripture says For thou hast said in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my...

preachTony quote : [As I stated to Icon the other day, the nature of God as revealed in Christ Jesus, and as I see in the scripture, does not reveal a God who would willing pass over His lost creation without giving them a chance. To say that "what Christ did was not for all sinners, but the...

I have heard Kenneth Copland say in the past that Christ had faith when he went to the cross that someone would believe and accept him. The problem with this theory is Christ would be putting his faith in what man would do instead of what He, Christ would do.

Either you believe the love scriptures I put up were to the whole world, none excluded or you believe those scriptures are to the elect. So do you believe God changes concerning his love in that he hates one day and loves the next ?

I believe the elect were ever loved of the father from the foundation of the world. The scripture say's, Jer 31:3 I have loved thee with an everlasting love: Therefore in loving kindness have I drawn thee. Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ...

So according to Luke 12:48 a person would be better off if he were born and raised and lived and died in some remote corner of the earth where Christ and the gospel is never mentioned than to live in America where the gospel is preached continually ??? What would be the use of missionary...

Most people that have been in a works doctrine all their life have found a comfort zone. The fleshly man loves to believe that it can attribute to his own salvation. They feel that God cannot do without them. To believe totally in the sovereign grace of God for salvation goes again the grain of...

Calling people a group of zombies is not having a godly compassion for souls.

Steaver, do you really believe God is sovereign, do you believe this verse ? Dan 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand or say unto him, What...

The door is open to all that will come in. God does not restrict, man restricts himself. Psa 14:2-3 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none...

I have been in services of every free will church denomination that can be named and have never heard them mention the word sovereign grace. Before I started reading Spurgeon sermons I too had never heard the word. The two churches I now attend go by sovereign grace, the word Calvinist is never...
