Yes sir. You are correct. the Bible does NOT say that God ordained them; read it for your self.

The King James uses the word "ordained". And notice that Acts 13:48 doesn't say who "ordained" these Gentiles. Very important......... Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. I have...

No I don't believe the first picture is what you're saying.. God did not hold a big hand in front of Felix's face so that he couldn't believe. Neither did God choose not to "enable him" (which is what you guys apparently do believe). But God's Holy Ghost DID speak to Felix's heart which made...

The way it works, is that the Comforter aka Spirit of Truth aka Holy Ghost convicts a person's heart of their Sin, God's Righteousness, and God's Judgement. (see John 15:26, John 14:26 and John 16:8) But regeneration only takes place if the heart believes. Read carefully the following...

Observe...... “No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.” ―John Calvin “God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of...

First let's understand that, the phrase "free will" isn't in the Bible; just like "sovereignty", "limited atonement" and "unconditional election" aren't. Next. let's agree on what "free will" means......... free will noun 1. free and independent choice; voluntary decision: You took on the...

Brotherman, I don't know what you're getting at, but a man only gets saved once, and it's a done deal.

I found these two quotes purported to be by John Calvin. The first one certainly appears to be sound. But the second contradicts it........... “No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from...

No sir, the serpent was "lifted up in the wilderness" for all snakebitten ones to see. But each person had to exercise the faith to "look" of their own volition. That, sir, is "unlimited" atonement: and you still don't see that?

I didn;t see the "Stephen" one, maybe i'll go back and find it later. But I thought his 'serpent on the pole", in the book of Numbers, was excellent knowledge of God's Word.. You see, in the Book of Numbers, God told Moses to make this serpent on a pole and God said that whoever simply looked on...

Not excusing our OP brother for "getting in the flesh" but......... A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. proverbs 15:1

Singing with my family....

Actually, it wasn't what they "did", But it was faith, taking God at his word, that kept them from dying. Likewise, "repentance" is also part of faith. But you're right, the responsibility was on them.

No sir, the "serpent on the pole" was offered by God to all who were bitten, thus God's offer was not limited at all. Likewise, God's offer of salvation is offered to the whole world, therefore it is not limited either. When you fail to "look" and believe, you limit only yourself whether it be...

No, the propitiation was given for the whole world. But only those who believe on Jesus Christ are saved. Back to the "serpent on the pole". It was put there for all of the snakebitten folks to look on and live, but only those who looked, lived. Only believe, bro. It ain't a "work" to believe...

No sir, The healing was unlimited. God certainly didn't limit it. He had Moses put the serpent on that pole for all who were bitten to look on. Read it bro. Unfortunately, some may not have looked: their fault. Now for verses 18-21.. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that...

Unfortunately, I don't read Greek. But the Bible I read says this....... 1 John 1:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Yes sir, 14 and 15 do go along with verse 16. They refer to Numbers chapter 21........... Numbers 21 6And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken...

Yes, the second one is false. How can they deny the first is beyond me.

I''m sorry that I clicked "agree" without reading your post more closely. No, this statement is NOT Biblical. We do not "perform the salvation of our soul". Salvation comes only from God.
