In ancient times, when a king wanted to conquer a city, he would send word to the inhabitants, give them the opportunity to surrender and open the gate, or be besieged and destroyed. Psalm 24:7-10 King James Version (KJV) 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting...

His compassions fail not, the Bible says. Jesus did not fail to die for every human being who lived, lives, or ever will live; even Hitler. Hitler failed. Jesus doesn't fail. The real Jesus of the Bible is the King of Glory. (Psalm 24:7-10) Open your "everlasting door" and He will come in. No...

Hold on a minute, you said this............. The burden of proof is on you to provide evidence for that one.

14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16For who hath known the mind of the Lord...

"Autonomy" isn't the issue I have with Calvinism: on the contrary, it's the depiction of the perfect, Holy, righteous, omnipotent, omnipresent God as being someone with limited love. Because that isn't Biblical.

John 3:2-8 "......born of the Spirit." John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the...

Bro. Cassidy, with the above quote, you just answered a post in which I said this..... If that isn't a work of God I don't know what is. Sir, when a man truly believes the Word of God, the Holy Ghost comes IN to his heart instantly and makes him a new creature. Old things are passed away...

Yep, the first guy hauled truckloads of his wares and the other was addicted to Java. bad guys.

Unbiblical. No man comes to Jesus except the Spirit draw him. The difference is: I believe that means "attracts" while a Calvinist thinks it means "drags". Here's an example........Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Do...

Let's back up and include some context........ 2 Thessalonians 2 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall...

Correct, all sinners are dead, the Bible says. They're dead in trespasses and in sins and because the don't have the Spirit of God living in them. But the Bible says that "the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God". That fact was illustrated and demonstrated one day when Jesus cried...

The Bible says that ".....the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. And the Bible says that the MIghty "King of Glory" came to this earth and "declared the Father"; that is, demonstrated the very nature of God, by going to the cross...

Satan believes there is a God alright. But He doesn't TRUST in God. Big difference.

I've been accused here of having a "weak" and "impotent" God. Well, God is love, the Bible says, and I believe it is the essence and core of His being. Jesus (God the Son) even told us that we are to even love our enemies so that we can "be like our Father in Heaven". Just how powerful is...

Why did Jesus willingly suffer on the cross?

1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. You can't know the things of God until you get "born of the Spirit", otherwise you're just like a man who hears the wind but can't...

Well, I have to admit; you did just stir me up and whenever that happens I always run to the Word of God.........2Pe 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: Did Peter get inside their heads and make them remember? or...

You're the one who "switched" bro.

No, I'm not talking about whether something "occurs" or not. read what I said again please.......... Proverbs 16:9 "A man's heart deviseth his way............" God does not control what we "devise" in our hearts....

That's a where you are wrong. So, I will quote a verse I have already shown you guys more than once in these threads........ Read it this time....... Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. The Kings of Babylon and Assyria "devised" in their own hearts to...
