My God IS love..........

No, but the "voice" of Psalm 29, the same one which cried, "LAZARUS COME FORTH!!!!!", is more than powerful enough for the dead to hear. I "heard" it.

Again, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. A lost man doesn't just decide one day to have faith. He hears the Gospel, and believes the word of God.

No, it's not about our will being stronger than God's. God wants us to have the choice so this process is His will. Why do people still go to Hell? I don't know the answer to that. The Bible does say they love darkness. But the Bible also tells me to "trust in the Lord...and lean not to my own...

Not according to my post you just read, He isn't. Did you read all of the post?

"You sir, are a lowdown, vile and hateful wicked sinner. You deserve Hell. But God loves you so much that He gave His only begotten Son to die on the Cross in your place. If you don't give your heart to Jesus, you are going to burn in the Lake of Fire for all of Eternity for being a heinous...

I personally believe that we all deserve Hell too. But this isn't about believing that "all deserve grace and mercy": it's about the very character of God Almighty. Forget the "what if's" : God knew from the very beginning that we would all be sinners so He ordained the sacrifice of His only...

Good illustration. If someone had already told you JonC, "capacitors can hold a charge and can shock you", and you took their word for it with proper precautions, that would be "faith". You chose to take them at their word, believing what they said. God has not appeared to you in physical form...

Oh, no sir. That isn't it at all. He alone holds the consequences of our choices. Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them...

No sir, God is not "impotent". He is Almighty, TCassidy, and He doesn't want to have to put any human being in Hell but wants all to repent. Tell me, How does......."wants all to repent", jive with your "only chooses certain ones to be saved"?

No sir, the first scripture I quoted, Matthew 23:37 plainly tells us that Jesus wanted them to do something........... but they wanted otherwise. The second verse I quoted 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that God does not want any to perish.........and wants all to repent And the third verse I quoted 1...

Ok, fair enough, enlighten me. Which of the two "wills" was this one? Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and...

I'll speak for him: He's suggesting none of the three. What he's asking is: If you say that God's will is "irresistible" at the point of salvation. why is it resistible by the Calvinist after the Calvinist gets saved? Is that right brother? Or something to that effect?

Yes, it seems they think that unless God controled every little detail, or if something "thwarted" "overpowered" or "frustrated" His will, He would be "weak". I will tell you on the authority of the Word of God, that God does NOT want "Calvinists" to sin. Bu they sin just like everybody else. Is...

No sir, that's not what I meant.

Yes, and I also said............ "And he[God] gave everyone the capacity for faith in something or we wouldn't have folk believing in Allah, Buddah, Krishna etc." And that verse is talking about God's dispersing of "gifts" to believers. Sir, concerning salvation, God's will is that every man be...

And what is wrong with using colored text to make it easier to distinguish my answer to each point?

Well, yeah bro. That's what I was talking about. Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Ok, once again, let's take it from the top. This is what I believe...

I have been. What's the problem you're seeing?

Since I started this thread, may I interject here? The Bible speaks of Jesus saying things like "and when he saw 'her faith', 'his faith' and 'their faith'". I'm going to say that God gave EVERYONE the capacity for "faith" just like He gave us two hands, two legs and a brain. How you USE it is...
