To add to the sermon I have heard free wills say Christ has done all that he can do, now it's left up to you. The bible is letters written to the church, the elect, the saved, not the wicked world. That is seemly what people cannot comprehend. The words world in John 3:16 and the words us and we...

Wineman, when you tell everyone that Christ died for them you are in danger of giving all of them a false hope. As a Cal to know that Christ died for me carries a lot of weight, Christ dying for me is my salvation. The free willers that have heard the message all their life that Christ died for...

Believe it or not there are many Cals in real life, maybe not on this board that are just as hard on non-cals as Wineman is on Cals. I have heard one say in the pulpit he hated Arminian's, and used the scripture Psa 139:22 where David said I hate them with a perfect hatred. I told my wife, a...

The atonement not only provided but most of all it accomplished salvation for sinners. St. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished.

I disagree. The atonement of blood for sin is a essential of the faith but both view the atonement in a different way. Is a atonement for everyone in the world a saving atonement ? No.

Verse seven. Usually the rich unrighteous person will see themselves dominate over the poor and exercise a rigorous, oppressive and tyrannical manner toward them. The borrower being under a obligation to the lender is forced to be in subjection to him and may have to put up with his attitude...

I think v 6 means if you train up a child by teaching them the gospel then this teaching will never depart from them even though they may reject it. 11 Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the Holy scripture which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in...

I believe these Pharisees knew full well who Christ was. Read Matt 21:38

In 1 John 5:16 the scripture mentions a sin unto death, if a person today cannot commit the sin against the Holy Ghost what is the sin unto death ?

In Matthew twelve it gives the account of the Pharisees telling Christ that he cast out devils by Beelzebub, so Christ told the Pharisees that speaking against the Holy Ghost would not be forgiven in this world or the world to come. Now, according to whatever circle you are in preachers give...

In post 201 I stated my own beliefs of the scripture before I had read either commentary. Both John Gill and Matthew Henry just happened to believe the same thing I do. James you are the first person I have ever heard of that said money was the interpretation of that scripture.

I read in Matthew Henrys commentary what he said about this same scripture and his was along the same line as John Gill. I think I will line up with these learned men of God rather than with James Who.

I partly disagree. I agree Rom 7 is describing a man after he is saved but it also is a honest description of a man that truly understands grace and by that understanding it gives him a true understanding of himself.

I wonder who has more weight with the body of Christ, you or John Gill ? As Cassius Clay once said of Leon Spinks, Leon who ? so in closing, James Who ?

A sheep has always been a sheep, even when he was a lost sheep. Luke 15:1-7. 11 Thes 2:13. God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation ect. Before a man was ever born in this world God chose a people in the covenant of grace. Eph 1: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the...

If people are to lazy to open their bible and read scripture stay at home. A remote for the lazy TV watchers now a big screen for the lazy church members.

Being confident of this very thing The reason of his thanksgiving, and of his making request with joy continually on the behalf of this church, was the confidence and full persuasion he had of this same thing, of which he could be as much assured as of any thing in the world: that he which...

I am with the op. What motivates the rewards people to witness, to do good works or anything is the reward. Years ago I was helping a man dig out a broken water line by the side of a free will preachers house. It was a hot day and I ask the free willer to please bring me a drink of water. Of...

Eternal security of the saints is a doctrine of grace. Free will is a doctrine of works. Salvation is either all of grace or all of works. It is like oil and water, it won't mix. It cannot be half of one and half of the other. It is grace from start to finish or works from start to finish. Phil...

If a person believes in free will then you must completely believe in free will. It is contradictory to reason to believe free will before salvation and then turn around after you are saved and hold to eternal security of the saints. If God as some believe doesn't violate your free will before...
