He could also make pigs fly. . . He uses the proclamation of the gospel by men, and He tells us that which is why He gave the Great Commission, and why Paul asks: [13] For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” [14] How then will they call on him in whom they have not...

Spiritually dead, Spiritually dead men don't seek God. They do; however, sin. They do that very well.

Do you know the story of how God fed the Children of Israel in the desert? When He gave the manna from Heaven. . . Did God gather the manna for them? Did they have to chew the manna? Why didn't God put it directly into their stomachs? I mean, while He was doing miracles anyway, why not? God...

The gospel is proclaimed promiscuously. The "opportunity" is there. See John 3:16.

How do you know he's not?

You're that guy! (good thing I didn't write: Your that guy)

That statement shows your ignorance of the subject, which is quite "normal". I can count on one hand (if two of my fingers were missing) the Arminians who understand the Doctrines of Grace.

It's not arrogant to be right. You sound as if you've drunk the postmodernism Kool-Aid

Calvinism vs Arminianism? Why either/or? Why not both? They make mutually exclusive claims. That's why.

So, now you are saying that salvation comes by faith and works. Okay, but are you a Protestant or a Roman Catholic? I don't like debating Roman Catholics. You are also asserting that people who have not heard the gospel or the name of Jesus have faith in Him, so I wonder why it is that Jesus...

The promise of a Messiah was given immediately after the Fall. Gen. 3:15. That's gets us far off track of the OP, though. Do you have answers that you would like to share?

More than given "to" them it was realized, "through" them.

Through the promise of a Messiah to come. That promise was given to the Jews.

So, you are asserting that there are people who will be saved by their obedience to the law. Okay, I would wonder first why Christ had to die if that were the case. Secondly, I wonder where these people are who have obeyed God Law, understanding that to disobey it in one part is to disobey it all.

It's great when the first answer is the correct answer.

In a recently-closed thread, @SheepWhisperer asked, "If someone cannot possibly access something that is "available", how then is it "available" to save them?" I would like to ask a similar question in two parts: 1) Can someone believe in Jesus if he has never heard of Jesus? 2) How many people...

Calvinists believe that anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will escape condemnation.

R.C. Sproul seems to be of the same opinion as I am regarding the meaning of this miracle, so I'm in good company. That doesn't mean I'm correct, but it means I'm not making a wild assertion. Ligonier Ministries ". . .Dr. Sproul explains how this is a picture of how we were dead in our...

First, how do you see spiritual deadness? You can't. With all other healing miracles you could see the condition the person suffered from, but not with spiritual death. Second, when Jesus healed the blind, He demonstrated a spiritual truth. He demonstrated that He would make the spiritually...

Raising Lazarus and the Valley of Dry Bones have something in common. . .
