Does God limit salvation to those who are worthy of it, in some way? Did He set up a system in which only those who were righteous enough to acknowledge and appreciate salvation, before they received it would get it? Or, does God save sinners? Does He save His enemies? Does He "look down the...

I wonder why people violating laws should not be living in fear. Fear of the "sword" of the state is a God-designed deterrent for potential lawbreakers. People who are here illegally should be fearful.

Not rushing to the aid of criminals is not the same as not loving and serving neighbors. Christians should be concerned with justice and being law-abiding citizens of their countries; therefore, helping law enforcement find criminals so that they can be prosecuted is a very Christ-like thing to...

Summer did a great job, and what she did there was be salt and light. She exposed the inconsistencies of sin-warped worldviews, and I think that is akin to what we do in presuppositional apologetics.

"To him who is given much, much will be expected". The Lord is both just and abounding in mercy; therefore, in cases such as your sister's, she is pardoned either way, but not in the same manner the rest of are. It's never a good idea to try to prove the rule by the exception. Gospel...

It will never happen. I wish it would, but you are living in an alternate reality if you think justice will be done regarding Obama and/or Hillary in this matter. Obama and Hillary are part of protected classes, firstly, and they have huge political clout, secondly. They are untouchable, and...

Thanks for clearing that up. I had always thought that a hyper Calvinist was a guy who drank too much coffee.

You are now answering a question you didn't ask, which makes any honest debate impossible.

Nice!

You've just defined the Democratic Party.

You're welcome.

Regeneration precedes faith. That's where the two sides differ. If one had to produce faith in Christ, as an enemy of God, prior to rebirth, no one would do so. God's word, just as in creation, and just as in Lazarus being raised from the dead, produces life. He speaks and life springs forth...

At least you married well. I don't imagine you had to choose between two girls to make one your wife though, or you would still be single. ;)

If Christ died to provide the possibility of salvation, yet billions have lived and died without ever hearing the gospel, He is incompetent, unjust, or both. No, Christ died for those who were given to Him by the Father. Not those who loved Him first, but those who were His enemies. Not for...

It must. What a person believes regarding this fundamental issue taints all else.

. . .However, the idea of irresistibility conjures up the idea that one cannot possibly offer any resistance to the grace of God. However, the history of the human race is the history of relentless resistance to the sweetness of the grace of God. Irresistible grace does not mean that God’s grace...

If you don't know the answer to that question you really should not try to debate in this subforum.

Yes. Right next to: Trinity.

You've never seen a painting of Jon Calvin before, have you?
