It says it in Scriptures like: James 2:26, Eph.2:1; Rev.20:14,15; Rom.6:23, etc. Not equal, but similar. The are similar in that they both fall under the definition of separation. How is that? If one is speaking of death, then proper meanings must be assigned or there is confusion in the...

There are many who don't believe in particular redemption, including Peter who calls it a damnable heresy. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that...

Show me just one example in scripture where it is clear and explicit that God gave man the faith to believe and then the man became regenerated, and then he became saved. There is no example. Folks here try to use Cornelius.. But that doesn't work. It works against them. Why? 1 Peter 1:23...

On the contrary. You have never provided any scripture to show that God gives faith to the unregenerate. No one here has. It is a fact: God doesn't give spiritual gifts or his fruit to the ungodly. Why people here think that is beyond me.

No one, except a few of your cheer-leaders agree with ad hominems, false accusations, and derogatory posts. Absolutely no one. You live in a dream world.

More to the point it shows that you need to look in the dictionary and find out what the real definition of faith is. It is not this tangible mystical essence that you think God gives the unregenerate so that they are able to be saved. Where do you come up with these things? The New Age...

I only dealt with the points that I felt were relevant. So you might not find much. You can't refute something that is Biblical. When you are wrong you are wrong. You can post a wrong position. That doesn't mean you have refuted me.

He was still dead. He was not made spiritually alive until God himself provided a sacrifice with the shedding of blood with the added benefit of providing them "coats of skin." But blood had to be shed, "for without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin."

Because that is what you do, Icon. And this post is evidence of it. It is what you do. Read your own post right here. It is what you do. Why would you say such a thing? It is what you do!

I said "faith" not love. That is your opinion unsupported by Scripture, at least scripture that you cannot properly expound. Salvation is all of God. It is God's gift to man, to be received by faith. But God did not give the faith to man. Man is not a robot to have salvation forced upon him...

And your point is: All who disagree with Calvinism are apostate??

You responded to my statement: When the message centers around TULIP I don't need to listen to any more of it. I understand the five points of TULIP. I am not ignorant of them. There are much better things in the Bible to preach on.

Yes, dead means dead, which means "separated." For example, God told Adam "In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Adam ate; Adam died. And then Adam continued to carry on a conversation with God though he was dead. How is that possible? He was separated from God spiritually; not a...

Why? Are you a late comer, not been paying attention? I have given scores of verses. Obviously you haven't read any of my posts. Go back and read through the thread I have no intention of making a special exposition for your private eyes only.

No. Faith is faith. Faith is confidence, trust, in the word of another. It is the object of faith that is different. One can have faith in a spouse. One can have faith in Christ. Only one can save you.

You refer to my hatred and my agenda. I don't look at it as an accurate post at all.

"Dead" simply means "separated," not "a corpse." Faith is trust. Do you ever reach out in faith to your wife? Do you trust her?

When the message centers around TULIP I don't need to listen to any more of it. But that is what certain posters want me to do. I am not a Calvinist. I don't intend on becoming one. The solas I have no quarrel with, except that some here are reluctant to admit to sola fide. Obviously, not...

No. When you give a child a gift what does that child do? He or she simply reaches out in simple faith and receives it. He doesn't "will himself" to receive the gift, as you say. He is not a "warlock." Faith is not magic. It is not a work. It is simple confidence, confidence in the giver that...

Your reply is strange. I didn't say anything about weakness. A person can build a very strong argument defending a false position. That is not the point. The Calvinistic CoF are very detailed. So what? The Catechism of the RCC is very detailed as well, but I don't plan on doing a point by point...
