First, realize that it is more accurately translated as a "destructive teaching." Since I have seen Calvinism in general take its toll on local churches in a very destructive way, it should not be questioned that it does. Second, realize this is a debate board. We even have Catholics, an SDA, a...

No, I don't know it. My interpretation of 2Pet.2:1 has nothing to do with your salvation. As I stated earlier The Bible Knowledge Commentary (and most other non-Cal commentaries) come to the same conclusion. Will you therefore accuse them all of questioning your salvation just because they...

Perhaps look into the mirror.

You are making some valid points in defining faith. Concerning Biblical faith, my faith grows according to my relationship with Christ. The closer I walk with Christ, and the longer I know Him, the more confident I am that He will continue to provide for me and answer my prayers. That is the...

As long as you are close minded toward what I believe you won't know. To classify one's beliefs as rubbish and yet be ignorant of them is not honest debate.

You believe Christ died for the elect. I believe Christ died for the world. I also believe that is what Peter is referring to in 2Pet.2:1. At no time did I question your salvation.

I believe that Limited Atonement is a destructive teaching as it is defined in some other translations. I have seen many other churches "destroyed" once a pastor holding such views have come and taken over the pastorate. It has caused church splits, hard feelings, and much damage in the "body."...

I have already. Read the thread. I am not going to give you a special audience. Your failure to refer to the Word of God and simply casts aspersions demonstrate your lack of Biblical knowledge and second your inability to debate. This is your third straight post without referring to the Bible...

I quoted 2Peter 2:1. I referred to Peter. And I gave you the sense of the passage. When you disagreed with me on that much I gave further explanation informing you that my interpretation was not new nor novel. And then I quoted at length from the Bible Knowledge Commentary which takes the same...

You put two statements together that were unrelated and out of their respective contexts. Fully persuaded of what? Many people are fully persuaded. A Muslim wouldn't be a suicide bomber if he wasn't fully persuaded that it was the right thing for him to do. Some of your politicians seem to be...

Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Faith is confidence in the word of another that that person will accomplish what he or she said he would do. When I was saved I put my faith in Christ, as it was revealed to me in the Scriptures, in Him as Lord and Savior, that He could do what the Scriptures said He could do--save me, forgive...

Faith in a wife, if it fails, is because humanity isn't perfect. The nature of faith (confidence, trust) is the same. Faith in God will not fail, because God is the object of that faith and God never fails. Faith is still confidence or trust in the word of another, just as Paul describes...

But you don't provide scripture as is demonstrated in this and your previous post. You only provide insults. And in the previous post I gave you the reasons why.

You have your opinions. You can keep them. Your ad hominems simply demonstrate your lack of ability to debate and perhaps your Biblical illiteracy since you don't refer to it.

You haven't shown me any. Job 32:8 does not refer to faith at all. God gives to the believer wisdom. So? It says nothing about giving faith to the unregenerate. Neither do any of the other verses you have quoted. Of course the example of Cornelius is tough. It proves the opposite of what you...

1. The Kingdom hasn't come yet. Therefore it is your dream world. 2. It is not my world. Your unbelief in 2Cor.4:4 is astounding, where Paul plainly states that Satan is the god of this world. I don't own the world. I don't rule it. I am not even a citizen here. I am a stranger and a pilgrim...

Why? You do it with most other words. In fact with many words you go back to the etymology, break down the word, etc. But context is often the most important factor. Faith is faith, as defined by a dictionary. What causes faith to be any different is simply its object. If I put my faith in...

I don't believe an honest exposition of any verse is against the BB rules. I don't believe your interpretation is quite correct either. It is true that these were false teachers. But what were they denying? They were denying that they were purchased by the Lord, the one that paid for them...

Scripture doesn't contradict itself. But here you have pitted one scripture against another so making the Bible contradict itself. It is very simple. Just as Abraham said. Faith is: being fully persuaded what one has said they will do. I am fully persuaded that when my wife says she will do...
