John 3 - discussion with Nicodemus... Can someone tell me what Nicodemus was told to do in order to have eternal life?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ...unbelievable John 3: 16 Simple [/b]</font> What is unbelieve, rozy, is that you are disparaging the position of every well-known theologian that could be named prior to the last 50 years or so! oldregular simply posted what...

Ok, let's try to sort through this foreknowledge issue with a scriptural example. Look at these scriptures: "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cap-padocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father...

so, me4him, you only listen to a teacher if he is in a church but what if he prints a book. Will you read the book? If he is a true teacher, and not a false, will you read his book?

And, by the way, God elects individuals too... Look at Jesus' words in Matthew 24:22, 31.

"“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose...

Helen, I invite you to read this brief article on this subject - John has stated it so well I think it should be read by everyone interested in this: http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/foreseenfaith.html

Oops - I see you are already discussing this passage on the "no one seeks God" forum. I'll just jump over to that one.

Ok, so I should have included verse 28 - I agree, that is important. So what is the object of the sentence "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son..."?

Helen, I appreciate your kind posts that are well thought out and clear. I want to ask you what you think of Romans 8:29 and following. I see this as only having one interpretation, and that is that God predestines certain ones for salvation and ultimate glorification. How do you view this...

So, when the Bible says in Ephesians that "teachers" are given for the edification of the church, what does that mean to you? This question is for me4him.

Do you disagree with Lindsay's view of the Muslim religion?

One of the "biggest" problem in the church today is that the "Books/opinion of men" are read/translated as "Gospel", rather than "God's word/opinion of the Holy Ghost". 1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as...

Some excellent articles and sermons on election: http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/topic/election.html

I have to laugh at people who make statements like this. I mean who forgot to tell the rest of or majority of people that this was all settled 500 years ago!!! I don't think so BJ. And oh yeah, the "this is RC" teaching is getting old. RC believe Jesus was the son of God. Should we...

That is exactly what I was saying, thank you. And, if a person is truly interested in this discussion then the least they can do is become familiar with church history and know how this discussion was debated prior. No offense to anyone here, but Erasmus and Luther dealt with this on a much...

I have a question for those who are involved in this discussion. Have you ever read "The Bondage of the Will" by Martin Luther? I ask this because this whole argument was covered rather masterfully by him nearly 500 years ago and he expounded the scriptures fully as he resisted the errant...

Timtoolman, Again, I refer you to Paul, who anticipated your objection of inequity: "What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends...

Hello... The idea that God "limits" His sovereignty seems to negate the whole idea of sovereignty. Question for your pastor: Did God force salvation on Paul when he knocked him off his horse?
