    I deny the Holy Bible!!! You make me LAUGH! You fail to understand the text of the Old Testament. The LXX was a translation made by Jewish scholars who would have been first-class in both Hebrew and Greek, and was from the very best Hebrew manuscripts of their time. Though the LXX was in use...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    Ezekiel and Acts. In the first quote from Ezekiel, there is no mention anywhere that God first "regenerates" the sinner, and then they call upon Him and get saved! You are reading into this something that does not exist! For your quotation from Acts, it is very clear that the Greek word...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    Here are some Greek scholars on Ephesians 2:8 Philip Schaff And this not of yourselves; the gift is God’s. ‘This’ might with correctness refer either to salvation or to ‘faith;’ but the mass of recent commentators accept the former view, as more grammatical, as preserving better the parallelism...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    The entire Book of Jonah is one of the best accounts in the Holy Bible, on the wideness of God's Mercy, here to a nation that was utterly wicked, and enemies of the people of God, the Jews, who were in the Old Testament, God's ELECT. And, yet here in this Book we read of God's offer of salvation...

    Wow, you come over with such arrogance!

    Monergism vs Synergism

    Let me deal with your first point. The Bible itself teaches that we WORK when we are saved, but not in the sense that we "earn" anything from God, but that we have to DO something. Look closely at Jonah 3:10; " Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented...

    John 3:16

    Sounds like great "theology", but can you show from Scripture where Jesus was not born from Adam? Did you look at the Genealogy of Jesus as recorded by Luke, where he clearly states that Jesus was "the Son of Adam" (3:38)? Is this incorrect? Clearly this teaches that Jesus' human lineage through...

    I don't follow your response? I was mainly responding to the comments, "Jesus is the Word. Therefore both Jesus and the Word are perfect.", where it appears that Jesus Christ is equated to the "written Word" (Holy Bible) in some sense? The words that "both Jesus and the Word are perfect.", show...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    How can you say I ignored what you wrote, when my quote from Jesus in John chapter 5 is in response to what you have written, which you have not dealt with! None of the passages you quote show that any sinner is so dead in their sins, that they cannot respond to the call of salvation by the Holy...

    1 John 5:7, as found in reliable Bible versions, like the King James, New King James, we have this very important verse, which is the clearest Teaching from the Holy Bible on the Holy Trinity: "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    John chapter 16 teaches about the Holy Spirit "convicting the world of sin". This work of the Holy Spirit is to convict the sinner of their lost state, and their need for salvation in Jesus Christ. The Bible also teaches that the Gospel is the power of God to salvation, and that faith comes from...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    Can you please share where the Bible teaches that God first regenerates a sinner, in order they can repent and believe? Titus 3:5 equates "regeneration" with "born-again", which is the same thing at the same time. A sinner cannot be "born-again" twice, once, where God "regenerates" their hearts...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    You are not right in trying to apply human birth to that which is spiritual. While the child born does not have any say in their human birth, this is not the case for those who are "ἄνωθεν", "born from above" (literal Greek), as they have to "repent and believe". the Bible commands that all...

    Jesus is the "Logos" and not the "rhema". The first is the "expression" as in the "revelation" of "God manifested in the flesh" (1 Timothy 3:16). the second is the "written" word, as in the writings of the Holy Bible. Jesus is not the same as the "written Word of God", there is a clear...

    Monergism vs Synergism

    The sinner is called upon many times in the Holy Bible, to "repent and believe" (Mark 1:15), which is what they are required to DO, before they are saved. There is no Scripture that says that God does our "repenting and believing" for us, which is a non-starter. Nor does the Bible say that God...

    Are you basically denying that the Holy Bible, which consists of 66 Books, is not the Word of God, and therefore not Infallible and the words of mere men? On the point of whether the term "Scripture" in 2 Timothy 3:16, also includes the New Testament, I refer you to 1 Timothy 5:18, " For the...

    Final and Only Authority

    The real question is, whether the Holy Bible as we have it in 66 Books, Genesis to Revelation, IS The Word of Almighty God to the human race? IF this is so, and accepted as fact, then it follows, that because it is GODS WORD, then is MUST be the ONLY and FINAL Authority! The Bible does say that...
