These objections are covered in the OP... 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given

As one looks back over history since the creation of the Calvinism doctrine, has this doctrine brought peace and harmony to the body of Christ? Or has it caused great strife and division? The answer should teach us all something.

Sorry, that last part looks like it is part of the verse. It should have been set apart as commentary, I noticed it later but time for edit had expired.

God reveals Truth to His children. John 14:16,17 - "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he...

Ok then, I know freewill to choose Jesus Christ is true, thus God revealed this to me from the scriptures..... So repent of your belief that it is not.......

No...you should not say that. Perhaps you have not yet experienced God enabling you to welcome the truth yet Icon....like here- 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man...

Sounds like Calvinism. Why not just give them the Apostle"s version??

I believe it is the only answer that can be given. Unless a voice from heaven speaks directly into one's spirit, how would one know if God was the cause of the opinion formed about any particular theology? Or maybe it was the Holy Spirit inside you resisting the error you were about to...

Could be. I know I prayed earnestly for the Lord to show me TULIP in the bible if it be true because truth is ultimately what I seek, and thus far all I see is it's flaws in it's twist and turns. Let me ask you a question. Is it possible you could be wrong about TULIP being correct?

Well that's good to hear, but I do believe you are the only Calvinist here that has said such. I had a thread on this topic http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=97186 and only one Calvinist disagreed with the OP, and even he then waffled a bit when challenged with his disagreement. No...

No Willis. A debate board does not work that way. You cannot slice and dice out of context and then say you answered the quote. The full quote is given, the issue is why doesn't all Christians embrace TULIP, the answer given was because they all are not Jesus' sheep. At which you gave a...

But SBM, like all Calvinist, claims their beliefs come directly from God through "Divine Enablement". You will hear statements such as "God opened my eyes". Now if SBM can be so "ignorant" concerning TULIP verses the Gospel, what does that say about his beliefs on Calvinism itself? Who...

Care to explain your answer in this exchange....

Absolutely agree!! And that is why TULIP is so wrong, if a TULIP believer be absolutely honest, as SBM has been, the belief leads to this inevitable conclusion. This was the question in my thread "If not the Gospel, then what is it?". Which was closed for some reason. You will hear the...

Since this post from me, SBM has publically declared that those who do not believe TULIP is The Gospel indeed cannot be considered saved. But he is not alone. Two others on here have posted as much, without rebuke from any other Calvinist...ArchAngel did disagree with Icon but then waffled...but...

Amen! It's called "foreknowledge". Omniscient.

Yes, but the subject matter is "Calvinistic" sermon. Now unless you hold to the Gospel as being Calvinism, the sermon needs to have something Calvinistic actually in it.

I never used the word cooperate, I have told them to call upon Jesus Christ to receive the gift of eternal life which is Christ entering into you via the regenerating power of the Holy Ghost.

Brother, we ALL believe that. These debates are over the fatalism of Calvinism. And why the Calvinist feels a need to hold back some things they believe to be true.

Only in their circle of like-minded believers (Calvinist). If I have to mask or withhold my doctrinal beliefs with someone, I would question what I have decided to believe......
