Yes. When they were ordained or foreknown came first. When they believed to be saved came later.

I don’t belong to CDS. You pridefully glory in your erroneous theology that confuses when you were chosen with when you were saved.

“Don’t get all holy and virtuous on me.” ??? “someone was made through whom sin and death might enter that world” ??? So in your strange theology, Adam was created, not to be an image of God, not to enjoy God’s presence and blessings, not to work in the garden, not to be a companion to Eve...

But what happens when that baptized church member moves to another town? Is it an additional baptism that enables them to join a new church?

When we were chosen is not the same as when we were saved. God chose us before the foundation of the world — but later, at a certain point in our life, we trusted in Jesus as our personal Lord, we were grateful that He died for our sins, and we believed that God raised Jesus from the dead. It...

Habakkuk 1:13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil, and you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. The bottom line is that sin is NEVER what God wills. God allowed Adam to be tempted and fall, but to say God wanted Adam to fall is wrong. It was the devil who wanted Adam to fall. God knew Adam would...

He probably meant the Barna research organization. https://www.barna.com/

Do not put words in my mouth that I never said. I said: “Option C: Adam (man) can sin, but does not. It was not God’s will that Adam commit sin, but He knew it would happen. Option C is where we are to be now, with the Holy Spirit empowering us.“ Option C is the goal. We are supposed to be...

Wrong. You presented two options and imposed them on God, as though you decide what options God has, and nobody can add any options to your scheme. God did NOT create Adam so that Adam could and would fall. God created Adam, without wanting Adam to fall into sin. It was the devil who wanted...

No, there is a third possibility. Option C: Adam (man) can sin, but does not. It was not God’s will that Adam commit sin, but He knew it would happen. Option C is where we are to be now, with the Holy Spirit empowering us.

Now ask him if it was God’s will for Lucifer to sin. He is so confused, he thinks everything that God permits is also what God wants to happen. This gross distortion of God’s holy character is blasphemy.

You are a good man. I am praying for extreme organic repair and swift healing of sepsis in your body. Bless you, Cathode.

We were talking about the body and blood of the Savior. Then it turned into praise for Australian wines! Wish it would have remained reverent.

Who appointed you to decide what the options are? Your options A and B are unrealistic and irrelevant to life as it is experienced. No one has a child who always obeys or who always rebels. I choose option C. Option A: You can have a child that always obeys, but believes that you only love...

Option C: You have a child who sometimes obeys, and sometimes rebels, but knows you want them to obey, and knows that you love them whether they obey or rebel, but also knows that rebelling breaks your heart.

Thank you for publicly declaring the blasphemy of your position: it was God’s will for Adam to sin. If, as you declare, God wanted Adam to sin, then God endorses disobedience against His own commandments, and He cannot justly punish anyone, including Lucifer, for sinning. I now understand...

It was never God’s will that Adam sin. If it was God’s will that Adam sin, then sin would be conforming to God’s will, and would thus not be punished. God knowing something will happen, and preparing a remedy for it, does not mean God wanted it to happen. Such distortion indicates a gross...

The law allowed for Hebrew men and women to sell themselves into slavery to another Hebrew. They could only serve for six years, however. In the seventh year, they were to be set free (Exodus 21:2). This arrangement amounted to what we might call indentured servanthood. And the slaves were to...

But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. Now, if we are unforgiving to others, that in itself is an unconfessed sin, thus unforgiven. I see the gospels as a transition from Old Covenant to New Covenant. I takes the rudimentary commandments and expands them...

The Athanasian Creed 1. Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith; 2. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. 3. And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in...
