Greetings Silverhair. Grace and Love in our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to start by saying I haven't read much of what others are saying to you, and only some of your comments. So you might treat this post to you as a standalone that doesn't know the points that have been made previously...

Greetings to you Martin. I'm on my way to an appointment so don't have much time. It seems to me that justification is a one-time legal, if you will, act that makes a person in "right standing" with God. IMO, it relates to the law. Forgiveness, if we are seeking differences (because they...

Greetins Van. I was reading over some of what you wrote and thought I'd make some comments. I'm not sure which people you refer to that think the division "will be based on works". But for me, the general concept of the divisions in Matthew 25 are something similar to Romans 1:19-24 and...

Greetings Dave G. Peace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. Just as a nitpick, the word "hearken" means 'pay attention and listen'. So it seems to me that it is not a word that belongs with the point you are making. (1) comprehend/understand (ἀκούει G191possible definition given by...

Greetings Is this actually true? The problem is that the statement, which I know is a common Reformed assumption, is that it assumes a negative inference to be clearly true (and it is not clearly true, logically). The Negative Inference 1. The sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they...

Greetings to you JonC. Long time no write. :) Been away on a project. Musing on your topic, it seems to me that this word "punishment" can be put under the category of "creational experience", i.e., simply all the experience we face in God's creation. This creational experience can be said...

Greetings Van. Thank you for your witness and work you do for our Lord. I see and understand your lines of reasoning. Since I understand what you are saying, I don't think I need any clarification. I do have a question that does pertain to the topic in general. My question is how do you...

Greetings brothers. Many hopes and blessings for you in our Lord Jesus Christ. I have been looking at the Exodus/Wilderness/Promised Land story in the OT and trying to connect symbolisms that was intended to help us further understand the coming and accomplishments of Christ. Below I have...

Greetings to you Deacon. Peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm going to present other parables as possible sources of understanding. Parable of the Sower (Matt 13: 3-9, 18-23; Luk 8:5-8, 11-15; Mar 4:7, 14-16, 18-20) In the Parable of the Sower, I it is reasonable to think that soils...

Greetings to all. Thank you for your informative interpretations. All are very useful. @John of Japan @37818 @Van @kyredneck @Tea @Reformed It would seem that the two general theological paths that are taken from this verse are that of "world" meaning elect and "world" meaning all mankind...

Greetings to all in our Lord Jesus Christ. I am looking for others to give their thoughts (Calvinist and Arminian types all) on the translation of John 16:7-11. Particularly the section I will outline below. Here is the frame for my inquiry. Jesus says that He must go away so the "Helper"...

@kyredneck @JonC @Martin Marprelate @Zaatar71 Greetings all. I have come late to this party and don't really have anyone I want to specifically address. My objective, as always, is God's truth. Wherever that may lead me. I do find this in the Holy Scripture... Here is how I understand...

Greetings on this wonderful Wednesday, Siverhair. Thank you again for your edification. I want you to know I will be gone for a couple of days if you reply. Like I said before, these are all true (obviously) due to Christ's Cosmic Triumph on the cross. These verses are referring to Christ's...

Greetings my brother, Silverhair. Thank you for your edification. I do not hold to any form of Supralapsariansim. That being a decree by God that is the logical order of selecting the children of wrath prior to a fall. I deny the Calvinist's logical deduction that God predestines some for...

Greetings JonC. Thank you for your wisdom on this issue. First, I freely concede that what I am to say is from logical biblical deduction. A position one holds with the caveat that it could be wrong since scripture does not explicitly state it. Although I do not think I am wrong. Second...

Greetings to all my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord. Under the traditional Reformed teaching of covenants, there is one covenant, that being the Covenant of Grace, under which there are various administrations. This one covenant in which all others are under would seem to assume that each...

We worship in spirit and in truth. I have no problem with how others worship as long as it is not sin. The problem starts when someone starts telling others how they should be worshiping. If its submission and thankfulness to the Lord, to each his own. Peace to you brothers

Greetings to you Tea. Grace and Hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. I agree, every person receives some light. I think this can be seen in the parable of the sower (to name one). I agree. I would also refer you to what I wrote for Silverhair in post #16. I also hold to particular and...

Greetings Silverhair. Thank you for providing your wisdom to me that I might grow in Christ. As you may or may not know from all my other posts this past year. I deny the strict dichotomy that one must be on the Providence side (Calvinism) or be on the Arminian side (faith as man's part). On...

Greetings to you Jesus Fan. Grace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. I think I could just as easily put this post in the other Reformed thread but I chose to put it in the Evangelical thread. As many know, I think both have their truths but then wander into error when closing...
