I agree we seem to be speaking past each other. When I said re soil; #2 that salvation was questionable I meant that we could not judge whether they were or were not saved based on what we would see. But God does not judge as we do. The text says they believed and I take that at face value...

This is what I posted "To be made spiritually perfect would require that we not sin. Paul said we still sin and our own lives prove that to be the case." Again Van this is what I wrote and you continue to reverse what I said. To be blunt you are lying. Is this what we should expect from you...

You only with that were true Van.

It is not at the cost of the oil you export. It is that your system is not setup to refine that oil. The cost to reconfigure or build new systems would be enormous even setting aside the time required to do so. The US is dependent on the crude from Canada as the infrastructure is set up to...

Martin you are using the typical response that I see way to often on here. But to answer your question. Every time that someone touts the TULIP/DoG as the truth then they are putting calvin up as a great theologian as those ideas came from his his errant teachings. Those views are based on...

You could do that but at what cost and how long would it take? The oil you need for your heavy trucks only comes from the crude you get from us or the country you just invaded but they do not have the amount you need. What the US exports is light sweet crude. The silly part is that this would...

The reality is that the US needs Canada but they just do not like admitting it. → 63% of U.S. crude oil imports come from Canada (not the Middle East, not Venezuela—Canada) → 98% of U.S. natural gas imports are Canadian → 82% of electricity imports flow south from Canadian power plants →...

I do not get offended by others honest comments. It is not the events in Geneva that make me disagree with calvinism. It is the way that calvinism treats the word of God and what it does to His character. If you have read any of my post then you will know that calvin did not actually come up...

We can see from the text that even soil #2 the one I would say had head faith, was saved. It says they believed and as God said we are saved by grace throug faith. It does not say you have to have great faith it just says faith. If one abides in Christ does that happen prior to them believing...

Well not quite Martin. You had them saved, lost, the saved again. That is not biblical. What we do see is that people can be saved and then repudiate that salvation and thus be lost. That's biblical or should i say it is for those of us who actually believe what the bible says about it. What...

Actually if you look at the economic impact on both countries it is the the US that has done better from CUSMA. But the reality is that all three countries would be worse off without CUSMA. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and we will get back to a good trading agreement that is of benefit...

Van did you actually read what I posted or just skim it? This is what I posted "To be made spiritually perfect would require that we not sin. Paul said we still sin and our own lives prove that to be the case." You are claiming I said the exact opposite of what I said.

Van in post #81 you said to Charlie24 "Did you deny we are made spiritually perfect when we are born anew?" To be made spiritually perfect would require that we not sin. Paul said we still sin and our own lives prove that to be the case. Perhaps you are confusing God seeing us as righteous...

@Martin Marprelate where do you get the silly idea "...that someone can be born again, made a new creation one moment, and then be 'de-created' the next, and then maybe born again again (!) sometime later,..."? Hebrews 6:6 shows the error of the type of thinking. Did I say one could be saved...

What did you not understand from my post @canadyjd? What does Hebrews 6:6 say? " and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance," If that is not clear enough for you then I am not sure what would be.

But the bible would disagree with you 37. Not all are in His vine. Only those that are saved are in His vine. Remember you said "I am of the persuasion everyone Christ died for are in His vine." The bible says He died for all of us ungodly sinners so that all could be saved by the grace of God...

If one has heard the gospel message and has chosen to trust in God for his salvation they have exhibited a change of mind from rejecting God to accepting Him as Lord and savior. If after that time they should then repudiate that faith due to a change of mind about the God they had followed then...

You are claiming sinless perfection Van. That is not biblical. But you are not the first person that I have had to deal with that thought as you do. "Fellowship with God requires that we acknowledge the truth concerning ourselves. For instance, to deny that we have a sinful nature means...

@Van we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us but we still have our own spirit that as Paul said is at war within us. Rom 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. Rom 7:19 For the good that I...

That sounds a lot like you believe in sinless perfection @Van. What do you say about 1Jn 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
