Romans 1-7 I ask, then, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left...

I like Grudem's "Systematic Theology" on this topic. He starts with biblical quotes on creation, then plants and animals, "IE who makes the Ostrich forget her eggs", then the weather, all the way to man. It's undeniable, it's why I can't take Arminians seriously. I yes administrator most...

Jesus explained in John 3 Salvation, just as He did in John 6, which is so clear. But it's 3 that's so often missed. Jesus explains to Nicodemus that one must be born again, Nicodemus says "How can one go back into his mothers womb", Jesus now hits it, "that which is born of flesh is flesh...

All things that come to pass are ordained by God. What's sad is some will study and find out that this is true, then find out how, others will just say "No that's not my God". It's fact, so end of post.

Sunday School 101, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", "All are born in Adam", "They are sinners from birth, telling lies". If God never sent Christ, and never saved anyone, would you say He was bad? Is God just in sending sinners to Hell? Is that Justice? Why is salvation...

How does one respond to this? Has this guy ever read the bible? In the Greek New Testament the word "Predestined" is found 9 times, it's meaning is "Destiny, predetermined", the reason you don't see in KJV is that they spoke differently then and it was translated from the Vulgate, not Majority...

Or I should say the toughest part. Knowing God is sovereign over all, and then go into grave suffering knowing it's from the Lord, I must confess, is the hardest test of faith I've ever had, we all go through it, but the pagan misses the point, does not show faith nor have their faith...

Wow! No Exegesis, this is called EIEGESIS. Yes, they are DEAD. And yes they will HEAR HIS VOICE, but what else does John say about the topic? John 6; The Jews were grumbling among themselves, "How can this be the Christ", "Don't we know Him", Jesus said "Why do you grumble among yourself, do...

Exactly, what these pagans don't get is that the Bible teaches us Definite Atonement, that is God saved exactly who He wanted to save. The pagan Arminianism teaches God is a desperate beggar, sending His Son to die (Oh what if they in their free will didn't kill Christ?), there Christ died, yet...

No they don't, you have no idea what you are talking about. Ever thought of FIRST learning them, then commenting so you don't embarrass yourself online?

Not only DOES the Lord do whatever He wills, Scripture demonstrates what He wills. Hardened the Israelite's hearts so they'd fear Him not. In the New Covenant He will "Put the fear of me in them so they will not leave me", "Assigns all kings and rulers", "Determines who we are, where we are...

Is there a point to this? I know Dr. Wallace, what's your point?

You could also ask the question about the women caught in adultery in John. It's not found in any of the early texts, and scholars are almost uniform that it's not original.

Good post, it's FASCINATING in reading John Gill's Commentary, for he lived in a time when they were bringing in the critical text, so he'd show both. Of course all bibles have annotations, most Christians never bother to read them, but we need to know our history, or the New Atheists and...

It's a Variant. It's in the KJV, but not in the critical text, that is it's not found in the earlier manuscripts, so in better translations like ESV it's not there.

I think you're a little confused. Limited Atonement is more glorifying to God than some sort of general "He died for all", He did not. Look at it the Arminian way, God sends His Son, His Son dies on the cross, open to all, YET IN MANS FREE WILL NO ONE COMES! In the Arminian economy that's a...

Exactly, that simple

If I may, I think we're all saying the same thing in different ways. Surely if we are Regenerated, the Holy Spirit abides in us, we are a long list of things, Adopted, New Creations, and IN CHRIST. I don't think Hank here is saying Baptism itself is "In Christ", millions of unbelievers have been...

You are right, your pastor is wrong. In the Church are many who are not in Christ. The answer is simple, to be in Christ simply means to be once for all regenerated by the Holy Spirit, "I will send another advocate to be with you forever". So be "In Christ" means to have the Holy Spirit, it...

That is ironic isn't it? There were great times of Theology in the Roman Church, but moderns prefer the pagan version. In the Greek New Testament Jesus says we must "REPENT", however in the Roman bible it substitutes the word "PENANCE", so "Penance", or "Repentance"? Well we know what the word...
