Thanks for the suggestions, but just some of my favorite writers who I have studied over the years, Edwards, Warfield, Owen, Pink, MacArthur, Piper, White, on and on and on.

I'll tell you what. I've debated all my life, and these sound bite exchanges go nowhere, I promise you the point won't come through. If you don't mind, can you just get to your point, ask a big, long question. I'm not interested in hearing about MacArthur, or whether creatures want to be like...

I don't really know or care what John MacArthur is saying, what does it have to do with anything? Did you have a direct question? What about my direct questions? .

It is not "Hyper" to teach what the bible teachs. Gods wrath is upon some men, and He hates these men. The only "Love" they receive is that they are still receiving breath. You aren't saying God loves all men are you? Did not God HATE Esau before he was born, or is that not in scripture? And...

That's human folklore and has zero scriptural basis, those verses refer to Nebuchadnezzar.

Yes, and I agree with him much of the time.

What verse in the bible says that Satan intended to become like God? PS: I put up that long post because so many questions are directed in this direction, one read should help immensely.

Got it, I'm new here and don't know all the rules. It's not plagiarism if you quote your source like I did. Thanks.

Got it, thanks for the heads up. I am new here and are unfamiliar with some of the rules.

You really do? With Adam Clarke? Do you think that the Saints in Heaven love Gods enemies? God hates them, they are under His sure wrath, yet the Saints are of a different mind? We couldn't disagree more.

Part 4 Elsewhere in the Old Testament we read that the Lord “put a lying spirit in the mouth” of Ahab’s prophets (1 Kings 22:23) and sent the wicked Assyrians as “the rod of my anger” to punish Israel (Isa. 10:5). He also sent the evil Babylonians, including Nebuchadnezzar, against Israel...

Part 3 A very clear example is found in the story of Joseph. Scripture clearly says that Joseph’s brothers were wrongly jealous of him (Gen. 37:11), hated him (Gen. 37:4, 5, 8), wanted to kill him (Gen. 37:20), and did wrong when they cast him into a pit (Gen. 37:24) and then sold him into...

Part 2 God plans our days before we are born, for David affirms, “In your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them” (Ps. 139:16). And Job says that man’s “days are determined, and the number of his months is with you, and you...

B. Concurrence God cooperates with created things in every action, directing their distinctive properties to cause them to act as they do. This second aspect of providence, concurrence is an expansion of the idea contained in the first aspect, preservation. In fact, some theologians...

Now some may object that this view makes us mere “puppets” or “robots.” But we are not puppets or robots; we are real persons. Puppets and robots do not have the power of personal choice or even individual thought. We, by contrast, think, decide, and choose. Again the Arminian wrongly takes...

2. Does the Calvinistic Doctrine of God’s Providence Make God Responsible for Sin? Against the Calvinistic view of God’s providence (which allows that he decrees to permit sin and evil) Arminians would say that God is not responsible for sin and evil because he did not ordain them or cause them...

Revelation 6:10

Thanks, and nice to meet you. Seems I'm already labeled with terms I've never heard. Oh well!!!!!

What is sin? Is it not the absense of good? If so, how do you create the absence of something?

Calv1: Where? Beside, intelligence has nothing to do with it. Calv1: You want me to give you my credentials? Why? So you can turn around and say I'm bragging? Not going for it. Calv1: God doesn't grant all the same amount of Grace. Perhaps that's why you are here, to learn. Calv1: You...
