My son used to ask me, "If God can't change, how can we bring him delight"? Great question and similar I think to yours. I don't think it's "Infinite", as in infinite numerical values, but "Immense". It would seem that God as a immutable being cannot be affected, create. It would at first...

A different love to be sure. Same in a sense, but not as holy. It's amazing, even though to us now it seems reprehensible, but when we are in Heaven, we will be singing with the saints who say "How long oh Lord until you avenge the brothers". In other words we will hate the reprobate...

OK, to you and Webdog, I said I was sorry, you want to drag this out? To answer your question, Lewis was a horrible theologian, he rejected Genesis, Job, Jonah all as fiction, and believed the bible contained God's word but was in fact not. I read Clarke all the time, have for years AS I VIEW...

You are absolutely right, I'm very sorry. I don't mean to tear down the brothers.

Sorry about that, you are right, I shouldn't have said that. I do get frustrated when I see people dogmatic about things that it's clear they've never studied, may have read it, but not studied it. I will be more measured with my words in the future.

Many of these synergists are fine, honest people, they simply lack KNOWLEDGE. I've seen it all over this forum, I mean my 10 year old son understands the Arminian/Calvinism debate better than most here who are so dogmatic about what they do not know. I would recommend to anyone they pick up...

Where is the term "AntiChrist" in this? In regards to your "Nothing like this has happened", are you saying that you think this is literal language? Have you not read the Psalms? "The Lord awoke, and fire came out of His nostrils, the sky fled and the mountains crumbled". Did that literally...

Not at all, listen to what you just said, "If God states salvation will be granted on the condition of accepting or rejecting", then final salvation is sovereignly in mans accepting or rejecting, and God has no say in it! As to your second point, we are saved by God grace, nothing more or...

"Taught by many", what does that have to do with anything? I prefer to let scripture tell me what is or isn't. In the epistles of John you will find full descriptions. To add to what John was very clear about I think is sloppy and dangerous. Personally, I think the Church has been...

What do all of those quote have to do with AntiChrist? We need to be extremelly careful in defining the book of Revelation.

You might as well lose your moniker, for others won't believe this to be God's word! In John 3:16, it says literally in the Greek, "For God so loved the cosmos, that He gave His only begotten Son, so that the believing ones would not perish, but have everlasting life' Seems to be the quote...

Calv1: You are the moderator, does that mean if I disagree with you I'm in trouble?????? I will be as kind as can be!!!! Calv1: Ironic, synergist's always say that the "World", in every case (See John 3:16 posts), always means "All men" Jesus' prayer was clear, "I do NOT PRAY FOR THE WORLD...

Right. This is a tower than no synergist can overcome. They try to make it nations even though "Esau", and "Jacob", are in the Greek first person nouns, and even if it was nations, so what? It still shows particularity! And what is it that "May stand"? ELECTION. Paul even uses the term...

During the reformation, there was NO THEOLOGY. What would people know? The Roman Church? Or something else? How about Molinism? What about Universilism? Calvin laid out the scripture at an important time, doctrine means much, and we believe that Calvin was the closest to the mark of what the New...

They can state what they wish, since when does subjectivism matter? To state that God "Forces" someone, (No offense), is total ignorance. Isn't it the synergist who prays "Oh Lord, change their heart"? And who says it's a bad thing for God to put into man, out of mercy, a desire to love...

Thanks. I do expect much, for I fought the doctrines of grace for years, wrote papers and a book called "Intrinsic Autonomy", ANYTHING to grant myself the kingship mode that synergists hold to. This is why I have much mercy on synergists, and don't call them heretics. Who knows, God uses us...

Or American Indians, they day Christ died they were instantly condemned. Are we so lost in our studies that we don't understand that who we are, where we are born, and who we will be is all from the MASTER???

Cool down brother! I've noticed that most on this forum have no exegetical skills, and are ignorant of what scripture teachs. I will never tell another man how to respond, but I would suggest that you tell them with scripture show them how they are very misguided. They are diluded by...

I don't mean to be rude, but where do you get your information? God forces us????? The bible teaches that we are unable to come to Jesus unless the Father draws us. God doesn't "Force us", but rathers gives us the desire and ability to love Him. Without that intervention our "Wills are SLAVES...

Adam means "Man". We, as a race, are sinful. We are not directly responsible for Adams sin, we did not do that, however we were "In Adam", literally in His loins, therefore we all inherit a sin nature from our father Adam. While Christs atonement was "Not necessary", in regards to salvation...
