There seems to be no way to get you to discuss scripture, but you do seem willing to discuss your perception of my faults. Conclusion, you may be an empty suit.

No one can come to believe in Christ unless "drawn" (attracted) by the Father. John 6:44. And to be drawn through the gospel, we must learn from the Father. John 6:45 Therefore unless we understand, at least to a degree, the gospel, we cannot be "drawn," we cannot "learn" from the Father...

Yes, I believe Calvinism adds man-made doctrine to scripture, and therefore the advocates of the fiction are liars. But it is not useful to direct our efforts at personal disparagement, that only indicates a lack of scriptural substance for our beliefs I have shown my understanding of 2...

1) Soil #1 had no opportunity to receive the gospel as they do not understand it. 2) Your "word of the kingdom" from Matthew 13:19 refers to the gospel, the good news, the instructions for Christ's kingdom. 3) Yes, the instructions include guidance for our behavior as we strive to become...

Superb post, true and solidly based on scripture. Election by Faith is according to grace, not works, Romans 4:16. Note, salvation does not depend upon the person who wills to be saved by placing his or her faith in Christ, it depends upon God who may have mercy and credit that faith as...

From the beginning of the New Covenant, God has chosen individuals for salvation by setting them apart in Christ based on crediting their faith in the truth as righteousness. Faith before individual election to salvation, grace before corporate election of believers to planned means of redemption.

2Th 2:10 CSB and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved. Those chosen for salvation were chosen through or on the basis of their love of the truth, whereas those not...

More 'taint so" nonsense. Sanctification by the Spirit describes the means by which the individual is chosen, they are set apart in Christ. And the basis for this choice of those individuals is their faith in the truth when credited by God as righteousness. Those that reject the gospel...

As anyone can see, the preposition "en" is used to indicate instrumentality, the means of or the basis of the verbs action of choosing the individual for salvation. The posts of each and every Calvinist try to rewrite the text.

Note once again this poster turns the noun, salvation into a verb, experiencing salvation. This is all they have folk, rewrite after rewrite to alter God's word according the man-made doctrine from the dark ages.

Are "the sheep" of the pasture, of the land, of the flock? You bet. Are"the sheep of the flock scattered when the Shepherd is struck down? You bet. Are "the sheep" like sheep without a shepherd? Nope The sheep separated and put on our Lord's right are born anew, they belong the Him. The...

A sound approach to understanding how the Greek "noun dative" is used is to see how it is used in the NASB, which is one of the best translation of the Greek grammar. Both "sanctification" and "faith" are in the dative, indicating they are indirect objects of the verb chosen, describing an...

Hi Ben1445 1) Just because you believe folks are unable to be led to Christ by God's word, I am not "flattering myself" to believe what God's word says. 2) Apparently you believe all the lost are soil #1, and believe soils 2, 3 could not understand and accept the gospel. Sounds like...

“And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; [Matthew 25:32 NASB] Some mistakenly try to define the Greek word translated "nations" above as peoples within national borders, but that view...

Idiotic absurdity, a total rewrite of the text. But will any poster other than myself stand up for God's word? Wait and see... To be chosen through or on the basis of faith requires that the person comes to faith before being chosen. Thus those who do not accept the love of truth remain...

Once again we have a posted verse, but no reason given for the post. I will assume, receiving no feedback, that the idea is people cannot understand God's word, and therefore cannot provide feedback. If this is the unstated contention of the post, it is absolutely false. Some people...
