Once again we see yet another Calvinist effort to rewrite scripture to alter it in accordance with the fiction of Calvinism. Who said 2 Thessalonians 2:13 says we are chosen "because of our faith?" That would make salvation dependent upon the person that wills to be saved, and therefore...

Once again, this post addresses a view point made up by the poster, and does not address the interpretation of Psalm 7:11. In Summary: Psalm 7:11 reveals a dual aspect of God's character: He is a righteous judge who is angry at wickedness daily, yet He is also patient and merciful, not...

Why do some posters, advocating Calvinism, charge me with rewriting scripture. It is an attempt at inoculation, where someone presenting falsehood charges those standing up for true with the same malfeasance as their own. No one seeks after God becomes the Calvinist rewrite no one ever seeks...

LOL, just read Luke 1:2, from the beginning refers to the things accomplished among us, those living in the 1 century. Or how about John 6:24 where Jesus knew "from the beginning" which of His disciples believed. Pay no attention to this naysayer, who spends all his posts finding fault with...

Not one poster admitted to the fact of John 1:12, as many as "received Him" were given the right to become children of God. What is the difference to believing in, on, or toward Jesus, and believing "into" Jesus? We believe in, on or toward Jesus, but only when God credits our belief as...

Understanding what figurative illustrations from our physical world are meant to convey about our spiritual condition is key to accurately handing the word of truth. I am the means of reconciliation, which was given by the God of Heaven. If anyone receives this reconciliation, he or she will...

I like to think I am drawing distinctions to convey truth. Imputation is the same as saying something is so. I can say some truth is so, and I you say something that I believe is true, then I can say or credit or declare your statement is true. Thus you have been imputed with a true...

There is no such thing as "eternal hell" but there is "eternal punishment" in Hades and Gehenna. The lost go into everlasting punishment in the everlasting fire. Matthew 25:41, 46. At a minimum, eternal punishment refers to everlasting separation from God, whether the person is aware of the...

Yes, and that view seems correct to me, that is why I presented that view. Note, verse 12, if a person does not repent, thus patience rather than wrath is indicated. I am interpreting Paslm 7:11 through the lens of Romans 9:22. But I would be remiss if I did not note your response was both...

1 Peter 2:9-10 NASB But you are A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; or you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD...

I disagree, the context does not even suggest God judges the righteous, rather God judges righteously the people. And still further afield, God does not judge the wicked to provide justice to the righteous. His justice is perfect thus consistent with His attribute, God is just. But now lets...

You have no idea to what "from the beginning" is referring to or what function the phrase serves in the sentence. From the beginning of the New Covenant is the reference. An indirect object describes something about the recipients of the action. And in this case "when." The rest of your...

One again I say "A" and this poster suggests I said "B." A righteous judge would not judge in anger appears to be the idea. You can make silly claims, not angry equals being satisfied and having no problem till the cows come home. Does not edify. Does God only judge the righteous or only...

Has this thread defined "Annihilation?" 1) The belief when we physically die, our conscious awareness ends, there is no afterlife. 2) The belief when we physically die, we are taken either to Hades or to Heaven. Those taken to Heaven live forever. Those taken to Hades suffer torment for...

Psalm 7:11 Interpretive Translation God, a righteous judge, is not angry all the time.

Not shame, but when we strive to better represent Christ, that is to the glory of God.

Still no answer. This thread should discuss scripture, and not diversion into petty topics. We were not NOT made the Righteousness of God by imputation. Everyone should agree with this, as that truth is plainly taught in scripture. We become the righteousness of God in Him, so we must be...

1 Peter 2:9-10

Did God choose individuals through faith in the truth? 2 Thessalonians 2:13 Every poster should answer that question with a yes, but instead we will have silence from those who do not believe God's word. Did God choose individuals who were poor according to the world's value system but rich...

More against the person drivel. One false charge after another. Folks pay no attention to those who do not discuss thread topics, but only change the subject to how awful those who hold differing views are. We are chosen INDIVIDUALLY when God credits our faith in Christ as righteousness...
