1. Calvinism is Fatalistic. Calvinism promotes fatalism and resignation. In reality, Calvinists believe everything has been predestined, you were either saved or damned from eternity for eternity, and there is nothing you can do to alter that outcome for yourself or your loved ones. 2...

How does scripture actually present the order of divine actions accomplishing individual salvation in Christ? 1) God provides the revelation in the form of the gospel 2) The person's heart has not been hardened, thus they hear and respond to the draw of the gospel 3) God, who knows their...

Let us consider various translations of Acts 13:48: KJV = ordained NKJV = appointed LEB = designated TLB = wanted NOG = prepared TLV = inscribed WE = before chosen Clearly those who believe individuals were chosen for salvation individually before creation read into this verse a prior election...

"Doctrines of Grace. " General offer of Reconciliation Resistible Grace Ability to believe Conditional Election Eternal Security

Ah, the ol victory in the unreferenced past routine once again from the springs without water posters. It never ends folks, now we get the ol "you made it up" routine just like what was claimed about God granting something can mean God allowing something. They claimed that was made up too...

Here is an example of a study result. Say you are going to study a verse which has "faith" in it. And your comparison study bible is the NIV. How does the NIV translate the Greek word "pistis?" Out of about 242 uses in the NT, the NIV goes with "faith" about 221 times in the NIV. Other...

Here we see another mindless "taint so" post, addressing my supposed flaws rather than the topic. Note not one word concerning the fact the elect were once not a people and had not received mercy. Thus no individual could be elected before creation.

Yet another mindless "taint so" post, devoid of any edifying content from scripture. Note the number of specific references to scripture: Predestination is a False Doctrine. Calvinism's false doctrine is that Ephesians 1:4 teaches individuals (foreseen before they were created) were...

Note not one word concerning the fact the elect were once not a people and had not received mercy. Thus no individual could be elected before creation.

Yet another mindless taint so post, devoid of any context. If you believe the future is predetermined, you can choose to life less carefully than if you believe wise living may positively impact others. And if you deny Calvinism is a relic of the Dark ages, there is nothing more that can be...

I am not sure what you are asking. If you purchase (or already own) an Exhaustive Concordance for your primary study bible (say the KJV in your case) then if you refer to the original language word, the concordance will list all the different words used to translate that original language word...

Pray like this: Pray to the Father and recognize His authority. Ask for an understanding of His will, and the willingness to follow. Ask only for what you need, and the wisdom to avoid needless desires. Forgive anyone you think has sinned against you, and ask for forgiveness for your...

A partial STUDY of the LAW of LIBERTY IN MATTHEW Always do right, even with the little things. (Matt. 3:15) Study the Word of God, live by it. (Matt. 4:4) Do not take actions that depend on God’s action to have a good result, do not put God to the test. (Matt. 4:7) Worship God and...

1 Peter 3:15 We are to be ready to defend the Truth 2 Timothy 2:15 We are to accurately present the word of Truth. John 14:6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Predestination is a False Doctrine. Calvinism's false doctrine is that Ephesians 1:4 teaches individuals (foreseen before they were created) were individually chosen for salvation before creation. This is precluded by 1 Peter 2:9-10 which says we once were not a people chosen for his own...

Note not one word concerning the fact the elect were once not a people and had not received mercy. Thus no individual could be elected before creation. Not one word, but more denial and deflection.

Four false claims, for the purpose of denial. Every point of the "reformed" doctrines of GRACE are taught explicitly in scripture. Christ died for the whole of humanity, 1 John 2:2, 1 Timothy 2:6 and 2 Peter 2:1. Many of the lost are able to understand God revelation, Luke 13:24, Matthew 13...

The meaning of foreknowledge is knowledge acquired or formulated in the past being utilized in the present, such as the implementation of a pre-determined plan. Jesus was delivered according to the foreknowledge of God. The plan had been pre-determined. Peter is addressing those chosen...
