    '28 Elections:

    The claim Mr Trump might serve a third term is a Democrat hoax.

    What is AI?

    Not what scripture actually says! In context, the verse says all of God's blessings work together for good to them that love God and who have been called into Him, according to His purpose. Certainly all the inventions of people do not always work together for the good of Christ's ministry...

    Ungodly Divisions

    You are addressing me, not the issue. Elders were elected by the local church members, and confirmed by church leaders, sometimes including Paul, an Apostle. Acts 14:23. So the doctrine that divides some non-Catholics from Catholic dogma, is reliance upon the leading of the Holy Spirit among...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill ! 2

    You are addressing me and not the topic. Being drawn by the Father, as said in John 6:44, refers to being attracted by God's revelation of His lovingkindness. The Greek word is used metaphorically to mean attract.

    Now the People of God, Now Have Obtained Mercy

    Are you pretending to be unable to grasp the issue? Calvinists claim, falsely, that if a lost person puts their own faith in Christ, and God uses that human faith, then that would be a works based salvation. For you to continue to deny the "gift of faith" doctrine of Calvinism is without merit.

    Now the People of God, Now Have Obtained Mercy

    Not what I said, stop with the usual misdirection to change subjects. Here again is what I said: "The claim that the faith of a lost person merits salvation is the spawn of Satan, and promulgated by Calvinists." The reason Calvinism teaches "the gift of faith" via Irresistible grace, is...

    Calvinism Made Me Doubt My Salvation

    What was posted by Eternally Grateful? what about a babe in Christ who has not yet come to this point of his faith should they question their salvation. But what was the topic? The Saints perseverance is because of God's preservation. So as we examine our lives, to see if we are "in the...

    Now the People of God, Now Have Obtained Mercy

    Yet another subject change post, running from biblical truth. You believe if a lost person puts their faith in Christ, and God credits that faith as righteousness, then the lost person somehow merited salvation. That is your and Calvinism's Absolutely False Claim. Please stop with the...

    Sir, you said you could not find the meaning as if obscure. Now you do not even acknowledge that Elders were elected by the members. Goodbye

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill ! 2

    You can post "taint so" till the cows come home, Calvinism simply reads into John 6:44 what anyone can see is not there. There is not need to redefine the meaning according to Calvinist doctrine, that is simply reading Calvinist doctrine into the text. Here is an objective viewpoint: 66tn Or...

    The Absolute Sovereignty of God? Where did this doctrine come from?

    Not what is said, the outcome was uncertain, perhaps wheat, perhaps something else. You can deny scripture till the cows come home, or strive to change the subject and bring up an endless list of non-germane verses. I have seen it all before. For example Acts 2:47 does not say "such as...

    Good Grief, it is right their in Strongs. I am done, you are just obfuscating. c. with the loss of the notion of extending the hand, to elect, appoint, create: τινα, Acts 14:23 And here is the snippet from a Greek Interlinear: 14:23 ceirotonhsantes cheirotonEsantes G5500 vp Aor Act Nom Pl m...

    Repeating for the last time, scripture tells us how "those communities gave their approval." Acts 14:23. Here is a word for word translation - Then - they(the members) elected by stretching out the hand - elders - for them - in every - called out assembly - - having prayed - with - fasting - -...

    The Absolute Sovereignty of God? Where did this doctrine come from?

    1 Corinthians 15:37 NKJV And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. Once again, an event occurs with a chance outcome. Some of the grain sown might be wheat, but other grains of something else, the...

    The Absolute Sovereignty of God? Where did this doctrine come from?

    Definition of "Absolute Sovereignty:" God orders everything, controls everything, rules over everything. In other words God causes, predestines, controls everything that happens, nothing happens by chance or the autonomous decision of humans. On the other side of the debate are those that...

    It is pointless to continue, Sir, as you seem unable or unwilling to address what I say. My first point was about the word appointed, meaning elected by a show of the church members hands, and you addressed the method of laying on of hands.

    1) Yes, they were not appointed. You apparently do not know the meaning of the Greek word translated as appointed. It means to select or elect by a showing of hands or a stretching out of hands. 2) Yes Timothy was and is not an Apostle, invalidating you own claim and supporting the post...
