Certainty, Not Innocence: Divine Decree and Human Responsibility "Saying it’s unjust for God to Judge sinners because they can't help sinning is like saying a man who borrowed $20 million, squandered it in Vegas, and now claims he shouldn't have to repay because he’s broke is being treated...

The end logic of that scenario includes the possibility that after Jesus Came, died, was buried, and rose again, that NO ONE WOULD EVER COME TO CHRIST AND HE WOULD HAVE UTTERLY DIED IN VAIN.

What metric? Throwing out the baby with the bathwater? I'm not suggesting to throw a man's life work out because he acted out in a portion of his life things that we only experience by breaking those Laws, Spiritually. We just know that those portions of our lives lived sinning deeply, are not...

"John Calvin was...in favor of beheading and burning at the stake those who disagreed with him" = Horror. So, we know that God didn't Call Calvin, or Lead him, to do that. "For as many as are Led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God", Romans 8:14. If you do not see The Eternal...

I'm 'others'. Those faithful men were taught "all things I have Commanded you", which included the carrying out of the Great Commission, which was Entrusted to them as a local church entity Organization-Organism. Then through their hands-on, person-to-person Preaching the Gospel, they made...

TOO SHORT. DIDN'T ANSWER. INFORMATION OVERLOAD.

”The Whole World” can only be understood to be expressing only of those for whom Christ is an Advocate, as we see in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is Born of God: and every one that Loveth Him that Begat Loveth Him also that is Begotten of Him.” “The Advocacy of...

THERE IS NO "INVATATION" TO LOST SINNERS "who are laboring in the service of sin and Satan, are laden with Iniquity, and insensible of their Offensive sinful acts by birth, and choice, practice, and habits: because these are not weary of sin, nor burdened with their sins against God; nor do they...

No answers to my simple questions... "our" = ____________ "the Whole World" = _______________ Yes, He does. The Bible as Inspired by The Holy Spirit Means just what it says, when He says, "all men". The question then is "What does it say?", by also discerning what it can't possibly be...

"Wherefore, 5. It is not wrong also by "all men" to understand 'some of all sorts of men and women', as Austin did long ago, and is the sense in which the word "all" is to be taken in many places; "as in Gen. 7:14; "They, and every beast after his kind, and "all" the cattle after their kind...

Charles Spurgeon said that he had a meaning for "all men" in II Timothy 2:1-4 that the text "fairly bears", But does it really, at all, in any way whatsoever? Is it within the realm of possibility that Charles Spurgeon could be shortsighted in his use of Hermenutics? You may be surprised at...

A lady once asked me why God would ever Choose some lost souls and not others. She said that she didn't get that. I told her I had the answer and turned to Ephesians 1:8b "According to His Good Pleasure which He hath Purposed in Himself." Do you get it? How did I do? I believe that is it, that...

The Foundational Premise of the Doctrines of Grace is The Counsel of Peace and Eternal Covenant of Grace, Among the Triune Godhead. "Their" are simply Bible believers. As with so many others, who disappoint themselves by knowing that they are guessing, the 'shame' you have is a non-system of...

Once we are Enabled to see that the plain sense makes sense we have what God would have us to understand. I'm thinking that any explanatory commentary is well distinguished from the Bible text, for clarity, etc. There was just one Organized and Established church at that time in existence...

in JERUSALEM. in JERUSALEM. in JERUSALEM. Jerusalem isn't mentioned, but it was the first and only local church body assembly that Jesus had Founded, up until that time. After the church in Jerusalem was persecuted, most of them scattered around to these other areas and eventually Organized...

My Post #49; Dispensational Truth - In Time & Eternity and my Post #51 Dispensational Truth - In Time & Eternity both have the late Elder Milburn Cockrell as their source, in each of the quotes in those two posts with quotation makes around them ("xxx"), who I failed to cite and give credit...

There never was and never will be any concept or anything called "the universal church" that Jesus Knows anything about and Jesus Knows His Bible. The general population of saved souls outside the membership of one of the Lord's churches, who are in the Kingdom of God comprised of all saved...
