    What does God mean when He's Speaking someone being "The Natural Man?"

    Yes. Exactly. In one sentence, you've got it. Some don't even get it if they consider it from a whole book, or the Bible for that matter. While, the deadness of a lost sinner is an immense subject, when God is talking about the soul being 'dead', He simply Means 'dead', and He simply Says...

    The Efficient Cause of Reprobation in The Doctrine of Reprobation is God.

    After having first Sinlessly not Chosen them before they had ever done any Good or Evil, it is not sin, logically*, for God to Decree to Damnation, secondly, those who afterward were Found to be in the perpetual State of sin until the day of their death. *and 'chronologically', as it may be...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    "Deus otiosus (Latin: "inactive god"), and also known as the clockmaker theory, is the belief in a creator god who has entirely withdrawn from governing the universe after creating it or is no longer involved in its daily operation." Unlike classical theism, Deism is the belief in the existence...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    God was no respecter of persons when "the children being not yet born, neither having done any Good or Evil, that the Purpose of God According to Election might Stand...", issued out into one of them being Chosen and the other left. Actually the Bible says, "the children being not yet born...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    "One of the most difficult and detested Doctrines in the Bible is The Doctrine of Reprobation. "However, it is not appropriate for us to reject this Truth merely on account of our own reasons. "A True Preacher of God must teach the Whole Truth of God despite much opposition, because that is...

    The Efficient Cause of Reprobation in The Doctrine of Reprobation is God.

    I. The Term “Reprobation.” "The term “Reprobation” derives from the word reprobate. Reprobate means abandoned, forsaken, left behind. "I make use of the word "rejection" in this article, partly because it is a scriptural phrase and ascribed to God, and partly because it is that act of God...

    Sounds very cool. I really appreciate your zeal. Don't have iPhone or I'd give it a go. ( That may be why others haven't replied. Dunno.)

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    God Created Angels who chose to Fall into sin against Him and when He Created Adam, God Made him mutable and Chose not to Confirm him in his State of Sinless Innocence. God Created Angels and they sinned against Him and will Suffer the Consequences. God did not Choose to Provide a Means of...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    This Divine Interpretation of such Scriptures as 2 Peter 2:1, which we are certain makes no straightforward reference to these False Prophets, or Teachers, being 'bought', with regard to anything having to do with the Salvation of their soul, must be viewed within the context of the Bible, and...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    "ELECTION IS NOT SALVATION" "Arminians charge that Unconditional Election means Unconditional Salvation, and that we teach that men were actually Saved in Eternity. Both charges are groundless, for Election is not Salvation. We were Unconditionally Elected in Eternity to a Conditional...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    This "double for her sins", as it says below, must refer to the twofold captivity, in their Temporal Punishment under the Assyrians and the Romans "double for all her sins"—This can only, in a very restricted sense, hold good of Judah's restoration after the first captivity. For how can it be...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    Your word "selecting" brings an unjust indictment against God, in that there is an Infinite difference between "selecting to Damnation" and "not selecting to Eternal Life". The end result is the same, but the sinner was simply not selected by God by a Positive Decree to Damn them; that is, God...

    Do you really think you know anything about what you call "Calvinism" to believe you could distinguish a "liberty" from it. This is where I would you suggest that you not brag on your ignorance.

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    You follow up your waste of time with the "General vs Specific Argument" saying "There are many different uses of the word", with your Gratuitious Assersion Fallacy where you take the liberty of assuming gratitude has been extended to you to just make something up and say anything vague, then...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    The way God Put that in the Teachings of His Eternally Giving Grace to His Chosen Elect is "I Will have Mercy on whom I Will have Mercy" and it is implied in His Bible Doctrines of Grace that, therefore, not all men Receive His Grace, as in Romans 1:24; "Wherefore God also Gave them Up..."...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    Here this is again, then, "other sheep I have, which are not of this Fold", in context. As long as we remember that just because "the gospel is to be preached to every man" doesn't mean that we can be sure that it has been, or ever will be, as far as trying to include that we could know every...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    The point you are making is concerning your lack of education. Nobody asked what you don't believe, or do. And you can't just suggest something might not be accurate, as a casting aspersion, or as if anybody could possibly care to start with. That's too cheap to talk about, right after you...

    Is there a standard Systematic Theology for IBF churches then?

    As does our Creator God of the Universe, Who is All-Science Knowing, i.e., Omniscient. Since God Created and Invented All Scientific Knowledge, He was Able to Know everything He Revealed in His Holy Word would be Right, from the Day He first Wrote about all of what He'd Made in the Heaven and...
