I agree that He knows everything. I also know that sometimes He doesn’t know everything. Sounds like a contradiction, right? But it’s all in God’s Word. Why are so many Christians too afraid to say “I just don’t know”? Can any of us honestly say that we know the full extent of the Holy Trinity...

I’m not an open theist and I reject Molonism. All I’m doing is believing everything scripture says as literally as possible and I do not try to ask questions that we probably shouldn’t be asking. God has not completely revealed to us how He operates behind the scenes. Deuteronomy 29:29 The...

Thank you for your input, Brother Van. Many times we are falsely accused of open theism because we say that because God intentionally limits His knowledge, that means He learns what happened later on. They fail to understand that it doesn’t mean He doesn’t know every possible outcome and it...

I am not an open theist and I believe that God is sovereign. What I don’t believe is that man can try to have God “figured out” with any type of systematic theology.

Those who support the doctrine of exhaustive foreknowledge will often cite the same hand full of proof-texts. Isaiah 46:21-2 Present your case,” says the Lord. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob. “Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former...

Are you saying that Jesus could have fallen too? If so, that is called Nestorianism and has been condemned as heresy for for centuries.

You have to understand that what the text is saying is descriptive, not prescriptive.

Since we are all born in Adam, it makes one wonder, was Adam a saved man at the time of his creation? If so, then he was still a saved man after he fell. That means he never lost the ability to choose between good and evil and neither did we.

I agree that it is something we should all strive for, but all of us will fall short at times. So is it your understanding that the doers of the law will be justified as long as they try their best?

Are you a fulfiller of the law?

The Calvinist has a hard time making that distinction. The natural man, without being drawn to Christ, can’t come to Christ on their own. But if the natural man is being drawn to Christ then they are able to make that decision. John 10:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all...

I have noticed that many here have unfortunately resorted to insults by dismissing your efforts to explain this clear Biblical teaching as “Vanology”. 1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the...

Looks like you win. I can’t compete with that level of intelligence.

If you took the time to read one of the verses the OP stated it would all make sense to you. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Simply worshipping God does...

I comprehend what you have said very clearly and I think it is dangerous to mislead others with that type of thinking.

So in other words, you think she was regenerate because she observed the law. Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

I will give you my basis as to why Lydia could not have been regenerated prior to coming to faith. Ephesians 2:3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the...

You are correct. Every person is spiritually discerned unless they are being drawn to Christ.

I’d like to see you have your own Wikipedia page before I start taking your education seriously. ;)
