"The Meaning of Foreknew in Romans 8:29" I copied this out of a book that I once owned called "The Five Points of Calvinism, Defined, Defended and documented" about twenty years ago. You'll still find it floating around the internet on some forums. I wanted to confront that interpretation that...

Is this point legitimate? Does Tulip change the way people approach Scripture? From A.I. The reverse engineering argument against TULIP The starting point is the outcome, not the text: Critics argue that rather than beginning with the biblical text to form a theology, the TULIP framework...

Leighton Flowers offers a new option, Provisionalism. I think what I like most about this is that it removes the discussion from the traditional framing of the debate, which I never really agreed with anyway. After all, Calvin water baptized infants, so he wasn't a sure theological bet, to be...

Romans 3:10-11 As it is written: "There is none righteous (does good), no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. The immediate context. Vs. 9 "We" Paul is referring to Jews. "Them" is referring to Gentiles. Both Jew and Gentile under the same condition...

I always wondered why the drawings of Daniel Boone and early settlers showed giant trees. They seemed to by in an area that was nothing like the Appalachians that I understood. I always chalked it up to greedy lumber companies. But this is amazing history and a warning of the damage one could...

Total depravity is not really a Calvinist doctrine. The "T" in Tulip actually stands for total inability. Arminians do believe in total depravity/inability. Inability is actually the correct way of stating it. Lets see how your understanding of others beliefs stand up to these. Lets start out...

Warning. The name passport bros has a bad element who recently created the name, but that bad element casts a shadow over the real story, and that is that most of the other men have been going overseas with good intentions to find more traditional wives for a long time now. Recently this has...

From AI... "Will white people be a minority in the United States? Yes, demographic projections by the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources indicate that non-Hispanic white people will become a minority in the United States around 2045. This shift is driven by a combination of factors...

Is our fear of God, or reverence lacking? Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire...

Heard in a lo....ove song. No, But I did hear it on youtube. Heard this in a youtube teaching recently, and thought I would run it by you people and see what you think. Most of this I knew already, but the part about the long game I had never pieced together before. Some of the stuff at the end...

This could potentially be a great qb class this year, me thinks. Many new names are emerging. John Mateer and Fernando Mendoza to name a few. Mendoza could be the first pick when it's all said and done. I think Manning stays in school, but who knows. Top 2026 quarterback prospects Garrett...

Jackson Dart to start for the Giants. That should be interesting to watch. Steelers vs. the Vikings in Dublin Ireland. Sun. 9:30 A.M.

John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not...

I put this in the news and current event forum for a reason. Maybe the political forum merits the same understanding. It's such a simple but profound statement to me. I was actually struck by it, though I understood this already. I had to pause for thought as to why it stuck me so hard. Is it...

I can't believe the Browns just won that game. We usually lose these types of games. If we keep doing that we'll be out of the Fernando Mendoza, the Indiana QB sweepstakes. Sorry GB, I feel ya. Been there, done that already in game one.

Romans 7:18 and Galatians 5:17 Neither one actually says "sin nature' in the Greek. These words never appear together in Scripture as far as a I know. No doubt, we're naturally in bad shape separated from God, but is the term 'sin nature' misleading in any way as to the truth of our natural...

To what extent does ignorance equate to innocence? With children, they are called innocent by God until they reaches a condition (often called age) of accountability. Jewish tradition calls this "Bar mitzvah", or "son of the Law". They believe that at age thirteen a person becomes...

Objections To The Supralapsarian. But we object more particularly to the Supralapsarian scheme. (a) That it is erroneous in representing God as having before His mind, as the objects of predestination, men conceived in posse only; and in making creation a means of their salvation or damnation...
