I went to WV some years ago to visit an old Army buddy for a few days. He was a SB and we had already made plans to go to his Church before I left on Sunday afternoon. When I walked in the Church that Sunday morning they were throwing footballs to each other all through the seated...

That's what God does for us who trust in Him, He turns the evil against us into good through His love for us.

Anytime that Paul uses the word "faith or believe" he is referring to what Christ did on the Cross for us. "His power to us-ward who BELIEVE" is the power through the Holy Spirit to live a holy life by what Christ did for us on the Cross. "According to the working of His mighty power" is the...

God is not the only one who searches throughout time for those who will obey Him, Satan does the same thing and is very successful at it. Adolf Hitler would be a prime example. Satan used him in the attempt to wipe out the Jews to stop the prophecy of Israel becoming a nation again...

That's how Satan works, as proof from the Garden in the very beginning. He mixes in a few lies with the truth and expands on it over time.

Augustine was influenced by the great pagan philosopher, Plato, and John Calvin took what Augustine started and took it to it's conclusion. Followers of Calvin took it even further to what we have today, a theology from pagan roots.

It's a simple reference to all of mankind. You can't even take the Scripture for what it obviously says. Got to hold on to the lies, and that's fine, you will face God with them.

You 5 pointer's had to come from another planet we don't know about!

Look it up, Ky, it's referring to all of mankind. ἀνδρὸς (an-dros): This is the nominative singular form of the noun ἄνθρωπος (anthropos), which means "man" or "human being". In Acts 17:30, it's used in a collective sense to refer to all people.

When someone denies that God has called all men everywhere to repent, and that Christ died for the sins of the whole world, which is plain unmistakable Scripture, there's nothing one can do but pray for that person.

Not ignoring Rom. 10, you are distorting every verse of Scripture you quote. I've never seen anyone so confused in Scripture. So I go back to the simple things that you can understand, but still deny.

God gave me something I could have never achieved for myself, there was no hope, something I in no way deserve. But He gave it to me anyway! Just as He gave it to Abraham. Gen 15:6 "And he (Abraham) believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness." Did Abraham save himself?

Ok, if you believe I saved myself, then for sure I saved myself. That's fine with me. Or you can see it the way I see it. I accepted the free gift of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Accepting or rejecting the Holy Spirit's call when hearing the Gospel is not a provision of salvation! He has everything you need to be saved, but if you reject it there can be no provision given. I had nothing to do with providing myself with the necessities of salvation., He provided...

There's an old analogy that explains the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It's given in construction terms. 1) The owner 2) The architect 3) The contractor God the Father is the owner of everything. God the Son is the architect that drew up the plans for everything. God the Holy...

Everything for salvation is provided by the Holy Spirit.

You're making a useless point, BF. God has called ALL MEN EVERYWHERE to repent, if you believe the Scripture. Since God has called all men everywhere to repent, the remnant can't be the choosing of God, He wants all to repent. But we know that all men everywhere are not going to repent...

I agree, they both go together and can't be separated in salvation. Some will say that repenting is because one is believing when they hear the Gospel, and believing is because one see' his wrong in repenting. It really doesn't matter, I don't think, both most work together for salvation to...

BF, God has called all men everywhere to repent, Acts 17:30. Only the ones who choose (the remnant) to believe and repent are the called of God. You are completely distorting this Scripture.

Man is born of water to enter into this world, this is the physical birth being born through the sack of water in a woman's womb. But man must be born-again to enter heaven, this is being born of the Spirit, the regeneration by the Holy Spirit that places you in Christ. Being sealed by the...
