The calling on God comes from the person who hears the Gospel, that is what breaks the barrier of depravity. If the person see's no need for Christ, for whatever reason, they have rejected Christ and the wrath of God abides on them. If the person see's a need for Christ and believes the...

Rom. 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." It's the Calvinists that have twisted this verse to mean that only those God has chosen to believe will actually call on Him. But in reality, outside the horrific lies of Calvinism, God has said, "come unto me...

Oh yes it does! It implies they could have believed if their hearts were in the right place for the things of God. You're free to believe whatever you like, God doesn't force you to believe it, how could I possibly do it?

In the broader view of John 8, there are imposters of the faith all around us, false teachers. They are not of God, they are of their father the devil.

They could not hear, they would not hear, and I have explained why. Christ was showing up the Pharisees for who they were, frauds, not interested in the things of God, which was standing right in front of them. They did not hear because they were not of God, they were imposters of God's...

This is not difficult to understand, once you take the twisting of God's word out the way. Those who created this theory are just as guilty as those Pharisees in John 8.

In John 8:13 we know this conversation was between Christ and the Pharisees. This must be established to understand what is being said to who. Christ tells them they are of their father the devil. Then tells them they will not believe the truth because they are not of God. BF, this means...

Back up 2 verses to John 8:44, Christ is telling them "you are of your father the devil" truth cannot be understood without faith. They could not hear because they didn't want to hear. Those who want the truth and desire it will receive the truth and they will hear God's words and believe...

If I could find anything good about Calvinism it would be their strong stand on faith alone in Christ, apart from any works. But it seems you can't see that I'm right there with you in that truth.

That's the Calvinist way, pick a verse that works for the theory and quote it! Let's take a look at your verse in context. John 6:64-65 "But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said...

From the very beginning salvation has always been justified by faith! The Law of Moses pointed to Christ in the inability to be accepted by God in any other way. If those under the Law were honest with themselves they knew they were guilty before God in doing their best. That is what the...

According to Calvinism anything other than Calvinism is works. So you belong to a elite group, good luck!

Speaking of sorting out, how would you like to have God's job of sorting out every person who has ever lived? I don't envy that responsibility in the least.

Most posters say that because they have read, "Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness." It's justification by faith, what do you call it?

Ok Van, whatever you say.

But what about the Judgment, God will not have called these sinners to repentance, He left them in the dark. He didn't even die for them giving them no chance, according to Calvinism. How will God justify Himself when they ask why they were not given a chance. You know as well as I this is...

You can't possibly believe I'm a Calvinist, believing God individually chooses who will be saved!!! From one absurdity to the next. I can't have conversation with you, Van, it's just ridiculous.

When the Sovereign God asked "if you be willing" was He lowering His standard of Sovereignty or are you misunderstanding His Sovereignty altogether?

Notice the "If you be willing."

How does the Calvinist Dictionary interpret this. Isaiah 1:18-20 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good...
