Is man restricted to his own Nature?

see, you just look to cause trouble! I was NOT comparing myself to anyone, but stated the fact that there are times when we have to say things, that may cause offense to some, as the Gospel Message is just that!

 

Now, this is more nonsense! I know many unsaved who do NOT hate God, or "enemies" of God. Sure they are deceived and lost, but that does not mean that they are enemies of God! You guys with your warped "theology", sure to put-off people by your, hard, unloving language! I was 20 when I was saved, and I never did hate God at any time!

 

I have read where ISAIAH compares at the time rebellious Israel as filthy rags.

Same chapter he says:
Isaiah 64
5You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.

By virtue of the same flawed theological logic, God rejoices in everyone! just because Isaiah mentions it.

By all means show me the verse where GOD says everyone is a filthy rag .

To state a person deserves hell equates to you believing that God should be insulted for an eternity.

 

You make allot of assumptions...1st do you even know what the Westminster Confessions even is and who adheres to them? Certainly not Baptists! As a side note, I keep hearing in the innermost recess of my mind the Jethro Tull song “thick as a brick”...don’t be that!

 

I understand Ref. IMO Labels are a necessary evil.

All they really do is warn folks of each others territorial boundaries. We are a territorial race we humans and we go to war to protect whats in our domain. religion certainly no exception.

And some of that is (or has become) an unfortunate necessity to protect ourselves and those to whom Christ has given to us to guard.

My own labels: Christian, Trinitarian, Baptist, progressive dispensationalist, Mugwump (Truly undecided about C/A)

That's enough. Head is spinning now (figuratively speaking).

Take two Alka-Seltzer and call me in the morning.

 

I never brought up her hypocrisy--> "Name calling and assaulting a person's character is uncharitable"

Of which total depravity and deserving to go to hell is the paramount uncharitable insult that can be brought forth against anyone.

There is no name calling or assault of character WORST, nothing that holds a candle then being told you worth nothing and deserve hell,

I'm all ears if you got assault or name calling thats worst, please give an example.

Acts 10

28And he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

I flat out show you a verse against your stance.^


Its hypocrisy.


"I would provide the scriptures that have been cited previously but it's folly to do so because you will not read or interact with them in an honest manner."

You won't provide scripture because you don't have any.

Not saying you are,
A chicken will always cop out, always relies on deception, always a liar.


I love all scripture and would gladly go word for word to what it says. Quite confidently NOTHING supports your position.


The idea that a person DESERVES to actively sin against God is satanic in origin.

 

OK Doc.

RE: Hating God
For this reason, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to show us that we hated Him.

We are/were unaware of it. else there is no need for a revelation of a Savior.


7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

To believe not on Jesus Christ is to hate God and be the recipient of His wrath.

John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Paul and peter both quoted Isaiah though, and agreed with him that we are in sin, do not seek God, and will die in our sins!

 

I believe in "Total Inability."

Do you?

 

Please forgive my ignorance. I no longer believe in Total Inability.

I'll stick with TULIP!

 

Is sin and evil in His Permissive Will?
