He is talking about the nation of Israel to the Romans. Btw, there were a lot of Jews in Rome. They weren't all Gentiles (Paul for example). These Jews were getting upset because they assumed that they were saved simply because they were Jewish. They assumed that they were "children of God"...

It should pretty clear to me that Paul is trying to explain to the Gentiles why God didn't break His promises with Israel and that just because someone isn't an Israelite that doesn't mean they cannot be children of God. He also is trying to explain that just because someone is an Israelite, it...

Well...Romans 9 is clearly describing the nation of Israel and not intended to be normative for all people. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I admit that I am in agreement with imalive. It seems more logical that if God predestined some to be saved that those he did not predestined would be destined to be damned by default. It is like a basketball captain picking his team on a playground basketball court. Except in this case, He is...

Agreed. Which is why we need to seriously take a look at the genre. Is it historical narrative, poetic allegory, ect...? We also have to ask ourselves who is witnessing the conversation between God and the satan to have recorded it? Why was the dialogue in poetic form? Also, why is the book of...

Colossians 2 is Paul expresses concern against false teachers among the Jews (v.*4,*v.*6,*v.*7), and against the Gentile philosophy (v.*8-12). He represents the privileges of Christians (v.*13-15).and concludes with a caution against the judaizing teachers, and those who would introduce the...

Please, with all due respect. I highly recommend that you read a systematic theology textbook. I am not trying to insult you. I hope you believe me when I say this. However, it seems obvious to me that you don't know what you are talking about. I apologize if this may offend. But it is blatantly...

MennoSota has no idea what he is talking about. He believes "double-predestination" is a made up "fantasy word" he thinks apologetics is "apologizing for the Gospel", that determinism is "deism", and "sola scriptura" means "reading the KJV bible alone alone and figure it out yourself". It is...

What exactly is your definition of Sola Scriptura? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Wouldn't an omniscient God know if someone would accept or reject the Gospel regardless if they were actually given the opportunity? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

MennoSota, why are you putting limitations on God? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Or God can choose some and allow the rest to decide for themselves? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

That is not "double predestination in his mind". It's merely "double predestination". Definition of*double predestination :*the theological doctrine that God has chosen some to be saved and some to be lost — compare*election,*reprobation...

MennoSota, which God is smaller: 1. A God who must force His will to maintain His sovereignty? 2. A God who is able to maintain His sovereignty and have his will regardless of free will. (A God who can have His cake and eat it too)? This is not an either/or issue. It's a both/and. Sent from...

Can someone loose their salvation if they are no longer confident in their salvation. [emoji6] Ok... now I am just being facetious. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Ok...i am confused. I was under the assumption that you supported the doctrine of "once saved always saved". Unless you are suggesting that the devil's attempts are in vain. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Honest question, with hundreds of denominations, who is right? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

That actually wasn't what I was stating. I brought up hebrews because the pastor used it to show that it is "impossible for someone who has been enlightened" to fall away. He then explained that those who apostasy were never truly saved to begin with. They were just giving lip service. My...

Because you probably know more than the collective team of theological scholars who dedicated their lives studying scripture? How's you ancient and Hebrew? These guys cut the KJV middle man and go to the actual manuscripts. I apologize but your comments sounds more like an excuse for wilful...
