I deplored the idea of predestination. I thought the Wesleyan Arminianism taught so well at the Church of God of Anderson Indiana (founded by preachers that crossed the Great Plains in covered wagons preaching the Gospel to whomever would listen) made complete and perfect sense. The issue that...

How many non-Calvinists have you met that expect to hear “I never knew you”? (I don’t think that is a Calvinist/Arminian trait … just a human trait). As an aside, when I was an unsaved nihilist, I viewed the existence of God as very unlikely … but if God did exist, I fully acknowledged that I...

I respectfully disagree since most ‘non-Calvinistic’ Christians border on biblically illiterate. ‘Free Will’ just feels right and it just makes sense to most that hold the view. (Which is what makes Biblically Literate non-Calvinists so precious.) Nobody embraces ‘Calvinism’ because it just...

I did. You asked a specific question about “who is He talking about” and I answered it. Sorry if you did not like my answer, but that is your problem.

Those biological Jews that were rejecting Christ and persecuting the Church. We saw it played out in Acts 2 when all present were Jews … some heard God glorified in a miracle and some heard drunken nonsense. Some had their hearts pierced at Peter’s words and some mocked the miraculous work of...

Ephesians 2:11-22 [NASB95] Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," [which is] performed in the flesh by human hands-- [remember] that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the...

I watched (read) it. It was full of lies and misrepresentations.

[1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 ] 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of [the] archangel and with...

[1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV] 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor...

[1Th 4:15-17 NASB95] 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of [the] archangel and with the...

No. I have answered the exact same question several times already. You are not listening, you are only waiting to speak. I am tired of trying to talk to you … I quit … you win.

Sure, they are all built on factually false premises. America has been materially blessed, which has made it rich and powerful, but it has never been a Holy nation. I am reminded of the famous words of Winston Churchill: “America can always be counted on to do the right thing; after they have...

Yes. Hosanna Revival Bibles are sold on Amazon, at Target, at Lifeway (a large Christian Store), Esty and direct from the company. They do appear to specialize in making books that are more attractive than the typical bulk publisher and from what I read often work with large publishers to...

Let’s try answering you again, from the beginning. God should not destroy America because America is not now, and has never been His country. Therefore God has no reason to expect America to act as if it was or is His country. Is that clear enough even for you?

Are you punking me? I never claimed that you said America was a theocracy. What I said was: Israel is a Theocracy and America falls into the group “ALL OTHER countries”. I claimed that Israel was different from all other countries. I do not know how I can express my opinion any clearer.

Test drive the different translations. Here is a link to the Blue Letter Bible, an online Bible that allows you to change between various translations. Pick a section that you are familiar with and find important to you (perhaps John 3 or Ephesians 2) and read it in several versions. See...

Not “just because”, but that is part of the reason. God established Israel as a Theocracy, so His country has rules that are unique and different from ALL OTHER countries. As for all countries except Israel: God will deal with “the world” all at once at the end. America is part of “the world”...

Was America more Christian when a man could not vote or hold office in the Virginia colony unless he belonged to the State Church? Was it more or less Christian to deny other “brothers in Christ” basic civil liberties because they refused to join our denomination and accept its dogma? Was...

No. Yes and no. God’s people were among those that populated North America, but probably never a majority. Sorry, I don’t know how to answer the metaphor. There has always been a waning and waxing preaching of the Bible in America. Yes, God has been driven further from the foreground of...
