Most churches today have a limp wristed godling figure they call Jesus and worship. If only they would grab his limp wrist with their free wills he must submit to. But this is not the God of the bible. The Old Testament shows a God of wrath who hates sinners but justifies a few in Christ so he...

Paul says God created all to display his mercy and wrath to the created order. Sin reveals his mercy and also his righteous judgment on the wicked. Without sin, we would not know anything about God's moral attributes.

Many view God as responding to them according to what they do in an interactive sense. They don’t consider that all God has ever done, happened in the times of creation. That God doesn’t respond to our choices, but instead determined our choices in creation. As scripture says, “Known unto God...

Having anyone other than your spouse in your life. Others must be held to a business-like relationship. Your spouse is your only close friend.

God. He hates the wicked and they remain under his wrath unless, by his mercy, he pays for the sins of the few elect from among them and imparts to them a new heart of love.

Did someone mention Predestination? Jesus says whoever believes has eternal life. Only God is eternal. So this means those whom he saves in time have always been saved in his eternal plan. That is before he created time. So Predestination is God's eternal plan unfolding in time for his elect. Do...

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (KJV 1900) “For it has been granted to you not only to believe in Christ but also to...

Did someone mention Faith? “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,” Galatians 5:22 (KJV 1900) Whence cometh it? From the Holy Spirit. It also says: “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set...

This is an updated version of my post under the name DaveL, 1689Dave, over the past several years. Back in the day those claiming to know bible prophecy befuddled me. Little did I know how their forecasts came to be. After many failed prophecies about the Lord’s return, first in 1988, one...

He is no respecter of persons. If he saw any value in anyone, they would share his glory.

Here is the doctrine of Limited Atonement, and with a vengeance: Blood will flow - if the blood is not Christ's, shed on our behalf, it will be ours! "In A.D. 70 the Vine of Israel is cut down and trampled in the Winepress; but this destruction is the culmination of a process which has lasted...

Here is a paraphrase of John Owen's view from the Death of Death in the Death of Christ. The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either: All the sins of all men. All the sins of some men, or Some of the sins of all men. In which case it may be said...

Thanks for your replies. I think the discerning reader, will see what's lacking in your presentation. And learn from what is in mine. It still comes back to election limiting the application of the atonement. And where Jesus told a few Pharisees he did not die for them. John 10 shows that Jesus...

Here's what the Bible states: By Josiah in italics. Dave’s reply (>) 1 John 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. >The promise God made to Abraham was to save not only Jews, as was the case in the Old Testament, but to...

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on thee: Because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 (KJV 1900)

We don't celebrate the holidays so we are happy all the time. Although we might do an Elvis junk food Thanksgiving this year. Corn Dogs, 7-Up Jellow, Banana peanut butter sandwich, etc. My favorite Elvis movie is "Loving You" which we might find a stream to watch.

Why did God create the Universe and all that is therein? Answer this and you will know why God arbitrarily elected certain sinners by name, before time began, and condemned the rest. Paul tells us why in his writings. Total depravity means all hate God and worship idols instead, among other...

I have some verses that identify the elect as the subjects of Christ's death. Also what about some Pharisees Jesus blatantly says he did not die for? John 10 shows that Jesus did not die for the Pharisees in his audience and that is why they did not believe. “I am the good shepherd: the good...

Do you expect to live in a new world where Christ died for every person there? A saved world? This is the only place such a world will exist.

Scripture only teaches Limited Atonement. And people twist all the "proof texts" they try to use against it to mean something God never intended.
