    Why Does Evil Exist?

    My mentor has a Masters from Moody and likes to say "I'm not their mother. My responsibility is to tell what I know. I am not responsible for making them believe it."

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    Aw heck, people can debate the topic "a". I have spilled many an electron with JWs over "and the Word was (a) God". :thumbsdown: But Calvinism and Arminianism do not seem to fall into THAT category. It is one thing to deny who Jesus is, that is 'shake the dust off' territory and leave them to...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    Your definition of Limited Atonement seems to differ greatly from what I was taught that phrase means by Calvinist sources. Ironically, I came to the other 4 points of TULIP from reading the bible for myself while attending the Church of God (non-Calvinist) before I had ever even heard of...

    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    No, of course not. However, we cannot paraphrase Philipians 2:12 ("So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;") written by Paul and ascribe the quote to Jesus as her post...

    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    Where did JESUS teach that? Your link did not include even a single quote from Jesus. (Your statement is not false, I merely challenge you to provide better Biblical support.)

    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    Respectfully, I am not the one confused in this non-conversation. I never said you believed in Universal Salvation. I said most of the the "proof verses" you listed say nothing close to what you claim they support. Your response fails to touch anywhere close to my point. You just repeat...

    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    1 Tim 2:4 ... maybe, I would need to look closer at the context to offer a meaningful opinion. 2 Peter 3:9 ... No, not really. Looking at it in context: 2 Peter 3:3-9 NASB 3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4...

    Luther and the Jews

    The Patriarchs took wives from people outside the decendents of Abraham, Issac and Jacob (Israel) and God even continued to bring Gentiles into the lineage of the Messiah right up to the Moabitess Ruth, grandmother of King David. The Jews should takes less pride in their paternal roots and more...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    I am a firm MONERGIST, so I agree 100% that salvation is not because of works. I only pointed out where the Bible says the same thing as the part of the Creed you attacked. The Athanasion Creed is NOT unbiblical. (That was my only point.)

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    So Universalism. (You have other far clearer statements from Jesus that make that conclusion problematic.) John 6:43-44 NASB Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Universalism? Or was He not yet lifted up? (Because I can assure you that ALL PEOPLE are not drawn to Jesus. Many do not like him.) I think we need some sort of statement of your thoughts on that scripture.

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Yes, (John 6:33-34) but it would drag us further off topic.

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    GOD HAS FAVORITES: Deuteronomy 7:6 NASB “For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. Psalm 33:12 NASB Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Why are some saved and not other? Because God loves some more than others. So the question then becomes, why does God love some more than others? To which I respond: How should I know? Ask God.

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Romans 2:5-10 NASB 5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for...

    Homosexuals and salvation

    When I got converted, God called me to leave the gang violence, arson and criminal enterprise behind. Jesus gave me a new heart to enable me to do what He had asked of me. I see no reason the Father, Son and Spirit would not require and empower other sinners to leave their old life of sin and...

    Finding Jesus in the Old Testament

    Genesis 3:15 NIV And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” The offspring (Hebrew singular) of the woman is Jesus, who was struck (wounded) by the 'serpent' (Satan) and crushed his head (all power...

    Hebrews 12:6-8

    Hebrews 12:4-11 NASB 4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, “MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM; 6 FOR...

    Why celebrate Jesus birth on December 25?

    Winter Solstice is December 21, 22, or 23. It is NEVER December 25 or January 6-7. The Festival of Saturnalia would have been over before Christmas. The story of Christmas being based on Saturnealia smacks of Urban Myth.
