    Decision Theology

    It's the cross that gives us forgiveness of sins. The Resurrection is what gives us hope of being resurrected. Unregenerate man will not believe, for the cross is foolishness to him. You haven't addressed that part of scripture yet. It takes the Gospel to convert and when that happens, man...

    Decision Theology

    The Holy Spirit uses the Word for us to "hear" the Gospel. As you know, even the deaf can "hear" the Gospel because it's not just auditory. Someone can "read" the Gospel and the Holy Spirit will convert that person according to His will. The Word is preached and the Holy Spirit uses that to...

    Decision Theology

    Wow. You have really taken away all that God has said He does to save us and put it onto man. The ORDER as you so put it is simultaneous. God gives faith and that's conversion. It happens at the same time. There is no separation as you keep trying to put it. You have put man's reasoning into...

    Decision Theology

    You have not correctly stated the position that Josiah and I have been putting forth (not in post 86, not anywhere here in this thread). It shows that you are not reading what we have been saying since when you try to reiterate it in your own words, you don't clearly state what God does as we...

    Decision Theology

    Another bad thing about decision theology is it makes it appear as if God has to ask our permission before He can bring salvation unto us. That's not biblical.

    Decision Theology

    But that's the problem. You're setting that "gospel" up as if preaching the Gospel hasn't already caused faith to be placed upon that person by God. We receive what God gives, but we aren't actively grasping for it as if God's hand is just out of reach. He gives faith. He doesn't reach His hand...

    Brings out the worst in people

    I've seen that happen in families, especially when no will is involved. My sister and I talked already about what will happen when our father passes, and most of the stuff I'm letting her have first choices. She holds onto items for memories more than I do, so it means much more to her. As for...

    What I Like About Lutheranism

    Well stated, Josiah!! Of course, I agree :) I love how it's easy to see how God takes care of us. It's pure love and comfort. The joy of the Gospel!

    What's under your bed?

    A T-Square, cutting mat, mat boards (hey, I'm an artist LOL), and my husband's grandmother's silver.

    Cancer

    For the cancer I had on my tongue, I had a lesion underneath my tongue for 10 years. It was a small white lesion and my dentist kept an eye on it and told me if it ever changed we would have a biopsy done. I moved away and went to a different dentist and he said the same thing. It was at the 10...

    Decision Theology

    You inserted NOTHING about God in your statement about what you think we believe. So go back, rewrite it according to what Josiah and I have written (repeatedly).

    Decision Theology

    It's obvious you aren't really reading what Josiah and I have been saying. You stated, "But, you are not born again out of the blue. One day you are an atheist or a non-believer, and then poof, to your amazement, your born again? How silly." That in itself shows you haven't read what we have...

    Ephesians 2:5 that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God's grace that you have been saved.

    EXACTLY! What can come to life except that God brings life first?

    Decision Theology

    I'm really surprised you're asking how God can being someone to life who is dead and can't hear. THIS is exactly why you trust in your decision instead of the almighty Lord to save you.

    New Problem

    I'm in the LCMS and we will definitely give you the good news about the Savior and feed you to strengthen your faith. You can be sure that God has you in the palm of His hand.

    Decision Theology

    Exactly! Decision Theology thinks that God needs our permission before we can have salvation from Him. Adam didn't ask for permission to be alive. Lazarus didn't ask for permission to be brought back to life. Decision Theology minimizes the position that the non-believer is in instead of fully...

    Brings out the worst in people

    Talking about Religion and Politics COULD bring out the worst in people. It only takes the mere mention of something that someone disagrees with to be set off (in my husband's family).
