    Faith

    Yes, Arminians have their own Tango/Tangle of mysteries to navigate, often coming up short of doctrinal coherence, so why one and not the other, except some explanations are more coherent than the others. Are you saying, ‘which partner one picks is the important thing? I’ll pick Jesus. (That was...

    Faith

    God also knows who ALL of us are…corrupt sinners apart from Christ. I believe we are all ‘of the flesh’ until we are placed into Christ through faith, until then we have the serpent’s nature. (Eph 2:2,3)

    Faith

    I'm taught by logicians that this line of thinking is an 'appeal to mystery'; but then we have... 1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Which causes me to be wary of 'airtight'...

    Did God hate Esau because he ‘was of the flesh’? Or was Esau ‘of the flesh’ because God hated him (did not bestow his grace/blessing on him)?

    Faith

    This is the one 'sticking point' I have from being 'all in' with Calvinism as portrayed in it's Counter Remonstrance position. I just can't see how God can judge fairly by pronouncing 'Guilty!' those whom He has predestined to perdition or even has 'passed over' in election. Perhaps I'm the...

    Faith

    My take is perhaps similar to yours. In context Paul is dealing with the issue of why not all the Israelites are coming to faith in their Messiah. In verse 6 Paul explains 'They are not all Israel which is of Israel', meaning God has His elect (remnant) from the Israelites. There are some...

    Faith

    Thanks for using a smidge of Scripture, only problem is it does not apply to the present discussion, unless of course ...you are God. I already do (1Cor 15:10) I'll question man's doctrines (i.e. test the spirits) like Calvinism, but not God's Word. Your metaphors (like straight jacket...

    Faith

    Nice piece of mockery, but we know what happens to those who question God’s Word. Luke 1:18 KJV And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

    I ran across this 'cute' definition of faith today ...and like it. “Faith is believing God and asking no questions.”

    German's are considered European white colonialists by the Woke crowd. Ist das nicht so?

    How accurate is the Bible?

    If Genesis in itself is inaccurate. we, as Christians might as well throw in the towel and give up the faith, for we are serving an inaccurate God (or depicted as such) and therefore can't be trusted. Besides, if one part is inaccurate whose to say the other accounts (even the Gospel and...

    Once Saved, Always Saved

    Yes!!! (Php 1:6) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: It just hinges on whether or not Jesus has begun His good work in the Christian.

    Regeneration acc. to Lutherans?

    Thanks for the link, this is about as close as I can get.. "III. Effects of Conversion. Through conversion and faith the believer is made a child of God (Gl 3:26); enters the kingdom of God; is, for Christ's sake, declared just and absolved from all guilt and punishment (Ro 3:28; 8:33); has...

    Regeneration acc. to Lutherans?

    You had said earlier, "The pastor replied that the older he got, the more he could see how sinful he was." I asked, "Wouldn't that be part of the growth process?" Isn't our growth in Christ sort of a process of God strengthening our faith by showing us our failures through trials and...

    Regeneration acc. to Lutherans?

    Thank you for your view. Should there be any 'growth' or 'progress' in the strengthening of ones faith as we see the progression in Abraham's life, or is it a forever push/pull struggle until then?

    Regeneration acc. to Lutherans?

    I'm speaking in personal terms, not in order to judge others, and yes we 'have our days', but in general, won't there be a desire to learn of God, to worship Him in spirit and truth, to please Him, a hatred of our former lifestyle (drugs witchcraft, drinking, theft etc.),..or do we continue...
