    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    Easier? It takes a miracle for someone to ‘accept’ the Gospel…it takes the miracle of the new birth.

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    Now that the thread has been derailed over the difference between 'offered' and 'given', perhaps we can upright this train by concentrating on the Question: "How and where does faith come?"

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    I’m sorry to see semantics getting in the way of such a vital topic. 😔

    I saw this on another Forum but it had no responses.

    Faith

    Yes, I believe that’s essentially what that passage is saying.

    Favorite/preferred Bible translation

    The question is 'is there actual proof one way or the other (adding to or diminishing from God's Word?' I find Burgon's views intriguing but sadly full of ad hominems. :( They'd make a stronger case by bringing forth actual evidence of manuscript tampering.

    Faith

    That reminds me of this passage... Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. In this case those born of the promise were persecuted by those born of the flesh.

    Favorite/preferred Bible translation

    The flip side of that view is ‘how do we know that words were not added to the Received Text by some over zealous scribe’? I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if...

    Favorite/preferred Bible translation

    Agreed and I’m glad you said ‘most accurate’ and since we don’t have the original manuscripts, it's impossible to say 'this is thee perfect translation' let alone the perfect body/family of text.

    'God is neither male nor female':

    God has a Son. ITs don't have sons. Jesus was circumcised, ITs aren't circumcised. More apostate mindsets.

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    Like these? Romans 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Romans 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power...

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    Scripture says otherwise. God doesn't operate in the realm of possibilities, that would be a humanized god. Another example of a humanized god, dependent on what others believe and still living in the realm of possibilities. Having free will in light of their blindness and depravity as well...

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    I would phrase it more like 'made willing to believe' but I wouldn't use the concept of robots. We have been set free to believe and worship. Also it isn't my thinking. Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without...

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    I think Romans 10 covers why preaching is necessary quite nicely… How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written...

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    Perhaps it has been a discussion in the past but my point is I didn’t bring it up in this thread. Maybe you should address those ‘other people’ I took it to refer to the do nothing ‘quietism’ of the Quakers.

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    God had pre-chosen some but other than that I don’t recall bringing up the topic of limited atonement as you seem to hint at. Even an Anglican like J.I. Packer said concerning God’s sovereignty, ‘we preach because we are commanded to’. God uses means in the edification of His Body, e.g...

    House shutters

    That's useful, the problem is getting it to the same uniform tint without having to sand it all, especially the individual slats.

    What's the secret to growing tomatoes?

    Show them a bottle of Ketchup (a cheap brand is preferable) and remind them of their fate if they don’t behave.
