    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    Let's not enter into flights of fancy. The verse says what it says so there's no need to imagine what might have been. It just says Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. You are most welcome to explain what you...

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    He was addressing the wicked leaders in Judea not too long after the Lord was crucified. That is clear and easy to see. Are you suggesting that such men were able to resist the Holy Spirit but no one else can?

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    I had to delete the personal insults for brevity's sake. One verse in saint Stephen's 'sermon' to the Jewish leaders seems quite adequate to point to their restating the Holy Spirit as did their forefathers in Israelite unbelief. Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always...

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    Here's chapter seven now you can explain why it does not say (and mean) that faithless Israelites (Jews) resist the Holy Spirit. Acts 7:1-60 Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    No, it was not a good point it was an inaccurate and incorrect interpretation of what the verse teaches.

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    The passage is about Faith meaning that the Lord, Jesus Christ, is the complete and perfect example of faith rather than that Jesus injects faith into each individual who comes to believe the gospel. Let's see what the passage says just to make sure that it is not being misinterpreted. Hebrews...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    Our Lutheran and Calvinist interlocutors are absolutely determined to teach that faith is passively received by 'dead' people and that good works are actively done by dead people because they cannot conceive of any good works being done as part of being in The Way (as Christianity was initially...

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    ten thousand pages eh? Mine has about 400 pages. You must be smoking something illegal. Seems that Acts 7:51's context would be in the book of Acts around Chapter 7.

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    Has the I of TULIP been dispensed with? Irresistible grace it is. This I But can no one resist the Holy Spirit? Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. I wonder if you think that is resistible grace or not?

    Sinless Mary

    It's such fun ... all this endless fighting ... a theological war without end ... it is like those video games ... see who can blow up an enemy first always knowing that there'll be another enemy and then another ad infinitum :smirk: Of course, the subject matter for this war of words is...

    Heresies of the sixteenth century

    31. In the year 1525, Carlostad attacked the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Sacrament, saying that the word this did not refer to the bread, but to the body of Christ crucified. Luther opposed him in his book, ” Contra Prophetas sen Fanaticos ;” in this he first speaks of...

    28. In his book on the Sacrifice of the Mass, we may perceive how remorse torments him. ” How often,” he says, ” has my heart beat, reprehending me Are you always wise ? Do all others err ? Have so many centuries passed in ignorance ? How will it be if you are in error, and you lead so many...

    Heresies of the sixteenth century

    Isn't it for the 'goats' in Matthew 25:31-46? So you'd be happy with witch killing? Then why not heretic killing too? Many have decided that the bible is fiction for reasons like hell-fire and eternal punishment. Is that what you are doing?

    Heresies of the sixteenth century

    They did but did they learn compassion from their tragic persecution at the hands of Catholic and Protestant zealots? Evidently not so much. Many, perhaps most, Mennonites practise shunning. They cut off family and friends from any who dare to doubt the lessons of the elders. In this they do...

    Tradition

    Purgatory is about purging the habits of mind and body related to sinning. Some have spoken of fires that burn and purge others have spoken about torments of various kinds. It is an area where speculative theology has sometimes run amok. I have not researched to see what the Church teaches on...
