    Predestination vs Free Will

    IOW, your 1st world theory has no biblical legs to stand on. Why am I not surprised?

    Predestination vs Free Will

    Sorry, but I don't do vids due to time constraints. Why don't you distill Mr. Prince's thesis down for us. I assume this language "expert" has offered some solid biblical support for his viewpoint?

    Predestination vs Free Will

    Oh, indeed, Adam "went along" with Eve's sin. But that doesn't equate to him being tempted by the devil. Plus Paul himself explicitly taught that only Eve was the object of the Serpent's temptation! In fact, Adam has this in common with the devil: Both sinned apart from any external...

    Predestination vs Free Will

    But Adam wasn't tempted by the devil. Only Eve was (2Cor 11:3; 1Tim 2:14). So, what was Adam's excuse? Also, the devil is not charged with introducing sin into this world; Adam is (Rom 5:12ff.), which is precisely why Adam is type of Christ by contrasts. Next, I have no idea what you mean...

    What do you think is "the real reason behind the first sin...by Adam and Eve"?

    Predestination vs Free Will

    I didn't forget about Jn 3:16ff. But I did purposely omit it from my last post because the passage does not explicitly teach that God loves all men on this planet w/o exception. People who read that assumption/presupposition into the passage obviously think that God's love must be unconditional...

    Predestination vs Free Will

    If you believe that then you must believe that God loves all mankind unconditionally w/o exception regardless of their spiritual condition. But that interpretation of God's agape love would fly in the face in at least three categories of scripture: A.) Scriptures that explicitly teach that...

    Predestination vs Free Will

    Please see definition #2 in the following link. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/distributive IOW, "distributive" refers to each and every person within a group without exception. One the most controversial verses in scripture is Jn 3:16. Non-Reformed (NR) Christians generally interpret...

    Predestination vs Free Will

    But that concept of foreknowledge is unbiblical. And for good reason: It militates violently against the doctrine of God's Omniscience. It reduces God to the level of mere mortals who must acquire knowledge. Omniscience demands that God's knowledge is spontaneous, instantaneous and...

    Predestination vs Free Will

    But can man freely make choices that are antithetical to his evil nature? Can a bad tree bear good fruit? Also, will God's saints in the new Eternal Order of his visible kingdom have the capacity to make moral/spiritual choices that are contrary to our new natures? Do you have chapter and...

    Predestination vs Free Will

    God doesn't save all in the distributive sense because He's still exalted and glorified by His Justice just as much as He by His Saving Grace (Job 37:23; Isa 2:11, Phil 2:11 etc.). Even the wrath of man will be to God's praise and glory (Ps 76:10)

    Predestination vs Free Will

    Thank you for your reply. Can you define what you mean by "freewill"? I take it that you believe God has freewill, correct? But if so, then how can his will be free TO act contrary to holy nature, since God cannot sin? Evidently, He does not have the freedom to sin.

    Predestination vs Free Will

    What consideration do you have in mind in the above mentioned passage? Also, have you considered Gen 3:15 with respect to fallen man's relation to God?

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    No, I have not watched that movie. And I certainly believe that God's elect do actually make choices to repent and believe the Gospel -- by only by the grace (power) of God (Act 18:27; Rom 12:3; 1Tim 1:14, etc.)

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Sticking with 2Cor 5:14, since Lamb of God appealed to 2Cor 5, her interpretation cannot be correct unless she is a Universalist. 2Cor 5:14 reads: 2 Cor 5:14 14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. NIV This last qualifying...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    If that's the case, then "all died" [with Him] (2Cor 5:14). And if "all" means all men w/o exception, then everyone must be saved since they died with Him, and this further means "all" will live with Him.

    Is freewill biblical or something we invented as society ?

    The bible says plenty "about the [spiritual] dead". We should all pay more closely attention to the metaphors in scripture; for they are powerful and they're designed for us to draw the parallels between the two kinds of death, i.e. physical and spiritual. Do the physically dead have any...

    I love your tagline. Not only are we justified by another's work but by His righteousness as well.

    Covenant Theology

    There has only been forever one gospel. The first appearance of the gospel rose was in Gen 3:15 when the first bud of it was revealed. But now in the NT, this "mystery" gospel has been fully revealed (Col 1:26) Seriously? Is not the NC the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that through...
