Ah ha.... I knew you didn't know the answer. Which one do you think?

That free will exists is generally accepted. How it operates is a little more disputed.[/QUOTE]

Ahhh Proverbs 16:9 again rises to the surface. What truth!

Hi WIA,

I've always enjoyed reading your posts and to the conversations we've had over time. I've requoted your reply above just as a thought holder more than a counterpoint.

The age long...

Sounds like you have a wise and patient pastor.

I know you will disagree with my reply, but since you openly ask, I will offer up my reply.... For I see there are two types of Christians, God-breathed and self-proclaimed. It's to the...

And well you should not accept this DD, for this robot and puppet metaphor is man contrived. Do you think Jesus was God's puppet?

Luke 22:42 saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup...

Why? Because they reject Christ. Simple.[/QUOTE]

Personally, I see this as the wrong question to ask and answer. I wonder why God saves some when all of us deserve Hell?

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.

You bet !

Hi Seeking, I don't think Nick is stating that God predestines us to sin, but to say that God is Sovereign. I believe Nick miss-used the word 'free will' to show choice not being free, when his...

Amen !

Hi Dan... If I may help clarify, well actually you really clarified Monergism best within your next post quoted....

Hey BD... I happened to stop by this evening and saw you came back to post... Been a long time. Boy do I miss the good old days, for we had some great theological discussions and it always was...

Not following your line of thinking here Slug... This is regarding Jesus, not the church today, for I no of no church today that turns what into wine.



Again I'm not following you... You are...

In short, Man's temptation is from within - for all men born are born sinful and have a sinful nature. See James. Jesus on the other hand was conceived differently, for as God in the flesh, the Holy...

Is this experience speaking or can you document this via scriptures?

First off, you waffle between bashing the Reformed Theology and Calvinism, thinking they are one in the same. They are not. Second What Jesus did was satisfy God's will. Jesus did not 'pay for' the...

We all talk the same way... When a Sports reporter writes: And the whole stadium was on their feet cheering, does [s]he mean every single person or a majority? I'll tell you... [s]he writes not to...

That's not an accurate understands though Mark. You're describing double predestination, for which is not a blanket understand by all Reformers. It would be correct to say that the Glory of God is...

OK then name one? Not trying to be trite, but everyone battles for the invisible man, when there is not battle to fight for.




Man has no excuses that is a get out of hell card... Faith by...

John 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."

33 But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

Romans 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

Why do you judge it a false invitation? Is it not the response you seek to judge? Only the response is limited, is it not?




Is not Satan His enemy? Did Jesus die for him too? And what about...

Why do you pose your own questions, then ascribe them as my views, and defend against your own words as if they were mine? You used the wrong verse in quoting Proverbs 23:7 This has nothing to do...

Yet, it's still all about God. You could do nothing, unless it were given to you to do by God.



No... that its you miss-applying a verse and ascribing to me your miss-connecting the dots of...

I can fly on the wings of the Lord, for you see, it's all about God bestowing, not man first desiring. ;)





It most certainly is real... it's not the invitation that is false, it's your...

John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John....

Well stated : Stated well.

Gotcha! Thanks

That is correct in that after the fall, man's heart is poisoned, and is evil in all it ways... However it was not always the case, but yes,
