    What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

    When I say that our lives are predetermined I believe that covers answering the phone tomorrow or not, therefore I agree with your rather sophisticated syllogism. When I contend for our free will, I suggest it was during the time before any sin had yet occurred and will occur again after the...

    What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

    Mark 3:28–30: "Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin—for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."" This tells me there is a...

    What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

    It is infallible due to HIS predestinating our lives for us to achieve HIS purpose for us while in our self chosen state of big fallen.

    What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

    ImCo, consign is the wrong word as if it was arbitrary. The proper word is judgement. Those judged to have sinned the unforgivable sin are consigned to hell once their bad example is no longer necessary, Matt 13:27-30, while those who sinned only forgivable sins are consigned to heaven as HIS...

    What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

    PCE theology suggests that HIS omniscience about our lives is due to HIS predestination of them to fulfill HIS promise of election or damnation after everyone made their free will uncoerced choices to accept HIM or to reject HIM. HIS predestination of our lives did NOT create our fates but only...

    What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

    The basic tenet of Pre-Conception Existence Theology is that we all existed as spirits in a spirit society BEFORE the creation of the physical universe which ALL the children of GOD saw, Job 38:7. During this time we all heard GOD's proclamation of Deity, HIS offer of marriage to us and the call...

    Genesis 1:1-3: How is liquid water present prior to 'light'?

    Goodness cannot create evil. If we apply what we know of physical light to Gen 1:3 and following verses we get mired pretty fast if we see it as only physical light...so I suggest we understand it as alluding to something else. Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was...

    What is the unity of the Trinity?

    Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One [echad]. Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one [echad] flesh. Echad can refer to the word one and to the word unity, as Gen 2:4 indicates. We...

    Five Serious Questions About the Animals & God

    I presented scripture that animals were considered to be evil. To prod a discussion I suggested that that may imply a free will. I asked if their free will descent into sin might not imply they can be redeemed. If you don't want to think about scripture most people hide their eyes from so be...

    Five Serious Questions About the Animals & God

    Please consider that IF the reason we live here on earth with the weeds until we are holy enough for the weeds to be gathered and burnt without harm to us, Matthew 13:27-30: 27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come...

    Five Serious Questions About the Animals & God

    I also love my dogs but sinners can be loved, right? Are animals sinful? 1. The serpent was said to be cunning in evil ABOVE the rest of the animals which implies they are sinful lite so to speak. 2. The serpent was cursed ABOVE the other animals which implies they got a lighter curse for...

    God is Sovereign! What did she say?

    INDEED! But the logistics of that provision and its implementation would seem to need more scrutiny... The doctrine of our being created on earth as sinners liable to the judgement upon sinners of suffering and death obviously contradicts the loving character of GOD who is righteous and just...

    God is Sovereign! What did she say?

    GOD's sovereignty serves HIS loving, righteous and just nature. That is, HE cannot do anything that is NOT loving, righteous and just just because HE can because HE is sovereign! Sovereignty means that if HE wants to express HIS holiness into HIS creation HE can and will - HE is...

    Jacob and Esau, two brothers, two nations: GEN 25:19-28:9

    Perhaps they were some of the sons of GOD who sang HIS praise when HE gave proof of HIS divinity and eternal power by the creation of the physical universe as per Job 38:7 and Romans 1:18-20 and before conception He discussed with them some things about the lives they would have once they were...

    Jacob and Esau, two brothers, two nations: GEN 25:19-28:9

    What does the word "Torah" mean?

    Thank you, this is very interesting...but such interpretations do not avoid basing conclusions upon past decisions... The step further in the connection between Israel and in the beginning before the foundation of the word, could be that Israel [ALL the Sons of GOD: Job 38:7] was actually there...

    Calvinism: God is waiting on God to finish saving sinners before moving forward

    GOD is not waiting for GOD to do anything...GOD has given HIS sinful but legitimate children perfect lives to bring them to redemption and sanctification ACCORDING TO OUR NEEDS AS STUBBORN AND REBELLIOUS in our fragility. Becoming holy and only choosing righteousness is a prerequisite for the...
