If it is saving faith, it doesn't return void. Lordship salvation is always cart before horse, and probably is given to those who believe another doesn't show they are possessed of the Holy Spirit. It is preaching, I think, to the unregenerate. Regenerate people simply do works according...

Made me think of you, love this

Why? Isn't it just a guess, an intimation based on the former idea rather than implicit? If the text says something, and our knee-jerk is to dismiss it because 'well that means sin!' I'm not on page. His analogy of the wheat and tares does say 'let them grow together' but the reason is...

Let's read it again: Isaiah 46:21-24 - Present your case,” says the Lord. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob. “Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, And know the latter end of them; Or...

1 Timothy 1: 1Ti 1:3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 1Ti 1:4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God...

You've just done, by virtue of priori, what you asses in Credo. The first passage Credo gave, does indeed claim that knowing the future is the definition of "God." . It says exactly what it says; Only a priori of denial would second-guess. Entertain that you are forcing. It is a...

This is why 'prescriptive' and 'decretive' are proffered. It doesn't have to mean, at all, that God doesn't know as an alternative. That is a conclusion based on 'reasoned' but all kinds of potentially wrong suppositions. While I can appreciate the Open View, it isn't the only kid on the...

αποστασια (apostacy)abandoning the faith.

CHATGPT translation: 2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of {lawlessness}c is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he...

All of them? "The AICNT further aims to indicate the extent to which the manuscripts have been altered throughout the centuries. This is accomplished first by using, as the base text, what scholars have identified as most likely the earliest reading of the text translated. Secondly, over 2,000...

Ouch!

There are a couple of ways for it to make sense besides determinism. He is, after all, unwilling that any should perish. For me, God acting in our history to bring as many as possible is deterministic, but not determinism by necessity. For me: He is determined to save all He can...

I can read Greek, but am not able to recognize all Greek intimations: επιστευσαμε (E-sword has a free download that helps quite a bit with my Greek called "Greek NT Int-erlinear" The Greek word επιστευσαμε is Aorist (completed) Active Indicative (great free online lessons with quizzes) First...

"In Remembrance" also important. There are all kinds of keys and indicators missed. When Paul mentions communion, it is a potlatch in several instances. Communion started as 'the Last Supper.' Matthew 26:26 " blood of the covenant" (He hadn't shed yet but it is the last supper they...

🤔 All three were involved in His resurrection.

No. It. Isn't. Okay, you bought the line. It is not shared by any means. No, of course I cannot prove something to someone who doesn't care about facts. I gave them. Done deal. Not in the church building where they are supposed to be safe! My fellowship has FBI checks. You said...

I cannot argue with a man who loves his organization "no matter what." It is a done deal, I can't touch it or you. For you? You might call it longsuffering or such and I'll not question your forgiving love, but absolutely not for me. Paul and Barnabas went two separate ways. Paul...

One statistic has a higher mortality rate among those who took the inoculation over those who did not! O.o
