A slightly bruised apple is not good, but it has some good parts. Do you think Jesus was saying there aren't any good parts in any of the world's apples?
Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

Hey...don't knock success. Don't you know this is what Presbyterians do: We befriend and infiltrate SBC ranks and spread the real gospel?
For you info, there is a large SBC church just several miles from where I live; and it's very reformed. They hold to the Doctrines of Grace and to New Covenant Theology. Not all member churches of any particular denomination march to drum beat of that denomination. Apparently, you haven't been keeping up with what has been going on with the UMC denomination? Many local congregations are leaving!
Interesting!
I was merely going by what BillyBob was saying. But good to see you have confirmed what I knew all along
I cannot locate online that "last chapter" of his. Wish I could. I would have to dig out his book and find it. But I don't have that time. Nonetheless, if you weren't so fearful of the truth, you could for the sake of Pink's argument, assume his foundation is right and proceed to read what I posted and judge the contents of that part of his treatise. After all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so you should be able to find lots of weak links within the four series of questions he addresses. Be a brave soul and go for it. God is never pleased with a coward.

Well...it certainly confirms what I have long known: God works in mysterious ways.
God limited the possible ways these people would express their own wills toward Christ in such a way that Jesus was crucified according to His predictions. prohorizO primary meaning is to limit beforehand. God predestines by limiting mens options and manipulating circumstances around them so that the way they carry out their own wills/desires is done in the limited prescribed way. Their wills are not unilaterally swapped for different wills.
Pilate wanted to release Jesus. God allowed demons to whip up the crowd and leaders so that Pilate carried out His will to acquit Jesus by washing his hands, and to carry out his will to avoid a riot by sending Jesus to the cross.
I felt I was being played but I went along with it because I was trying to trust what I was being told. But I know my own friends still are Reformed but maybe something drastically changed I was unaware about.
No. God loves all. The elect have taken the path to reconciliation that God is offering to all.
No, the saints in eternity will not be able to sin. The saints will be just like Christ morally/spiritually All sin, the presence and power of it, at the end of the age will be abolished forever. And that's when all the saints will be eternally set free to love, worship and serve God in perfect holiness.
The fact is Jesus came to DIE.
He came to be MURDERED.
It was Planned.
It was God's Will.
And no matter what it was going to happen.
God's Plan was successful because Jesus was Killed.
Exodus 32:10 "Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation."
Jnah 3:4
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.”
"Stealth Calvinism." Lyingly hiding or denying their calvinist doctrine to get pastorates and then after appointment indoctrinating the church towards full calvinism.
Maybe, maybe not. If they do stumble, the cross is a perpetual sacrifice under the terms of and endless covenant. So all contingencies are covered.
I've explained Acts 17 in the past. It's not. saying what you think it is. Paul was merely capitalizing on pagan poets' idea, and used to preach the gospel. If God is the Father of all in the human race, in the distributive, then how could the Pharisees also have the devil for their father? They had two fathers, did they? Or how did Adam become a seed of the Serpent for that matter?
There is no maybe about. Read Revelations someday.
P.S. If there is sin in the eternal kingdom, then God's intentions would have been thwarted. For his will is that all be perfectly conformed to the image of Christ.
Well, I humbly appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much, BB. And thank you, @Rosemaryx (I appreciate you so much), and thank you @Cameron143 for both of your emoji's of support.

Mersee, because you think this is funny, which is the behavior of abominations, you have joined the hateful Selahsays on the Ignore list. Now you have no voice.
