If I had a nickel for every time an inveterate Calvinist called me a liar, I would be flying my entire family here first class this weekend.

Their purpose is to make sure this forum does not experience revival.

They offer nothing productive, but are here to make sure if anyone wants to, that they will block him.

When was the last time any determinists here broached the discussion of the "two judicial imputations"?

Never is when. Because it is a another doctrinal wrecking ball certain to demolish the Calvinist edifice.

So here I am waiting for sone friendly discussion with people who find unfriendliness offending, but yet I don't get a reply. It's like you don't exist unless you favour there opinion

I wonder why people just keep using his word this way

Time and time again we just see people popping in with some scripture that seems intent with pushing you away from God.

It's all a bit sad really.

You are not going to get here, what you should already have if you find for yourself a good teacher.
We come here to expand upon what we have benefitted from....
Not to establish what we need to first find from a reliable source.

Ok so your study you sent me free of charge suggests you like to teach is that correct ?

You're going to have to do much better than your incoherent word salad. And where in scripture does it teach that God gifted all men with a certain degree of sovereignty? I need chapter and verse on that rubbish. How does man's sovereignty jive with these passages that essentially teach that man's ways are not in himself:

Prov 16:1, 9, 33; 19:21; 20:24; 21:1; Isa 46:10; Jer 10:23; Dan 5:23; Act 4:23-28; Rom 9:14-18

And what happens to your supposed sovereignty for man in the Eternal New Order? Is the Kingdom of God going to be a rule by democracy? :rolleyes:

God decides about what man decides.
 
God allows people to think they are getting away with something
as to allow for their volition to make a choice they wanted to.

In the mean while... No one is getting away with anything.

well I guess if anything it makes you think.

Any ideas for a revival cam.

I don't know how about this

The lord said there is more joy in heaven for one sinner who repents than there is 99 righteous people

If you would ignore the expected critics and give what I showed you a try, you would be receiving teachings on the highest level.

Hey brother.
For one thing, I don't have ability to stifle revival. Revival comes when the Spirit of God is poured out. It doesn't depend upon the actions of men, but is the activity of God. And, like in all times in history, is needed.

Another day, another Reformer gaffe. Same old story. It never ends around here.

[Gen 9:1-3 KJV] 1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

********************************

[2Sa 7:8-13 KJV]
8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great [men] that [are] in the earth.

10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

11 And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
