internet stands for w.w.w

World wide web

You can try to save it, but you've got no chance. You can live in it for far to long, and you may come out of the other side shining but you may not.

You could get stuck in the Twilight zone tho for being in the wrong places for to long.

And that not being ignorant that's bursting your bubble, 😭

What happens when you can't let go of your mask, is it gets bigger and you become the phantom of the opera

Calvinism is an inconsistent doctrine and theology. Here’s why: If God has eternally decreed every thought, choice, action, motive, desire, etc etc, then in consistent Calvinism, Romans 9 would be “O man, who are you to reply against God? You’re the man who has been eternally decreed to reply against God. How dare you do what God ordained you to do from eternity? Oh, and by the way, you are going to be rebuked and eternally punished for doing what you were eternally determined and decreed to do”— all while Calvinism teaches and believes God is righteous, holy, loving and just. Can’t have it both ways.
 
By the way, are two elect parents who have be cleansed by the blood Christ…are they still totally depraved or did the blood of Christ was that away? And if not, why not? Is the blood not able to wash away any and all that has been repented of? Or is it impossible to repent from being depraved? If the blood of Christ did cleanse the parents of them being totally depraved, then is their children still born totally depraved? If they are, then was Adam’s sin that their parents “inherited” not cleansed by the blood of Jesus? If it was, then why are their children born “totally depraved”?

So, you’re left with two options:

Either 1) The blood of Christ is not sufficient to be able to wash away and take away “inherited sin” or 2) The false teaching of total depravity/inability is not consistent, because as parents who are regenerated and the elect, Adam’s sin should no longer be passed to their children.

You are correct that they are 2 different things. Heart in Romans 2 is speaking of the conscience.
Good sermon.

I remember reading Rom 2 some time ago ... I had read it before but one day that verse about the work of the law being written in the heart. I thought "wait a minute ... is Paul telling us these gentiles are born again"? ... but that's not what is being taught in this section of Romans. The whole point of this section is to bring us to the point of understanding that we are justified by faith ... not by having or keeping law. Even if someone could keep the law (other than the Lord Jesus Christ, impossible), it is by faith we are justified so I looked into the work of the law being written in the heart ... you know how God works in opening Scripture to us, yes ? I love how He does that. :cool:

Right. He's furthering his argument from the first chapter concerning man's accountability before God.

I like him. He's good. He seems a little upset that Candace isn't going all in, but I think that's deliberate. Introduce the normies to the truth in stages, so they don't turn off - cognitive dissonance. It's reached the stage where the most popular podcast in the world is run by someone who would have been called a conspiracy theorist 5 or so years ago. In my opinion, she's part of a deliberate soft reveal of truth.

No. The lineage by which sin is forgiven isn't through human lineage but spiritual linage - they are completely different. You confuse the two implying the physical overrides or affects the spiritual. Regarding spiritual lineage, its chain of spiritual descendants remains unbroken.
