Thanks Magenta. Good to see you and your posts again as well.

TULIP isn't actually in Institutes. TULIP is like a condensed version of what Institutes is trying to convey. Which is probably a good description. I didn't see any contradictions.

I believe Calvinism conforms to what the bible states. Institutes of the Christian Religion has over 1000 pages to it. I highly doubt those that are opposed to it have read and understood all of it. Most people hate Calvinism because it goes against their imagination and will. I think the...

Jesus is the Saviour of all people that are saved. No one is saved that Jesus didn't save. People that aren't saved still have a Saviour in the Lord Jesus Christ.

That is incorrect. You missed something REALLY big there.

So then you agree with what I posted. Weird way of showing it...:ROFL:

Faith in Christ and what He accomplished/accomplishes IS Salvation. Asking the How and Why questions is what leads people to Salvation. And simultaneously the understanding of Prophecy. Was Salvation any different for the people in the Old Testament than it is now? I don't think so. That...

Like children, knowing nothing. That is why it is so important to come to Christ as a child. Humble. Ready to Learn. You'll find out everything you thought you knew was wrong. Proverbs 3:5-7 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy...

No. You are 100% wrong. It is the 10 commandments that bring us to Christ. Re-read Matthew 5. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that...

Heaven and earth have not passed away. The Law is STILL bringing people to Christ. Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. One Jot or One tittle will in no wise pass from the Law until All is fulfiilled. This is a...

Galatians 3:24-25 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Galatians 2:19-21 19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 I am...

Grandpa said: You have a choice. You can work at your understanding of commandments. Or you can come to Christ, in faith. Galatians 3:24-26 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer...

He IS 100% God and he purposely held back His Godhood. That was the way He humbled Himself and took upon Himself the form of a servant.

The Lord Jesus was man and He is God. He did not manifest 100% of His Glory or else everyone would be instantly dead upon seeing Him. Like a man who is a black belt fighting a kindergartner. In order to make it a fair fight and semi-interesting he has to hold a lot back. It doesn't mean...

There is no way for us to know how much or how little of Gods Glory that the Lord Jesus had or did not have. People didn't know that He was God. If He had all of Gods Glory people would instantly be cognitive of that fact. Pretty good question. But you would have to elaborate on EXACTLY what...
