Who says "they" can't? You and your crew are the only ones looking at this topic like this. We preach daily it's not us that save but God, you are the people that put salvation squarely at the feet of men and what they choose. You're so deluded that you just seem to be lost and blind at this...

Not to mention they reverse who is taken and who inherits the earth. In the times of Noah, it was the righteous who were left behind and the wicked who were taken away. Why do they flip this with no reason at all?

Sorry but from my point of veiw this is just adding your ideas TO scripture, or ADDING to His word. This is not the proper way to handle scriptue, we don't come to the scripture with an idea and "find it", we read scripture and draw from it. With all due respect, I couldn't just read His word...

No, you have a misconception about what "they" are saying. They say we cannot choose outside of our natures, be that the flesh (in Adam) or of the Spirit (born again, spiritually alive and connected to God). We are slaves of our nature, that's why one of the flesh CANNOT please God no matter...

A pretty arrogant assertion you make here. I made it to page 8 before I rejected your "rightly divided" opinion. I disagree 100% with what you call "right". Do you understand your view is less that 100 years old? Is that not any kind of red flag? You believe the newest fad in regard to this...

But that's not the point. No one is arguing that we don't have will/choice/agency. This is where the biggest misunderstanding is, and to be honest only those who are born again in truth can even understand what this truly means. What we are saying is what the Bible teaches, our "will" is NEVER...

And I know I'm butting in here, and please excuse me for that, but if you think you speaking, or the person hearing are what save, your just wrong. Salvation is of God lest any man boast, yes you are to proclaim the gospel, and that person can only be saved by hearing that message, but it's the...

I'd even go as far as saying He can only call those who hate Him, because we are all born in that condition. The only way we can come out of that position is by His power and draw. I know this is a bare bones take and absent any kind of nuance, but in the most simple and straight forward way of...

I agree with you here. While I do believe God knows EVERYTHING past present and future, I do not believe that means He doesn't give us agency, or a will of our own. Just because God knows what I'm going to choose doesn't ean He made me choose it. This is not a hard concept for me to grasp. I can...

Loves them enough for what? To tease them with something He knew they'd reject. Sorry man this makes no sense at all on ANY level. This would make God unsure, inept, weak, pointless, and a liar. This brings us to the fact His word completely contradicts that Jesus loses ANY the Father gives Him...

I saw a guy that could do it faster with greater easy.

Wow, I "actually" thought my proofreading skills were getting a little better, and then read "the actually act" in the very first sentence.:eek::mad: I just wanted to formally apologize to the whole community for this kind of ignorant violation. There's just no excuse. So please excuse me while...

I think more specifically about the actually act of being saved, what role we play, and most importantly who gets the glory and credit for it. My position is God gets it all. Yes, I'm alive and make decisions, no I don't believe we are puppets being controlled. I believe God gives us life, God...

Dead faith is a result of a false converstion. The person wasn't saved and then fell off, the person was never saved if they never produced any of what we'd call "works". Being saved is the only way we can do works pleasing to God. I don't think I'm following you 100% here because it sounds...

Yes, I know that's how you see it, what we seem to disagree about is that "you" are grabbing the gift, is you claiming a reason to boast, and this makes salvation not just "of God". If "you" have to grab, then salvation is of God "AND" you. I believe scripture goes to great lengths to...
