    How does God's sovereignty work through free will?

    A child can sovereignly predestinate a wind-up toy to cross the room and touch the corner of the couch. I think the child would be worthy of more honor if he worked to train his puppy to cross the room and touch it; whether the dog obeys or not. The child can externally influence the puppy's...

    How does God's sovereignty work through free will?

    God autocratically chose people who are in Christ (already saved) to be holy and without blame. He autocratically predestinated people who are in Christ to adoption. He didn't autocratically choose or predestine any individual to become 'in Christ'. ... he hath chosen us in him before the...

    Does James 2:17 Speak for All of the New Testament?

    "Showing" your faith or "expressing" your faith doesn't get you to heaven; having faith does. Abraham was eternally saved and eternally secure years before he put Isaac on the alter. God justified Abraham (declared him just) in Genesis 15:6. Later Abraham's works justified him (declared him...

    why didn't god have angels guarding the tree of knowledge before adam sinned?

    If sin hadn't happened; then the Lamb, who earlier was slain from the foundation of the world, would have made a meaningless sacrifice. He was slain for yet-to-be-created, yet-to-sin people who were going to be created free to obey. And if they're going to be free to obey, then they're going to...

    The Believers and The Bride of Christ...The Navy and The Navy Seals...

    The Holy Spirit didn't tell you that. That's merely your interpretation/understanding. Your head is involved. It can't not be. Without it, you wouldn't be seeking anything.

    Will do greater things??

    Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. The preaching of the gospel and the salvation of souls is more important than miracles. Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent...

    Psalm 110, Jesus, and the Book of Hebrews-Flaw and Faith

    Matthew 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? Through the incarnation - that's how. Jesus asked the Pharisees a rhetorical question because they were denying that He is the Lord; not because He was denying being the son of David. Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to...

    The Believers and The Bride of Christ...The Navy and The Navy Seals...

    The word "bride" doesn't occur in Revelation chapters 2&3. Neither does the word "believer(s)". The bride of Christ consists of all believers and only believers. It's not an elite group of believers.

    Can women be Pastors?

    No, she may not. Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said ... I will make him an help meet for him. Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food ... she took of the fruit thereof ... and gave also unto her husband ... 1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And...

    An NASB Boo Boo?

    It seems to come down to the English rendering of the Greek word "kai" in Revelation 20:4. [Strong's] 2532 kai, kai {kahee} • apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force;; conj • AV - and 8182, also 515, even 108, both 43, then 20, so 18...

    Things that vex or provoke you

    It doesn't mean you're not being loving, it means you're not 'love'. Love is something we are to pursue (14:1) and have (13:1-3); but not something we 'are'. Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred [same word as "easily provoked"]in him, when he saw the city...

    Is The Lent Period Necessary?

    1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain...

    new king of heaven

    Revelation isn't only about the future. 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen [past], and the things which are [present], and the things which shall be hereafter [future]; 1:8 ... I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending ... 1:11 ... I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last...
