To reject unmerited election by God, you must reject the clear, plain statements of the Bible. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. (Matt...

"Beloved, while eagerly preparing to write to you about the salvation we share, I find it necessary to write and appeal to you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints." (Jude 1:3) "Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I...

Your statement "That's how were taught in Bible college." is your problem. It is what the scriptures state that is what we are to believe, not what some Bible college teaches.

This is a question of double predestination, the elect of God, and then the reprobate, the rejected ones. The rejected, the reprobation is seen in the OT as well as the NT. It is stated in the Westminster Confession of Faith thus: "By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory...

"It is not that the Lord is slow in keeping his promise, as some suppose, but that he is patient with you. It is not his will that any should be lost, but that all should come to repentance." (2Pet 3:9) The key is, which will of God is spoken of here? If it is God's will of decree, you'll have...

The term "pit bull" is not a breed but a general classification of dog breeds bred to be fighters, killers. The dog now in the news in Texas is a American Staffordshire Terrier, one of the pit bulls. I find that to own a dog bred to be a killer, and you let it get loose, you must pay if it...

Unconditional Election, the will bound by sin, NOT free, and Limited Atonement were seen long before John Calvin ever lived, based on scripture. See my earlier post showing this titled: Calvin did not invent the doctrines of grace I can understand a person struggling to see limited...

Yes indeed, in the context it is very specific! "But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all...

Show from scripture, don't pontificate, that "the world" means every person in the world without exception in John 3:16 and 1 John 2:2. The Greek-English Lexicons that I've checked do not read like that. I've not found an English dictionary that defines "world" as every person without...

It is not love to let a perverted gospel be spread across the land without challenging it forcibly by scripture! "My friends, I was fully intending to write to you about the salvation we share, when I found it necessary to take up my pen and urge you to join in the struggle for that faith which...

Most evangelicals think, Jesus Christ died to pay for the sins of every person in the world, bar none. So Mr. Evangelical, why are you saved and others are not? You think it is because you exercised belief in Christ, you accepted Jesus. It is clear from your own teaching that you think you are...

Very true! To most evangelicals today, Christ died for everyone without exception, but that death did not save anyone. They MUST deny the following passage where Paul condemned those teaching the perverted gospel - "who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age...

John, a Jew, an apostle is the one writing the epistle of 1 John - "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify...

Most evangelicals are preaching a perverted gospel of Jesus Christ. "Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father; to whom be the glory for ever and ever...

Saint Augustine of Hippo [354-430 AD]"In this redemption, the blood of Christ was given, as it were as a price for us, by accepting which the devil was not enriched, but bound: that we might be loosened from his bonds, and that he might not with himself involve [us] in the meshes of sins, and so...

I am a believer in testing the supposedly Christian happenings like these 'revival' at Asbury and other copycat doings. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world...We are from God. Whoever...

Let me make this very simple. To interpret "every man" in Heb. 2:9 to mean every person who has ever lived or will ever live you MUST have the context to show it means that. Compare the following with the same wording, "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of...

I study my biblical theology from recognized scholars, not people found on the Internet. So, am I the one trying to distort the truth of God? The 1901 American Standard Version is described in Wikipedia thus: "It was often printed using lower quality paper and binding, and was perceived to be...

No, that is not the exact translation of the Greek. The Greek for "man" in not there. The every "?" must be taken from the context. The next verse, 10, states who the "every" refers to: "in bringing many sons unto glory". One verse that to me proves definite or particular redemption is the...

I'm a firm believer in interpreting symbolic and apocalyptic passages as symbols and not literal. I interpret the literal as literal. I am compelled by common sense to make the symbolic fit into the 'plain speak' outlines. As a Christian, I focus on the prophetic information aimed at...
