Acts 13… In v. 42 the Gentiles “begged [Paul and Barnabas] that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.” Begging suggests devotion. They were devoted to learning about the good news of eternal life. This makes good sense in the context and it also makes a nice parallel. The Jews...

Acts 13:48 There are also a number of things that Acts 13:48 does not say. It doesn’t say one has to be ordained to believe. It doesn’t say there are “reprobates” who can’t be saved. It doesn’t say that anyone was ordained unconditionally. It does say that anyone was ordained before the...

I have it archived in a program. I have it on search right now. Just so we are on the same page. And to keep it simple. Luke 12:48~~But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much...

Nothing. The Lord Jesus Christ knew Nicodemus was a steaming pile of cow dung and not a chance to learn something. He was just a worthless bag of bones and Jesus was speaking to the wind. Yes.....there is.

Sorry. Since I am well versed in the calvies indoctrination.........One was saved/regenerated THEN one believes. It doesn't work that way. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and THEN you shall be saved.......And that goes for all of mankind. And your "somewhere it is written" Is an application...

Those are good questions. And we(as believers) should ponder them. Because, God is Fair and Just. And while Satan is judged and we know his judgement.....God is allowing for Satan's appeal trial.....the Angelic conflict. Satan is trying to prove his case and God is allowing it......Further...

And the Angelic conflict Answers this calvie nonsense. They are doing exactly what Satan did and IS doing. A freewill creature with volition choosing The Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation Glorifies God and His Son. And Proves to Satan that he is WITHOUT excuse. God gives every one of His...

I know what you mean! I likened it to my salvation experience. I was about ready to give up. Stuck in churchianity and didn't know it. Then I heard a Grace orientated pastor teacher! I was ALL in.

The Angelic conflict/Kingdom conflict......Arguably the most important doctrine for his church. It IS why we are here. To live a mature spiritual life and glorify God puts another nail in Satan's coffin.

Awesome. My teacher was(He passed recently) Robert McLaughlin. Ordained by The Colonel. We also have a lot of Thiemes tapes. Great teachers! Like you, We learned more in one hour than we had in 10 years in our little rural church.

James is not talking about our eternal life. He is talking about our daily walk.....Physical life. I hope you catch the point here. Remember the joke about the pastor who saw the warning for local flooding and was warned to evacuate? He prayed to God to keep him safe and stayed in his home...

Luke 3:38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

The context is the nation Israel. But individually speaking........ The main question is~~~Why does God have to PATIENTLY endure when shaping this clay? Because the clay has a mind of its own and is STUBBORN. So why is God patient with his clay? 2 Pet 3:15~~ and regard the patience of our Lord...

2 Tim 2~~20 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver implements, but also implements of wood and of earthenware, and some are for honor while others are for dishonor. 21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be an implement for honor, sanctified, useful...

Should post this truth every 4 or 5 posts. Some need this drilled into their noggins.

Election and predestination are for believers ONLY. They come after salvation. Election of Israel. Service. Record His word. Spread His word. Election of Christ. Service. Propitiate and glorify the Father. The Cross. Election of the Church. Service. Glorify and be a light for Christ. His...

No. But I am glad you had! That comes straight from my pastor teacher.

I totally agree. He condemned us at birth. We had done nothing. So He is free to save babies, mentally ill and all those who cannot make a volitional choice for Christ. His question is based on a false premise. All sin is paid for. So it's not a valid question.

The right pastor teacher......He teaches you so well, that you can prove him wrong when he is in error. And he expects that from his students.

Believers should be zealous about spreading His Good news and His salvation to all men. It's amazing to watch believers who are zealous to spread hell and condemnation to the vast majority.
