    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    the Israelites of old were a perfect picture and testimony of the depravity of man being chosen by God and yet utterly failing in obedience to Him. To them indeed were given the Scriptures which only served to make most of them more accountable unto their greater judgement but to them also was...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    All of the true Israel of God being called the remnant was indeed saved in Christ and was being saved in Paul's time and will be saved until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled which happened as Daniel and Christ prophesied in the temple being destroyed which ended the sacrificial system of...

    those who fall away and never return and die in their sin will know that they were never backsliders married to the Lord but were reprobate never chosen by Him for salvation.

    If you read the thread you would see that to whom this was written claimed that remnant Gentiles are not mentioned anywhere in the Book of Romans and I have lovingly corrected him as instructed to do so in Scripture for it is given for this reason as mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 which your...

    the Gentiles as also being a remnant of God's elect are mentioned before Romans 15 as confirmed below and you seem to ignore. Rom_1:13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also...

    when God gives the Holy Spirit to them according to His will through the preaching of the Gospel, which is evidenced in them becoming new creatures and confirmed to be His children who gladly submit to Him and obey His command to repent and believe on Christ and seek to bring forth holy fruit to...

    it would be good if you actually read the Book of Romans. Rom_1:13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. Rom_3:29 Or is He the God of the...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    the remnant that God had chosen from among them were saved as Scripture proclaims in Christ but you seem to think that all who think themselves somehow still connected to an ancient tribe of people are saved by their race and not by grace. Rom_9:27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel...

    Who is the us??? Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: Eph 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. As with all the epistles that are written to the saints and not those...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    and now you completely twist Scripture by replacing words to fit into your distorted theology. Have you not read what God does to those who do so? Rom 9:21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? Rom 9:22 What if...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    I thoroughly agree with you that election is the bedrock doctrine of the Bible and most today do not fear God because Christians are too scared to offend people's so called free will. Instead of asking people whether they have chosen God, ask them if God has chosen them and watch the power of...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    It is because God fore determines all things that He fore knows all things. Pro_16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD. God chose His people not after the Fall but before it and the foundation of the world. Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    no one is saved by any connection to Abraham but by the grace of God which grants faith as He did to Abraham and it is only these who are the true seed of Abraham and not those who claim to be of his flesh but die in their sin. Rom 9:6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect...

    you fail to realise that the bondage of those without Christ is eternal and not temporary.

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    the Scripture quoted specifically says that they are in bondage, so therefore they may only seem blessed from the perspective of man but according to God, only those who are in Christ are freed from that bondage and belong to the Jerusalem from above which is alone blessed by grace.

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    you continue to disregard the many Scriptures that state that those who God sees as truly being Jews are His remnant and not those who are circumcised of the flesh but of the heart (Rom 2:28-29) and the fact that Christ twice warned about imposters claiming to be Jews but are in fact of the...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    if God fore planned salvation for those He has chosen as you have confirmed then what did He fore plan to save them from? Was God taken by surprise by the Fall or did He fore know and decree it for His greater glory? These are questions it seems you have not yet pondered. Christ's death...

    Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

    once again you bring forth absolutely no arguments from Scripture and simply resort to libel and slander, only proving you have no valid arguments to make. If you are trusting in your free will or have faith in your faith rather than trust in the person and work of Christ which is granted by...

    Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

    it is indeed dribble only to those who are spiritually dead. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
