God tells us that for us to "Be like our Father" we must "love our enemies". Once again: If God hates the lost then He would be no better than He commands us to be. He would be a contradiction. Better give your heart to the God of the Bible. The Bible says "God is Love". Therefore, He loves the...

You are commanded, by God, to even "love your enemies". (Matthew 5:44-48) So let me get this straight; You think that God expects you to do something more noble than He is willing to do?

Just because ancient Hebrews wrote something, doesn't make it scripture. I'm sure they used their written language for tons more stuff than just the Word of God.

This paper gives some insight into the subject. https://www.neverthirsty.org/bible-qa/qa-archives/question/did-jesus-quote-book-of-enoch-matthew-2229-30/

strawman much? Sir, election has nothing to do with predetermining people to salvation; election is about service. And yes, proponents of calvinism have.........."changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man ....." Romans 1:23

Yeah, that's what I said.... ...and what does He take pleasure in? Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. -Luke 12:32 ....and what does that Kingdom consist of? For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in...

Calvininsts say that God's greatest desire is his own glory. But the Bible says the Jesus went to the cross "for the JOY set before Him". It says in another place that it is "His good pleasure to give you the Kingdom". God is a giver, not a taker. Calvinists actually portray a false god which is...

When I got saved, the preacher had preached a sermon on "The Lord is my Shepherd". I had always wanted to own/raise some sheep after that. I have a herd(flock) of about 50 animals right now. I don't have any goats. https://www.raisingsheep.net/american-blackbelly-sheep

Referring to me? That is a Blackbelly Sheep; a ram.

I suppose it's like preaching the Gospel. Regardless, of the fact that most people choose to reject it, we are to put it out there anyway and some get saved. It's the same with the Calvinists; while the majority won't, a few will choose to junk it. I wonder how many of them are actually saved.

And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. -Acts 24:25 Again, the Holy Spirit or "Comforter" let Felix know that Jesus Christ and His work on calvary was...

Another example of God giving men free will. And notice that he WANTS them to "choose life". So if they do NOT "choose life" then wouldn't that be "thwarting His will" ?(according to calvinists encountered) 15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In that I...

I have always said that it is neither.

God tells us to even love our enemies so that we will be like Him....... Matthew5: 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them...

The Holy Spirit or "Comforter" "reproves" the World of Sin, Righteousness and judgement. (Acts 16:7-8) In other words, when He deals with our heart, He convicts us of our sin, presents us with God's righteousness(God's perfection and Jesus' work on the cross), and our impending damnation in...

"Election" is a Bible doctrine. But the way Calvinism twists and distorts it, is not.

Point was; God WANTED them to come. The Calvinist god never wanted them in the first place, so he never "enabled" them to believe.

You're right, it's not about election. The parable is about God inviting some men. The character of God is the same in every situation He is involved in, so. The fact is; He invited some men, because He wanted those men to come, they knew they were being invited, but they refused of their own...

Since you mentioned Islam; their religion has fatalism, just like Calvinism does, since they believe that "allah" predetermines everything and chooses who will and who will not be allowed into paradise. The calvinist false-god is no better than "allah". He's certainly not the God of the Bible.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. Luke 7:50 Like I told you, everyone has faith. The question is; what is that faith directed toward...
