Considering 1 Cor 2:14, who is Paul referring to in Heb 5:12? It is those who have been born again spiritually, but are still in need of the milk of the word. Isiah 28:9-10, Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk...

I think it important to consult a Greek concordance to determine what the meaning of a word means, and the meaning of the word "saved" in this verse means "deliver or protect". There is a deliverance here on earth when a child of God comes unto a knowledge of the truth. Believing in...

I try to furnish scripture backup with my statements. It would help me to better understand your viewpoint if you could do the same.

I am trying to follow your reasoning, but could you direct me to the scripture that makes you think that Peter is talking to the unborn spiritually? I do not know what version of the bible you study from, but the version I study from has the word "us-ward" indicating that Peter is including...

Sorry Chester, my 89 year old mind probably got you confused with someone else.

Although I am not a follower of John Calvin, people on this forum accuse me of being his follower. You are correct in claiming that the elect is the church. Most of the new testament books are letters to the churches instructing them in the doctrine of Christ. The church is depicted in the...

God does not decide their fate, he leaves them to their own destruction. If he decided their fate, he would be an unjust God. Why God did not choose all humanity to be saved (delivered) eternally, I know not. Who am I to ask God, What doest thou? (Dan 4:35)

None, he leaves them to their own destruction, read Psalms 73.

If you are referring to eternally, nothing. If you are referring to a timely deliverance (salvation) there are many things we must do. If you are referring to the Jews that Peter was accusing of crucifying Christ, they were already born again, because they have had their heart of stone...

I respect your dedication to the word of God. Whom the Lord loveth, he chastens, and scourgest every son whom he receveth God does not chasten those that are not his elect (Psalms 73) nor judge them until the last day judgement.

This scripture inin reference to those who have been born again.

Same words can be interpreted by Greek differently in the scriptures, such as the word die is interpreted as meaning "a separation" The first death is when the elect die to sin in their new spiritual birth. When they pass from this life, their souls goes back to God and he considers them as...

I believe that we have had this conversation before, but I don't mind refreshing your memory. Jesus did not die for all mankind's sins, only the elect of whom God gave him (John 6 :39) Those that he redeemed were from every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.(Rev 5:9-10). God's...

God knits everything together in the new spiritual birth. Christ is the only begotten Son, the elect are his adopted children. Ezk 18 is speaking of spiritual Israel. Verse 22 also has reference to spiritual Israel. The "wicked" in this verse has reference to the wicked children of God...

Your confusion is in not understanding the Greek meaning of saved. According to Strong's concordance it means delivered, not eternally but from the lust of the world.

This scripture is true, if everyone would interpret it in the right way. The key words are "we are his OFFSPRING"

I get accused of being a Calvin follower, because my beliefs are close to some of his, which I am not. God predetermining every action of mankind is a false doctrine that would make God guilty of man's sins. We call that false thinking as "absolutism". People who believe that are not...

I hope you can understand my commitment, in that I believe that scripture proves scripture when they all harmonize, and they are the only source of my studies, so I apologize for not viewing your movie video. The natural man, as far as the scriptures teach, learns right from wrong by what he...

Respectfully, I am not building by belief only on one scripture. My belief is that all of the scriptures must harmonize before a person can understand the doctrine that Jesus taught (Rev 22:18-19). This should be evidence to you by my response to every scripture you have presented to me...

Calvin's doctrine, as far as I have been told, is not the same doctrine as the one that Jesus taught. Calvin's doctrine is very similar, but not right on. If I am not mistaken, he believes that everything mankind does is predestined, and that would make God responsible for mankind's sins...
