    You think that it is your works that will make your calling sure? Wouldn't you want something a little more sure than that?

    Observing the sabbath???

    Better to observe the One who Gives Sabbath. The Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For...

    It means she's thankful that you both hate what scripture says when someone finally tells you what it ACTUALLY means.

    I don't really care about Calvinism. I just care about what Scripture says. John 10:27-29 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which...

    John 1:11-13 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The...

    You need to read Romans 9 again without the blinders of what you WISH Romans 9 said. I don't mean that in a bad way. Its something we all need to do. Romans 9:20-24 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made...

    Exodus 7:3-5 3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great...

    That's what I was saying. Our belief CANNOT be the cause of Salvation or it makes Scripture untrue. Faith is a Gift of God.

    Except that Scripture EXPRESSLY says that God HARDENED Pharaohs heart. And God did it for His Purpose so that everyone would know He was Lord.

    I don't think you would make the silly, untrue comments you do if your beliefs stand with scripture. I think you would be able to see the TRUTH of Scripture and you would see that your belief doesn't perfectly line up with them.

    It just takes reading, comprehension and critical thinking skills which I guess hardly anyone has anymore. Nonsensical poison...:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: You CAN read can't you???

    That's a weird thought to have, for a Christian. I was new to the faith when I first started coming here and there were lots of theologies that were against my own. I started having conversations with them showing them scripture and why I believed differently. This made my faith STRONGER in...

    That's unnecessary. If you read that verse a little closer you can see that @ForestGreenCook is 100% correct. Whosoever believes will have everlasting life. That IS referencing the world of believers. It DOESN'T say the Whole World will have everlasting life. There is a condition...

    I agree. But at some point, they can ask for forgiveness and be forgiven. And be given Faith. If they don't then they remain in their condemned state.

    Roger that. But if God decided to give the WHOLE WORLD to the Lord Jesus, His Sacrifice is Sufficient for all of them.

    Not believing isn't exactly blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is attributing the Work of the Holy Spirit to devils. Not believing is ABSOLUTELY forgivable. Mark 9:23-27 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24...

    So the Blood of Christ is insufficient to Save the Whole World...? People have to add to it in order for it to be sufficient...? I absolutely disagree. The Blood of Christ is ABSOLUTELY sufficient to Atone for ALL THE SINS of the Whole World. I suppose you probably already saw this response...

    1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. My interpretation of this verse is that the natural man CANNOT recieve the spiritual Gifts of God. God...
