^ God wouldn't command us to do one thing and He not be doing the same thing

Good question because God lives inside us and is constantly and continually conforming us to His image and likeness. That means we don't judge those that could easily be judged and we are to love those whom we normally despise. So if we're becoming more and more like God and we are to love...

We have Scripture that shows us that Jesus, and I would add taught, but was in the same vicinity watching His Disciples water Baptizing. What's interesting is Matthew 28:19 shows us a way to water Baptize but in Acts they all Baptize in the Name of Jesus which the Catechism claims was the...

OK, they can become a believer.

Actually if we went through all of Peter's writings using the Hellenized Greek there would be more usage similar to the example I have provided. Once it's been proven what Peter can or cannot speak\write makes it easier to translate. I know that is not something like you want or would ever...

It's directly directed to the reader and only one person is reading each time normally. The Bible is preached as a whole but instructed to be read individually. And the proper Greek word translates to YOU, as in those who read this Epistle.

Most people love the mistranslated version of this verse for the simple fact it fits their own doctrine but the actual original Greek is properly translated as [the singular person] because we know that Peter did not speak\write Koine Greek like the educated Paul but rather spoke the more common...

You need to set the pipe down and walk away and drink a cup of ice cold water.

I have faced eminent dangers, improbable outcomes, hopeless situations, and trials where no hope existed any where. I guess one could say that I had the [luck] of someone like no other. They could say, coincidence has been on my side. They might even encourage to buy a lottery ticket and see if...

You just make things up as you go. Completely reject understanding that has existed since the Church Fathers explained it and the Theologians, Scholars, Preachers have confirmed.

Paul did but not Saul and that is 100% Bible proof that you are rejecting. Therefore, by rejecting Bible proof actually could make you a hater of God if we were using the guidelines that you have presented throughout this thread.

How about we ask what the Theologians, Scholars, and general Preachers have to say about it: Yes, the biblical figure of Saul, later known as Paul, is described as initially harboring hatred for Jesus and his followers. He actively persecuted Christians, believing they were a threat to his...

I agree but I can see there's the truth to each one of those verses and then there's the twisted version to make them match the Reformed Doctrine.

This actually is one of your better posts and well thought out even though man still has free will and we see this in Romans 1 how they reject God after knowing who He is.

Both of your post are spot on in the Calvin's way of thinking because a billion people could be dedicating their lives living for God that if God ultimately chooses who goes where could be sending all 1 billion confessing Christians to eternal damnation.

I am merely showing by the first post about natural man is although he's awakening he's still natural until being completely filled with the Spirit of God and there's no other way to refute that other than to flat out deny the absolute truth.

But the living unsaved still are able to visit the person dead physically in the funeral home. Truth is your doctrine is so full of holes because facts are still facts and nothing can change a fact. For one, God created the facts so no man's doctrine will ever be able to out maneuver the truth.

What's interesting about this discussion involving the [natural man] is that in the time when he hears the Gospel preached, he feels God working on his condition, and to the very moment he surrenders to God in submission he is still a [natural man]. He doesn't change until he is filled with...

They know this truth and willing to actually build a Doctrine on the foundation of a single example that when you examine that example learn that the person makes the first move before God moves. It's the most unbiblical doctrine ever created by MAN! The other equally unbiblical doctrine...

We do know that Pharaoh hardened his heart because the Torah speaks of it several times including that God took advantage of the fact that Pharaoh would harden his heart. I meant in Romans that Paul [as Saul and Pharisee of Pharisee] knows his readers are familiar with this concept. I am...
