continuing reading the same chapter and you will immediately come to the parable of the wheat and the tares (weeds) which further confirms that only those who are chosen by God are the wheat who endure to the end and are saved and not the weeds which were left for God's greater purpose and...

Christ gave further clarity to the parable of the sower by immediately telling the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13:21-43 where the wheat represents the children of God and the tares (weeds) the children of the devil. There are many today who think they are wheat but are actually...

I had a similar journey. Thank you for confirming that the Doctrines of Grace is not a system made up by men but the plain truth of the whole of Scripture when seen though the lens of fulfilment in Christ and that God leads His people into all truth (John 14:26, 16:13).

and if man is that evil, can he do anything to save himself?

Scripture constantly warns of apostasy but it seems not to bother you that the majority of what is preached today is a false gospel which can not save anyone. I have never been bound by anyone's systematic theology but recognise that the simple truth of Scripture gives all of the glory to God...

If you can not agree that Scripture interprets Scripture then I have to wonder what type of seminary you went to if you are not willing to look at all the verses in Scripture that speak about and give clarity to any verse that may be in contention?

since you have not yet defined the status of man after the Fall it would be presumptuous to speak of whether faith was a gift or not for if man is indeed spiritually dead then everything he receives from God unto salvation has to be a gift of grace. This is the argument of the whole of Scripture...

my point was that God uses His people to teach each other through the Scriptures and those who refuse any teaching from others by saying that they only read the Bible are ignorant of God's decrees. You can call them systems or whatever but ultimately it is your responsibility to test everything...

If you think that the word "world" means every single person in the world without exception, then there can be no Hell and Christ is made out to be a liar for not all are saved. I sincerely hope you do not believe this as you would therefore be a Universalist. Those who believe that Christ only...

Wesley had a perverted man-centred view of the love of God like all Arminians today, caught up with experiences and emotions rather than truth and being inconsistent with the eternal, holy nature of God and Scripture which declares that God loves those who love Him and they only do so because He...

God is bound by who He is and has given of His Word for His people to know Him as revealed in Christ who is the express image of the invisible God and the brightness of His glory become flesh to save His people from their sin. This is only a mystery to those who are still judicially blinded...

did God lie for Adam ended up living to the ripe old age of 930?

all historical records of genealogies were destroyed in Jerusalem and all who presume to be directly connected by blood to Abraham are simply the seed of those who were converted to Judaism and therefore have no proof of a direct bloodline as God had destroyed the temple and along with it all of...

did Christ come to secure salvation for His people or did He come to simply make salvation possible for those who would choose Him? Please tell me which one gives God all of the glory and if it is true that God said that man is spiritually dead then how can a dead man choose God? These things...

Thank you for your extended response but I find succinct answers to be of more benefit. The judicial blindness that I was speaking of was that given by God to the proud and I am glad you finally confirmed this but it seems like you describe the man as blinding himself which is true in the sense...

I do not deny the motive of many of the godless institutions today but are you seriously stating that all publications must be disregarded and not even checked for validity because of a supposed bias?

you continue to falsely assume that I am driven by a Systematic Theology made by those who are Reformed but all I go to is Scripture to check what others have said. The only theology that I will attest to is called Biblical Theology which states that all Scriptures points to Christ. Now please...

do you agree that Scripture is inspired, inerrant and infallible? Everyone has certain presuppositions that they bring to Scripture but you must know that Scripture does not contradict itself and there are no literal paradoxes found it but if there are any difficulties in Scripture or seeming...

the only diversion I give is to return back to Scripture.

the topic is the subject of what faith is and I have said to you that all men know there is a God as is confirmed in Romans 1:20 and that they have a conscience as well which is confirmed in Romans 2:15, these are called general revelation and natural law which serve to make men more accountable...
