You truly don't read too swell, do you? Brightflame could not have been more clear! Unbelievable!

Newsflash Two: The Abrahamic Covenant is also about more than messianic prophecy. It's also about the establishment of a nation (Israel) that God would bring into a covenant relationship with, and also about Abraham becoming the [spiritual] father of many Gentile nations since God would one day...

A blind squirrel does indeed find the occasional chestnut. Have you never read: John 16:12-13 12 "I have much more to say to you , more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he...

You mean...your version of the bible doesn't have the half-dead crime victim giving the Samaritan permission to save him?

FWers aren't big believers in Jesus setting people FREE...most especially free FROM certain things.

Uh, oh...God played favorites. He revealed something to Peter that He never did to the non-elect. But it gets even worse than that! Jesus chose Peter to be in covenant relationship with Him before Peter chose Him! That Jesus guy had a lot of chutzpah. Jesus obviously was not a big believer...

Pure rubbish. First, God didn't allow anything with Pharoah! God clearly decreed the king's reprobation (Ex 4:21) when He hardened his heart. And Rom 9 is not about messianic genealogy. Rather, it's about two different kinds of Jews within Israel, and who God sovereignly chose who would...

Yup! Is not the penalty of sin death? If Adam's sin is not imputed to all men in the distributive sense, then how could God be just in "permitting" infants, babies, young children, etc., who have not attained to a true knowledge of good and evil, suffer that penalty by dying before they reach...

It's a story about the nature of true love and how genuine, biblical agape love works. Love actively seeks the welfare of others. The Good Samaritan actually put his love into action through his compassion, mercy and grace by effectually ministering to the half-dead man. The Samaritan was...

FWers don't believe the Potter hasn't any rights over his creation, in spite of what Paul taught. All the rights belong to his clay pots. The Potter exists to serve his pots. :rolleyes:

There is no problem. As you pointed out, "we have Adam to thank for that". After all, he was our appointed Federal Head; therefore, in a real sense the entire human race was in Adam's loins when he sinned and self-destructed. And Rom 7 is describing Paul's Christian experience. No...

In spite of the fact that there are numerous scriptures that teach that God himself graciously imparts knowledge, wisdom and understanding to His People, GWH apparently sees such action by God as being reprehensible because if He actually did such a thing it would turn him into a Dr...

So, you cannot answer the question about whether or not God restrains evil in this world? Not surprised. You could not answer the rhetorical question in Jer 13:23 with a simple one word "yes" or "no" answer either. This clearly demonstrates the utter spiritual impoverishment to your false...

Why can't you answer my question about the restraint of Evil in this Dark World? Does God actively restrain evil? Or are you a closet Deist and you're just too ashamed to admit it publicly?

No irony. Man is either enslaved to his sin nature or of the new nature of which he has been qualified to partake in. Men, like their Creator, have always been free to act according to their nature -- not against their nature! Maybe you want to answer the rhetorical question in Jer 13:23a to...

You live in a world of lies and self-contradiction, clearly proving the veractity of Jer 17:9! It's really sad that you cannot see this. God clearly has not given you eyes to see and ears to hear.... In order to exalt your god Volition, you denigrate the Holy Creator of the Universe and...

Who has alternate choices? And when I say "could have", I'm speaking hypothetically, since you firmly believe that man is in total control of his own destiny. Your reasoning is circular because you have baked into your conclusion your premise. And when Jesus told his disciples that they can...

Yes, God performed the outward miracles at THAT time, and those miracles were not very effective because if they had been, there would have been no need for Moses to write about what kind of miracles God also did NOT perform AT THAT TIME. God's miracles did not extend to the Hebrews' HEARTS --...
