    Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

    Becomes Trump a dictator?

    They will NEVER happen at all if no one ever does anything about it.

    Is Open Theism Heresy?

    Wow, your mind is warped and the way you choose to think of this is kind of stupid in my opinion. That's you're stupid logic not mine, I've never thought or believed anything close to this and it's a pathetic strawman to throw out there to try to strong arm a win in a conversation. Weak man. I...

    Becomes Trump a dictator?

    Yeah they've been in charge a LOT longer than we'd like to think. Did the oligarchs in charge 3 months ago bother you too? At least who you're calling oligarchs are SO MUCH more transparent that the dark backroom dealers we just kicked out of power. The ones hellbent on destroying the USA to...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    It figures, I was going to add to my comment a part where I said, "but the question mark made me think maybe you didn't mean that", and I hit send and didn't edit it in. My bad, it did sound much more harsh without it, but I did see that and think the same thing. Sorry about that.

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    I was in unbelief in the way that I was a false convert and thought I was a Christian. I responded to an alter call, repeated the prayer with "all my heart", and was declared saved by my pastor. Even went and got baptized after for good measure and to obey. For 5 or so years thought I was a...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    This is a great question, because I'd like to say yes too, and be done with it. The thing is that I know that I was in unbelief when He saved me, and now see that I could have never believed, for real, before He opened my eyes. So I think the answer is still yes, but it's not something we can...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    free will does NOT = Choice for the 7 x 70th time. But again refuse you acknowledge that we are talking about mans will being enslaved to sin, or to obedience leading to righteousness. When you say freewill and I say freewill we are talking about two different things. I get what you are...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    I see what you mean really now. I believe that God knows, He does know what choice we will make, but doesn't make it for us. I don't believe that Him knowing and allowing us to make the choice requires ignorance on His part. And this is why I find these kinds of subjects uninteresting, it all...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    He is also not a man, so I don't know exactly what rules do and do not apply to bad angels. I don't know why God did anything He has done. To be honest I don't really care. This line of questioning and the general topic of questioning why God does what He does, or how EXACTLY how "this thing"...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    Your argument here is disconnected and relies completely on the opinion you bring to the text. I don't even know how to approach what you're saying because it's all based on your opinion, maybe worry less about the Calvin Monster and more about your understanding. Help me to understand what...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    I see now, I knew I had something off. I was just looking at what you were saying from the wrong perspective. Thanks for clearing it up, because I was way off.:ROFL:, but to be fair I knew I had to be just because I read your comments most everyday and it just didn't line up. I guess I'd just...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    I don't exactly understand what point you're trying to make by saying "all sin was paid for", or the "consequences" of what belief? I'm not aware of what part of what I said you're saying is wrong. It's just going over my head here, are you saying that everyone is forgiven because all sin was...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    By the way my main point here isn't really the whole "choice/freewill" thing so much as it is just saying God get's ALL the glory for our salvation. I'm didn't really mean it in the way you took it, wasn't as much about the process of salvation and/or how it works, as it was about who gets all...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    By not being born again. Those who are not born-again go to hell. How are we born again? I can only tell you how I was, but I can tell you it wasn't me or anything I did. God saved me. He does this in MANY ways depending on the person, but the way we end up in hell is when we are not born-again...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    Well God doesn't "send us to hell", that's where we are all headed in the first place. I think this fact is ignored by WAY too many Christian with an inflated view of our "power". We have none. Our choice has NO power, None. Outside of God we are powerless and incapable, full stop. When He GIVES...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Not as big a travesty as people who take their warped view of what Calvinism is and use it as a label and cudgel to beat other professing Christians over the head with every time even the smallest of perceived difference pops into their closed mind. People that do not listen to the other they...
