Amen! Believing on the name of Jesus means to “Accept Christ Jesus as Lord” (as in Acts 16:31, 2Cor. 4:5 & Col. 2:6). The main points of Christian orthodoxy implicit in this statement can be explained or elaborated as follows: There is a/one all-loving and just Lord or God (Deut. 6:4, John...

Yes, but most people are like the folks who watched Noah build the ark.

We need to apply GW to politics or else the Terminator movie will become reality.

Your explanation is liver, because it ignores rather than harmonizes Scripture. If God effectually drew sinners, Jesus wasted his breath commanding them to "seek" (Matt. 7:7), and no "reward" would be warranted (Heb. 11:6). In fact, there would be no need for Scripture, because God could...

1. It is not disputed that sinful man may be described as deceitful, evil, loving darkness, and unable to be saved without God. 2. Paul’s point in Romans 3:10-12 is stated in v. 9 & 20: All are sinners, and no one will be saved via obeying moral law, the purpose of which is to make souls aware...

6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man...

Isa. 7:14. “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” The quotation of this verse in Matt. 1:23 says "and they will call him Immanuel", meaning "God with us". Jesus was a human being like you and me, but in order to fulfill this prophecy and show...

Well, willful ignorance certainly is stupid or foolish, whether by atheists or by Christians after they were wise enough to believe the Gospel but ignore the rest of GW (didache). The worst suffering for Christ may have been that of Paul per his description in 2Cor. 11:23-27.

Now that the MFWist position has been introduced, let us continue analyzing the #2 post on the UGE thread: 5. “leads us to and grants us repentance (Rom. 2:4, 2Tim. 2:24-25), grants the act of believing (Phil. 1:29), works faith in the believer (John 6:28-29), causes us to be born again (1Pet...

RQ: Is the AI singularity blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? (Asked by Bannon on Warroom today.)

Before proceeding with the analsis of the TULIP doctrine, perhaps the opposing viewpoint should be introduced, which may be termed Moral Free Will (MFW) as follows: M – God’s requirement for salvation (GRFS) is a Moral one: seek right/truth/love, and His moral option presumes human volition...

Next, the #2 post on UGE said: 4. “God appoints people to believe (Acts 13:48), chooses who is to be holy and blameless (Eph. 1:4), predestines us to adoption (Eph. 1:5), calls according to His purpose (2Tim. 1:9), chooses us for salvation (2Thes. 2:13),” Again, it is not disputed that God...

No, it means that we should appreciate the scholarship of those who study the various manuscripts in order to provide us the best version of Scripture, so it contains golden nuggets like these: TOP #145: Those who learn the Gospel truth and believe in Jesus receive the Holy Spirit as a...

Guess I might as well share another one of mine since we seem to have exhausted the supply of Biblical nuggets in other secular music: “Wouldn’t It Be Fine?” Wouldn’t it be fine if we made time To sing a song for everyone. But men are dif; its one big if. Wouldn’t it be good if someone would...

TOJ #44: Ask/seek/knock. [Matt. 7:7-11/LK 11:9-13] These three synonyms are three, four and five letter words for GRFS. Ask what is true, seek salvation, and knock on heaven’s door. (See Heb. 11:6) The parallel passage in Luke makes this clear, because instead of “good gifts” it says the...

The #2 post on UGE continued by saying this: 3. “is by nature a child of wrath (Eph. 2:3), is at enmity with God (Eph. 2:15), is hostile to God and cannot submit to God’s law (Rom. 8:7).” Let us analyze this statement in order to separate the problematic parts from the unobjectionable...

Enabling = Irresistible = Forcing = Determining per the I in TULIP.

11. Reformation. From this point on the increased documentation of events enabled by the printing press makes it more difficult to briefly summarize the HOB. In the 1500s the main ideologies included Islam in the Middle East and North Africa, atheist Buddhism and Confucianism in the Far East...

Kudos to Sec-Def Hegspeth for sponsoring a monthly prayer meeting at the Defense Department, but regarding the bill in Texas to post the Ten Commandments in schools: Is it possible to post the first nine and/or the two commandments Jesus affirmed as greatest (Matt. 22:37-40)?

Returning now to our main topic after chasing that rabbit: EPH 3:12-13 – “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.” “In him and through faith in him” –...
