Oh it most certainly WAS an evangelistic outreach.....and people CHOSE salvation, all those who DESIRED to live...
"Of course I already know that you do not comprehend the significance of this passage, as you likewise fail to comprehend most any other...
"
Yes, for those who believe. That is the plan of salvation, you know. Or don't you???
well I agree that maybe just maybe there could of been some who could have joined the Israel camp, but did they join out of there love for God or there fear of God, and where they filled with the holy spirit to ?Wrong again little buddy lol.
Jos 6:1 - Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Everybody in Jericho who wanted to be saved were saved.
If course I already know that you do not comprehend the significance of this passage, as you likewise fail to comprehend most any other...
And remember the punishment in another battle where they disobeyed God for sparing just one ?
Im not sure you know what your talking about m
Perhaps the initial defeat at Ai was an attempt on God's behalf to give the residents of Ai a longer altar call. Wonder why their evangelistic outreach didn't include musical accompaniment.Oh. Do you think these FW people actually base their beliefs on Scripture? Haha, good one, Cam!!!.
Reformed/calvie/tulipers all have a veil over their eyes.....
They do and it is by their own choice.
Calvinism invalidates the invitation to personal salvation to all men.
It is against Christ.
Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia says about Gnosticism:
“Gnosticism is Christianity perverted by a learning and speculation. The intellectual pride of the Gnostics refined away the gospel into a philosophy making salvation exclusive and not universal. They lived under the conviction that they possessed a mysterious knowledge that could only be understood by them."
Now how many times have we read, "you do not understand "reformed theology."
Sure...just show me the scripture which backs your claim.Oh it most certainly WAS an evangelistic outreach.....and people CHOSE salvation, all those who DESIRED to live...
"Of course I already know that you do not comprehend the significance of this passage, as you likewise fail to comprehend most any other...
And the spirit and the bride say, Come! And the one hearing let say, Come! And the one thirsting, let him come. The one choosing, let him take water of life freely. Revelation 22:17
Calvin: "No, not you, kid! You weren't chosen! Get outta here, ya bother me!"
Hobbes: "Master, should we burn him alive at the stake with green wood?"
Calvin: "Fool! Christians can't act so inhumanely. Use dry wood."
Some here do not like the word enabled. They will say the real word means to be compelled or dragged
away by force. I am puzzled if they think that supports the premise of the will being free to choose.
And it certainly does not derail or nullify the idea of being enabled. They just like to make noise.
Still promoting the lie that Calvin supported burning at the stake, I see.
So much for you only being wrong in one detail. You cling to your error.
Free will is a vain self-exalting philosophically-based belief not taught in the Bible.
Colossians 2 v 8, Romans 16 v 18, Romans 10 v 2, Proverbs 19 v 2a ~ See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge. Zeal is no good without knowledge. They teach as doctrine the precepts of men.
No. Go gather your own manna little buddy. Or go hungry....
BTW, it would take maybe a minimum of 20 hours of lectures to grasp merely the basics of that peculiar scenario.
What does Gnosticism have to do with it? The Bible explicitly connects knowing God with attaining
to life ever after, and nobody knows God except those to whom Jesus chooses to reveal Him.
Ah, but yes, you despise and heap scorn on those who affirm that God keeps His promises.
John 17 verses 2-3 ~ You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom You have sent.
Matthew 11 verse 27 ~ All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
Funny, sure that comes to a person through '
They just harden their hearts regarding what they preach, it is really something.
