Because of your behavior.that's funny how come you keep saying I'm not speaking to you anymore
That normally spells dislike to me.
Isint the gospel declared in the heavens and the earth? Just because they never heard of Jesus dosent mean God never revealed himself to them in ways we do not know about.
Pass the buck as always.
It's what you always do and will.
Never own up, and only justify your actions by finding fault in others that they don't have, like assigning peoples faith to Calvinism everyday
Neither will you answer fundamental truths despite being asked with respect, and you couldn't care less to solid reasoning.
Anyhow if you can get over your 1000 foot wall you've erected
Can you talk about grace without assigning it to Calvinism.
Where can you see his enabling grace in the bible the most
I am joking, of course, with the animated GIF image (involving my previous post to you).
But you have to admit, what you are saying here is a bit out there.
It seems to fall into conspiracy theory kooky land.
No offense, I love you in Christ, even if you do speak strangely.
....
Anyway, please enlighten us on what you think 2 Thessalonians 2:10 says in the KJV.
Can you give us a word-for-word commentary on what that verse says in light of Calvinism?
....
The heavens declare the glory of God. And man knows of God through both creation and conscience. None of this is sufficient for salvation.
God's typical means of salvation is to send a messenger with the gospel and faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. This doesn't mean God is limited to this means, and can go directly to an individual and save them. And I've heard a number of testimonials to this personally. But when God saves an individual, truly saves them, their lives change. There is evidence. Personal evidence, and anthropological evidence. There are churches, and crosses, and jewelry, and religious artifacts consistent with Christianity. We don't find this in many, many people groups for long periods of time. When God does a work in people's lives, He makes an impression and leaves evidence of His work.
And worse...
They can never really answer how it is loving, honest, or just to tell people to believe in Christ for salvation when they are unable to believe.
And those who preach it should repent as in "change of mind" of course that is a problem for them since repentance is also determined by God according to their faulty soteriology.
You have no idea how many may or may not have been saved before the Cross. How much grace does it take to be saved? You think some need more grace than others? Not everyone receives the same amount of grace over the course of their lifetime but how much it takes to be saved is found in one Gospel.
Speaking my mind according to the evidence I see is not impugning your character. I spoke of my conviction, not your character. If you want to wear the shoe, that's up to you.
No-one said people save themselves. How many unsaved people has God elected?
Do you think it's normal to ask me a question on scripture to see if my views pass your anti Calvinist test ?
Another common retort that non-Calvinists soteriology is saving oneself.
They have a series of them they use.
One of many tactics to put the other person on the defensive and to deflect from the fact that their soteriology is completely false.
can anyone of you cite scripture that clearly demonstrates his enabling grace.
I have thousands and fyi in case you've not noticed I've only been trying to help people find agreement.
Can you cite a verse, go on you may be surprised at my answer
