Perhaps in the first statement FT generalized Calvin's dogma of TULIP to include all of his beliefs,
but in the second video he had Calvinist doctrine other than TULIP in mind, which is why I make it
a point to say that tulipism is heretical but not necessarily every aspect of Calvin's Reformed tradition.
It is God Who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose. Apart from Me you can do nothing. No word from God will ever fail. “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
exodus 7:3, 7:13, 7:22, 8:19 9:12 9:34 10:20 10:27.
So this is 8 verses mentioning the lord, hardening the Pharaoh, heart
.theres 4 verses that mention pharaoh hearened his own heart
Which means this
The lord can harden whom he hardens and can soften who's heart he's softens.
When Pharaoh let the Israelites go it was not a decision of his own will.
The pharaohs last words to the Israelites was worship your lord
Oh goodness me. I didn't even notice. Mind you it was 6am here when I posted, do I get some leeway? The coffee hadn't kicked in.
Romans 9 verse 18; John 6 verse 44; John 6 verse 65; John 6 verse 37; John 6 verse63; Titus 3 verse5 ~ God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. He saved us because of His mercy, through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

must be Douglas,
The lord has shined a light today for you my friend
Long live life and we say death to sin.
Sin is no more right here right now, the lord say he will harden your heart to accepting all sin that may be chucked upon you.
Because the war is won my friend
Long live hope
For it is in living hope you where saved.
With that I say good morning
@Jordon : Yes, good morning, my dear brother!
The apostles didn't build the church. Christ has been building his church all these centuries. (Mat 16:18).
Do you feel defeated since you didn't tackle my other two objections? If the Church can ignore what Jesus told the apostles about how he sovereignly limits his revelation, then why can't we ignore everything that God told his elite class of apostles? How does any of it apply to the lowly rank and file believer?
lol I wished I was green in all Whitly land
Where whit is free and life is free
Roll out the barrel my friend the free will of the covenant of the jaws live on
Show me the way to home
Gentleman start your engines
Thank you for asking. Yes, all is well with me and my family. God bless you.aahhh tourist

He told the apostles everything we need to know. They wrote it down for us. He also told the apostles everything they need to know to build the church. Jesus is the cornerstone the apostles finished the foundation we are the individual bricks and nails and boards.
You still don't get it. Christ builds his church through his church! (See also Heb 3:3-4 where God is the builder of EVERYTHING!) And if the apostles wrote it down for us, then that means the limiting of revelation has application for Christ's entire church right here and now. You also conveniently forget that it's God who gives the increase to gospel preaching and teaching -- not the apostles! His Church would be a big ZERO if God were not the builder.
We can only assume it's his lunacy as He has the power and right to save whoever He wants and He wants all men to be saved but doesn't save all men.
On top of that we are supposed to accept he will give to us the desires of our hearts Ps.37:4 but can't even give Himself the desires of his heart.
It just gets crazier and crazier.
Calvin, and almost everyone alive in that part of the world at that time, had been immersed into the RCC culture that many accepted as a norm.
To kill heretics at the stake was till viewed as a way to deal with heretics.
Which was revealing a very self righteous streak in the minds of many.
I am so glad the Lord did not have me to be living in those days...
My personal view here is
I don't think it's appropriate to decide to who's right who's wrong,
As the moral of the story for me which as kept my sanity throughout this thread, is everyone can express free will.
It kinda wants me to be a tax collector
