God responded to the prayer of Hezekiah and many others.

Yes, but all is well brother. Rest assured I’m not a Calvinist.

I pray all the time that the word of God and the gospel would penetrate hearts and that the Lord would surround the lost with those willing to preach the gospel. Romans 9 has zero to do with my statement.

Prayer matters. Prayer can cause things to happen that maybe would not have happened unless someone prayed. God responds to our prayers, yes?

Brother, read my post again more carefully. I am not a Calvinist. I was responding to the post on why Calvinists think the way they do.🤦‍♂️

That’s the point. Why pray and fast for someone’s salvation if God has already elected to save them before the foundation of the world? Why pray at all? For a Calvinist, prayer cannot change anything for all things have been ordained by God.

Maybe it’s referring to the promise of life to the Gentile world. Israel was supposed to be the light to the Gentiles, so God is fulfilled that promise through Paul ministry to the Gentiles.🤷🏻‍♂️

All bible believers are dispensationalists to one degree or another, just saying. If you're not out building an ark or sacrificing an animal you understand the divisions that are in scripture. The main division we must see is between God's physical people Israel, and God's spiritual people the...

It is referring to his testimony, how he died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. When you confess one another, you confess what that person has done for you. It is not confessing that Jesus is Lord as the new versions have corrupted this verse. Only a...

Why does that matter? The question at hand is, was Jesus tempted in all points "like" we are tempted, yet without sin? The answer is yes.

I'm standing on what saith the scripture. Jesus was tempted in all points "like" as we are tempted, and yet without sin. Was he not tempted to give to turn against God when Satan asked him to bow down to him?

I deny the Greek philosophy of fatalism.

God knows all things. The things you're talking about was not even knowledge before the foundation of the world. Can God choose not to know things that may or may not take place in the future? Will your sins and iniquities he will remember no more?

Actually, the context of the passage is what's found in Christ before the foundation of the world. Not one person was even known before the foundation of the world, more or less, placed in Christ. That's ludicrous!

The word "like" indicates the temptations that Christ faced was like all that we face, not the exact same. He was tempted in the flesh like as we are. He was tempted by the devil, like as we are. etc...

I can fully see in Luke's account that the sower is none other than the Lord. Notice it states, "his seed." And the seed is the word of God. His seed, his word. Interesting... Luke 8 5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and...

Isaiah 7 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. 16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and...

Yes or no, was Christ tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin? Christ doesn't have to actually sin to experience the temptation to sin. Christ, being tempted, can now help us overcome the temptation without it getting to the point of sin. In other works, Christ can now be...

How are you using the word "perfect"? Biblically, perfect never means sinless. Jesus was always sinless, but he was being made perfect through his temptations and earthly experiences. Perfect meaning, complete, whole, not lacking. Has God in heaven ever experience what it's like to be...
