There is no "maybe" regarding God's answer to prayer. It is always "yes", "no", or "wait".
God, from within eternity ordained that at an exact moment in history, you would choose to offer a specific prayer, and He had eternally ordained His specific answer to match it.
You sound confused. How does one receive life from the dead ? How did the dead lazarus receive life from the dead ?So we have to receive life first and then we can again receive life from God.
What do you ignore?
Tattoos of a dragon and a unicorn?
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:22
.
Like I stated this doctrine cannot be taken seriously and by default neither can the promoters.
Obviously this is not about fruits of the spirit but those who follow false prophets.
How ironic.
15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’
Matthew 7: 14-22
Thank you, all glory to God! I have not written reggae into my style prompts, yet, that I can recall.Very talented!!!! Good lyrics
plus a little raggae style music.
Sometimes getting anything decent from the generator is quite the process, meaning? Over a hundred
versions of some songs, trying this and that. The generators are highly interpretive and sometimes simply
refuse to follow your directions, for whatever reason, so when they get it right it can feel like a miracle.
For instance, on one of my generators I tried this song almost 40 times and got nothing I felt I could use.
I signed up to a new generator as a result and got more crazy making, giving me 6o sec. clips, not songs.
But it did finally generate this song from the lyrics and style prompt I gave it, and it turned out well, I think.
That is how Satan's angels were taking apart the truth during the time period the Lord allotted for angels to decide whom they were going to serve.
We are now being as a reenactment of sorts of that allotted time for God's angels to study and see themselves in.
"It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you,
when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who
have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.
Which things the angels have an insatiable desire to bend over and concentrate on." 1 Peter 1:12

Calvinists always need to add words to scripture, to twist them to conform to their mistaken theology.
The Bible says “all”. Calvinists say “not to all, but to a group that has been spiritually prepared and are now under the laborious burden of their sins”.
@2Christ explained this:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28, ASV)
A command to come assumes the hearer can respond.
And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. (John 5:40, ASV)
Jesus did not say they could not come. He said they would not come.
In the Old Testament God repeatedly calls people to choose:
I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life.(Deuteronomy 30:19, ASV)
A person who is incapable of responding cannot meaningfully be commanded to choose.
I would like to see a Scripture verse articulating the free will of the natural man,
but one does not exists despite someone just lying to me about this. Free willers
make all kinds of wild claims that include slander and blasphemy. They must think
nothing about it because they do it so often. Adding words to Scripture and twisting
what is explicitly stated is a favourite pass time of theirs. Nor are they above rewriting
the very words of Jesus Christ Himself. A major mistake they make? Being told to choose
does not mean the will is free. The natural man they love to pretend is free is a slave to sin.
That does not speak of freedom.
This coming from a person who uses occult witchcraft imagery, dragon tattoos and unicorns, in every post.
Why would Jesus say repent, if people are too depraved and spiritually dead to obey? There’s your free will.
Free will is involved in every command in the Bible.
I am familiar with your type of manipulative perverted abuse. I did just make reference to it
in the post you quoted. You love your lies. Your ignorance is evident. Unicorns are in the Bible.
What the Bible actually teaches is that Christ sets us free. I hope you are able to embrace the Truth soon.
Calvinism is a Doctrine where someone takes single Verses all throughout the Bible to form an idea.
Interesting enough, whenever you go and study each Verse and you read the Verses before and after you clearly see how this Doctrine is using said Verse doesn't even align with all the Verses before and after.
So it's obviously Cherry Picked for a specific reason and intent. Most likely and generally for the purposes of creating a man made Dogma to use against someone else.
Nowhere in the Gospels between Matthew and Luke can you truly find the majority of the things these Cherry Picked Verses mean which indicates a red flag.
In fact, you won't find anything remotely close to Calvinism in the Gospels until you begin reading the Letters from Paul and that is nowhere close to the Gospel that Yeshua preached while on earth.
I will say Calvinism has many great viewpoints but once you research the Scripture reference for each Verse it's painfully obvious this is a personal belief but nothing we ever see God Himself proclaim.
Remember, unless it's a direct quote from God Himself it's still a human mind that is choosing each sentence to write.
It's not like God was standing by the writers forcing them to write each word. The writers were Inspired and then tried their best to input what they understood.
This is why the Hebrew has also Numerical Values to each letter and word and several words that are possible translation like the Greek in the New Testament.
You can read a Verse and by the time you break down each possible word and Numerical Values you can have 8 different meanings.

At its core they really promote a very false plan of salvation and then they stitch together this whole thing about "man" in his fallen state mining for verses they think support this total inability.
I mean they are actually known by their bad hermeneutics and their repetitive narrative amongst other behaviors.
They think they are regenerated/given something new before a person believes, since this not supported biblically since we know the
bible teaches it is through belief/faith and then all the benefits are given (new heart, regeneration, justification etc.,) what does this
really say about people who have never exercised belief / faith which is clearly the condition set in scripture..... on a purely conceptual level are
they really in the fold or do they just think they are?
Yes, the Christians without the particular Reformed/Dort
can see the problems.Some reformed doctrine is okay as long as it not about soteriology, in that area they go right off the rails.
