Jesus tells those who hear to repent. Those with ears to hear. Do FWers really think Jesus
expects deaf people to hear? He could open their ears if He wanted. I guess people are
blind to this and need Jesus to open their eyes! So weird that free willers want to keep
PRETENDING that everyone hears when Jesus makes plain that everyone does not hear,
and moreover, He tells us why. His sheep hear. I mentioned this recently and was asked
what my point was because people love trying to hammer me with their ignorance.


John8-43and47-Acts13-48-Romans8-8.png

John 8 verses 43, 47, Acts 13 verse 48, Romans 8 verse 8, John 8 verse 43 “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.” “Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.
 
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.
I will not embrace your distorted occult “truth”.

Christianity does not use unicorns and dragons as symbols.

In the realm of sorcery and witchcraft, the unicorn is a complex symbol representing the pure, untamed spiritual force, the transmutation of base consciousness, and the synthesis of dualistic energies. Rather than just a fairy tale, esoteric traditions view it as an emblem of forbidden, hidden, occult wisdom.

When the Bible mentions "unicorns," it does not refer to the mythical, horse-like creature of fairy tales. Instead, translations like the King James Version (KJV) use the word to translate the Hebrew re'em—a fierce, untamable, and powerful horned beast, most likely a wild ox, rhinosaurus, or aurochs.

I will not embrace your perverted manipulative abuse. The Bible is not clear on what a unicorn is, so
you can pretend to know in order to maintain your obnoxious attitude because you do love it after all.

You act just like men who want to believe beauty has no use if it is
not for your own perverted fantasy projections and selfish pleasure.

I praise God for setting me free. I shall pray the same for you.

Inscribed Upon His Hands
This is one of my earlier praise and worship compositions.
 
Really perplexing how people insist God only commands things people can obey.

One must wonder if they also mistakenly believe they circumcised their own ears and hearts.

Perhaps they think they un-blinded themselves also. Yes, perplexing indeed.


Romans11-32s.png

Romans 11 v 32 God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on all.
:)
 
1-Corinthians2-12-Colossians2-13s.png

1 Corinthians 2 verse 12; Colossians 2 verse 13 When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. [color]
 
Righteousness-Of-Christ.png

Righteousness Of Christ ~ “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” You were dead in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. The Son gives life to whom He is pleased to give it. If Christ is in you, your spirit is alive because of righteousness. We put on the righteousness of Christ.
 
Philippians3-3-Colossians2-11-Romans2-29b.png

Philippians 3 verse 3; Colossians 2 verse 11; Romans 2 verse 29b ~ For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh. You were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands. Circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code.
Unfortunately free willers are all about putting confidence in the flesh, insisting the
man of flesh is capable of doing the very things Scripture explicitly says he cannot.
 
mindofflesh.png

The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8 v 6-8 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2 v 13-14
Funny/peculiar how we are hated for upholding what Scripture actually says while FWers add
to what is written and twist what is explicitly stated and then pretend that is what we do.
 
from-Revelation3-17-18.png

from Revelation 3 verse 17-18 ~ You say, ‘I need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
The "you" in this verse could be hishere who has claimed people do not need God in order to come to believe in
Him; she has some weird new age Darwinian belief about people being more evolved now than they used to be.
People like her butcher Scripture repeatedly, and blaspheme God, as well as applauding those who do likewise.
 
There can be no ignoring of these doctrines, called "Calvinism"; if they are not preached and confessed, they are denied. Every preacher, every Church, every member of every Church must take a stand regarding them, and does take a stand. It is impossible not to. For they are writ large on the pages of Scripture, as essential elements of the gospel. Whoever rejects Calvinism embraces the only alternative to Calvinism - a system of doctrine that is opposed to Calvinism in every point.

Does a man reject total depravity?
Then he believes that fallen, natural man yet retains some good and some ability for good, specifically a will that is able to make a decision for Christ; that man outside of Christ is not dead in sins, but merely sick, that is, not dead, but alive.

Does a man reject limited atonement? Then he believes that Jesus died for each and every human being without exception. Because both Scripture and the hard facts of life teach that some men do perish in hell, this advocate of universal atonement believes that the death of Jesus did not actually atone for sins at all, but merely made atonement possible; that the cross was not the payment of the ransom in the stead of every one for whom Christ died, but merely an example of love; that the suffering of the Son of God did not effectually satisfy the justice of God by bearing sins away, but merely...? Did what? Anything at all? And if not, was He really the eternal Son of God in the flesh?

Does a man reject irresistible grace? Then he believes that God's call to salvation and the grace of the Holy Spirit depend upon the acceptance of the sinner by the exercise of his "free will," so that God's grace can be defeated and fail. Further, he believes that, whenever a sinner does come to Jesus in true faith and receives salvation, this is not due to the grace of God, but to the good will of the sinner.

Does a man reject the perseverance of saints? Then he believes that every believer can fall away and perish at any time, including himself.

Does a man reject predestination? Then he believes that the ultimate source and foundation of salvation is man's choice, decision, and will.

That is really arrogant to claim that everyone must care about the warped theology of the miserable John Calvin.

What is perhaps the most horrible doctrine of Calvinism is the so-called “sovereignty” of God, which turns God into a monster who actually wills, and does not merely foreknow and allow, sin and evil to happen.

They do not understand “sovereignty”, which refers to being the ultimate ruler and law-giver over a kingdom, but not the cause of all that occurs in it.

Calvinists claim that everything that happens, no matter how vile or perverse, is willed and approved by God.

They affirm that nothing is beyond the control of God and they gleefully ascribe diabolical deeds, atrocities, and abominations to Him. They feel no shame or impiety in making these outrageous, sacrilegious, and shockingly immoral assertions.

This is not the thrice-holy God of the Bible, who is Love and Light, and in Whom is no darkness at all.


Psalm 92:15

The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in Him.



Calvinists assert that God wanted Adam to fall in the garden of Eden. God is so contradictory, according to their teaching, He gives a command, then wants His command to be violated. Making God the author of sin.

Jeremiah 19:5 debunks this deviant pseudo-theology:

They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into My mind.

Calvinism is the Gospel, you been deceived into thinking its men doctrine.
Free willers lie about a lot, slander, blasphemy, it is all fodder for their denial of what Scripture
explicitly articulates, which they contradict, and claim things like, oh it does not mean what you
think, when I believe what it actually says, not what they twist it into. They blaspheme God thinking
nothing of it, telling us what an unjust tyrannical monster He is and how unfair for Him to do the very
things Scripture shows Him doing from the beginning of the Bible to the very end. Some of the things
they say are too disgusting to repeat but they don't care. If you believe the Bible, you are a Calvinist.

They even lie about Calvin and attribute things to him that are untrue. Nothing is safe from their desire to deceive.

You make sweeping generalizations, about those who believe man has free will, that are patently untrue of many.
I believe God frees the will of man through His prevenient grace so they may receive or reject the offer of salvation.
Believing this does not cause me to lie about a lot, slander, blasphemy or deny what scripture teaches.
Peace.

Oh? Where have you been? I am making specific claims about specific people. Get with the program.
Lying, slander, blasphemy etc are common occurrences with these people. Like that old coot who just
lied about me saying occult witchcraft imagery is in every post I make. It is disgusting the lies they tell.

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
It is scary to consider.

Imagine how downhearted God’s angels became when they saw fellow angels they had loved
being condemned and rejected by God?
There must have been an era of great depression for any of them.
I believe there came a point where God wanted to cheer them up.

But how?

That is when man was created.
Created, and allowed to fall.
Man and God's redemption has become a wonderful way to teach the angels as to why what happened
to the fallen angels must be, and has to be. They see this clearly by how evil men must be destroyed.
Because they were Chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world!
Chosen how? ........ In Christ!

For what?
Where was the woman when Adam was made to be a living soul?
She was In Adam!

Likewise... We have been chosen by God to be the Bride of Christ!
And, we were... "chosen in Him!"

For that reason?
To have a body just like His Glorious body!

To do so?

We had to be predestined.
Predestined by God to be born during the Church age.
So that we would become His Bride when we got saved.
And to be presented before all gloriously at the Resurrection!!

As Eve was in Adam before Adam was placed into a deep sleep?
We right now are hidden IN HIM, awaiting to be revealed having our glorious resurrection bodies!

My goal is that they may be encouraged in
heart and united in love, so that they may
have the full riches of complete understanding,
in order that they may know the mystery of God,
namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge.


Colossians 2:2-3​
