Doesn't seem to be what Jesus says.
John 6: 37 All that the
Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out
If you don't mind my asking, which one? I'm considering expanding my "operations" into a third board.
As long as he's not a hyper I'm glad to not be the only one on these forums.
Could you explain how that verse contradicts what he says? I don't really see how one could get that from the verse, care to explain?
I'm not sure what is meant by "timely deliverance", however...
When it says, "if you confess with your mouth" that does not mean that just because you say some words that affirm of one's faith it is a work of justification, but such confession does however give an outward evidence of inward faith, and often confirms that faith to those who confess Christ is Lord. I also think one should recognize that when it says "Will be" there is a matter of linguistics that is being overlooked.
It would be similar in concept to saying, "I was in the hospital with Pneumonia" and treating Pneumonia as a person.
"Pneumonia and I went for a walk"
Look at who the Apostle Paul is addressing.
Also, be careful about not letting the bible define it's own terms. Context is key, otherwise you'll have to say verse 15 tells us women are saved through childbirth.
I guess you don't doggedly oppose Calvinism?
Do you think Calvinism makes God bad or evil?
Do you think it makes God out to be an unloving, uncaring ogre, choosing some for salvation and others for destruction for no reason?
Do you think Calvinism makes God worse than Adolf Hitler?
There's not too many Calvinists. I only know of three or four.
Myself, Phil36, Forest now, that grace guy whom I can't remember his name, and that South African gal who recently posted in one of the threads in the Teens Forum. The calvies are by far outnumbered by those saying "ya'll bunch a bad guys, m'kay".
Welcome Forest.
Run, Forest, Run!!! (just had to
)
