So you take it as some kind of limitation on God's power that He is unable to create living creatures who are able to make decisions only when controlled by God? If that is true, did not God Himself make man unable to make man that way - even though the Bible treats man AS IF he were able to...

…4 Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge. 5 Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me. 6Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me...

1. I was not asking for anyone to help me understand it. What I said is well known came from A. T. Robertson and nd Daniel Wallace. I have read many other Grammar works as well which does not mean I know everything. No one who has studied Greek understands that much 2. Looking back I saw that...

What I said is well known not some idiosyncratic idea of mine. Apparently, y Answer your own question: what is Dr. Bechtle's interpretation of the book of Isaiah if you are not too intimidated to attempt it?

1. Molinism is completely incompatible with classical Augustinianism from which arose Calvinism and Lutheranism both of which held completely to the primary teaching of Theistic Determinism. This is why all the Reformers read Augustine so extensively. 2. John Calvin himself wrote: Augustine is...

The term Hyperdispensation was not my invention. It came from those who earlier contended for the faith "once for all delivered to the saints" This (ALLEGED) 'second gospel" was not given by Jesus to the disciples but privately to Paul who then passed it on to the others. This is, at least...

I like the way you explain all aspects of the gospel comprehensibly yet with simplicity. I sometimes think of the seed of the gospel as divine DNA which when it comes to completion reproduces the nature of the Father. Having taught children with many genetic defects I am aware of the...

Paul, in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 stated faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the means unto salvation, without any mention whatsoever for the requirement for water baptism. (1) The LACK of mention of a practice or doctrine in one scripture passage does not provide positive proof of...

The Holy Spirit is the MEANS whereby we are empowered to obey: 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if BY THE SPIRIT you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are LED BY THE SPIRIT of God are sons of God.…(Romans 8:13-14)

I consider them to be saved like Old Covenant believers were saved. At that time people could draw near to God and He could fill them with the Holy Spirit. Many times the Bible recorded that the Spirit of God would fill or fall upon came upon a believer in YHWH. The NT phenomena was different...

I could not help but notice that, though you posited the existence of two DIFFERENT gospels you failed to describe just how the two gospels two alleged messages differed. I think that is important to know; especially if what is at stake is a person's salvation. Jews and Gentiles then, as now...

A. Notice that Colossians 1 says THE gospel has come unto you, as it is in all the world, Again he uses the singular form of gospel meaning that there are not more versions than that. B. In fact, he explicitly says there is ONLY ONE Gospel. Paul is saying that THE GOSPEL as in a single gospel...

The Bible never mentions TWO Gospels only ONE by which, if we believe, ANYONE can be saved. It does not even use the PLURAL form of gospel which it would if there were some another way to be saved for the Jews or Gentiles. Instead, Jesus commanded His disciples: 15to “Go into all the world and...
