Predestination can be easily explained. If we study the scriptures carefully, we will discover that the way is predestined, not the individual. God chose Christ to be the Savior of mankind so that anyone or whosoever came to Christ was immediately chosen in Him. We are not saved by decree, but...

How did God do it, did He, Himself take a knife and slew him?

It all depends on whether we understand Hebrew thinking or not. Hebrew culture had the tendency to understand God as if He was the author and the finisher of every event that took place in their lives while ignoring the details that brought such events to its climax. In this case (Isa. 53:10)...

The "Rapture" is not a biblical word. What exactly do you mean by the Rapture?

OK, so what's your point? If you want people to engage in a discussion, you must present us with questions or challenges that cause us to respond and start the discussion.

Thank you for the information. One thing that this individual says is that Jesus was the subject of God's wrath which is an incomprehensible statement that makes God come against God and thus divide the Godhead that holds an unbreakable union. God cannot be against God becase it would rupture...

Thank you!

I never heard of Karl Barth. Who is he and what does he teach? As to one of your points, when did I ever suggest that God's love is not holy? Can you define God's love from God's perspective? I guarantee you it has nothing to do with a sloppy, carnal and sort of romantic love that we are so...

Your expectation of God is extremely limited. God is love (1Jn 4:16) which means He has given Himself to His creation via blood covenant. God was in Christ reconciling th wold back to Himself (2Cor. 5:19). Your assessment of the holy character of God lacks

You are the one who should be listening to yourself. God never works outside of his holy nature, therefore He only does according to who He is and what He has revealed to be. Provide chapter and verse where the cross of Jesus Christ is limited only to those whom God has chosen to save, while...

You missed my point completely. If God chooses to save people because He does what He wants, then the cross is the biggest failure in the history of the world. Calvinism is so wrong.

Good points! :D:D:D

So then, do you agree that God is a capricious deity that discards the very people He created because they are not worth a second look in His "holy" sight? How would John 3:16 read to you if we changed it to fit your Calvinistic beliefs? "For God so loved the ELECT that He gave His only...

So, according to your personal beliefs, on what basis does God choose who will be saved and who won't? Is it based on a whim, is it based on something good that He finds in the ones He chooses or is it because He is a capricious deity that uses people to either save and condemn to wind up in the...

Read it again. Christ is the way to the heart of the Father (Jn 14:6).

1) To tell you the truth, I'm not really interested in either Reformed Theology or whatever else it is being pushed here. 2) I never heard of Leighton Flowers nor do I care who he is. 3) I'm not subject to men's teachings or doctrines that do not line up with the pure word of God. 4) Since God...

This is my take, A study of Scripture on the subject of foreknowledge and predestination shows us that the way is predestined, not the individual. If that were not so, we would be saved by decree, not by faith. In His omniscience, God sees all things in advance. He predestined Christ as the...

No. God has elected the whole word to be in Christ. Christ's salvation is cosmic and encompasses all of God's creation. So, through the gospel of Jesus the Messiah, people either receive and embrace the good news or reject the Lord. If the rejection continues until death, the person is lost...

God does not elect specific individuals to be joined to His Church. God has chosen the whole world to be in Christ through the gospel. Those who receive Christ are immediately 'CHOSEN IN HIM while those who reject His grace remain lost until they either repent or die in their sins. You seem to...
