Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: 2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it...

I found a good article on signs of false teachers. I am wondering what other characteristics of false teachers we can identify. I believe the book of Jude does a good job with this. What Can Church History Teach Us About Wolves? KEVIN DEYOUNG | APRIL 25, 2017 Last week Joe Carter (not that...

By the way, Karl Barth called the Bible the "paper Pope". That showed how much contempt he had for the inerrancy of Scripture. Guys like Leighton Flowers are promoting his corporate election view, though. Leighton Flowers is a professor at some Southern Baptist related seminary. His whole...

Right..it's really impossible to ignore election. Free-willers have tried to make a logical case for it for two centuries. But, I think that some free-willers here do not believe in election AT ALL, let alone holding the defective view of election based on foreseen faith. Some hold...

Correction to the above (not enough coffee this morning)... This line from the above: Other free-willers realize the inconsistency and claim that corporate election is true. In other words, God didn't elect anyone except Christ, and the believer, when saved, is placed in Christ. Therefore, God...

Here's another example of the real meaning of foreknowledge: 1 John 4:19 19 We love because he (God) first loved us. (ESV) God fore-loves those who belong to Him, and that is why they are brought into a loving relationship with Him. It is amazing how verses make sense when viewed under the...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you an open theist? In other words, wouldn't you hold the position that God doesn't know the future at all? If I remember right, you also hold the "corporate election" view, which in essence claims that God chooses no one. By the way, free-willers, none of...

I would agree with your remarks on the LORD's Day. I don't call the Lord's Day the Sabbath, though. I relate the Sabbath to ancient Israel as a covenant requirement, just like physical circumcision. Observing the Lord's day is perfectly appropriate, as it is the day of the resurrection, and...

Lucky you :) I just created a post on this issue, due to your remarks on the previous post. This describes the typical Reformed position on "foreknowledge". This isn't exhaustive but is meant to introduce the topic for discussion on the other thread. Some claim that the word "foreknowledge"...

Some claim that the word "foreknowledge", used in Romans 8:28-30, refers to events, rather than persons. In their view, God simply "foreknows" the persons' faith decision, and bases his election on this foreknowledge of their decision. Romans 8:28-30 28 And we know that for those who love God...

Regarding foreknowledge, the word basically means "fore-loved". It does not mean to have advance knowledge of one's decision. I could prove this with many texts, but perhaps you know them. For instance, Jeremiah 1:5. Additionally, Romans 9-11 uses the same concept in regards to Israel. The...

Oh..by the way...with the free willer Sunday School teacher scenario, there's another person who receives glory besides God...the Sunday School teacher, parent, friend, etcetera, who persuaded the saved person to accept Christ. So, there is a glory-hog fest quite often in free-willer circles...

I'm not sure why you think I don't subscribe to Reformed doctrine. In essence, I do believe Reformed doctrine except for a few minor points. For instance, some of them are rabid Sabbatarians and I am not. I believe the Sabbath was one of the two signs of the Mosaic Covenant, the other being...

Your last remark is inflammatory. Reformed people are not "followers of John Calvin". In fact, I have read very little about John Calvin. I saw Reformed theology in Scripture prior to ever hearing his name. In fact, it was my free willer pastor who told me "that's Calvinism" when I...

I don't think hardly anyone denies that the gifts of the Spirit are not in effect. What they are talking about specifically is miraculous sign gifts, and their position is that they were associated with the apostles. Whether I agree with them or not, I don't find the antics or practices I've...

I would agree with most or all of what you said, but I wouldn't call them "ministers of Satan". I would just call them misled or something like that. Someone can be wrong and still be a Christian. I am definitely not a dispensationalist, but I don't claim they are necessarily false...

By the way, if you want a good overview of my doctrinal position, it's in this document. I created it for prisoners at jail, although it was likely more details than most were willing to read. My focus is also chiefly on union with Christ, and not Reformed theology. This is the central...

“Reasons Why I Never Wash” in the Sunday bulletin: I was forced to as a child. People who wash are hypocrites - they think they are cleaner than everybody else. There are so many different kinds of soap; I can’t decide which one is best. I used to wash, but I got bored and stopped. I wash only...
