You talk alot about grace but you are not very gracious ... you might wish to ponder that. God's punishment of sin was known by the early Puritans as "God's peculiar work" that is to say it is a work He does that is averse to His nature. He waits with long suffering. The early Puritans of the...

you are foolish

nobody wakes up saved one morning so obviously to say we do absolutely nothing is foolish. People are saved when God subdues the will. This is an easier process for some than it is for others, a happier process for some than it is for others. God's will prevails in every case.

George Whitefield who many of us think was the prime mover of the great awakening and the greater evangelist was much closer to what was going on and much closer to the Wesleys ... he does not share your withered judgement.

The pure doctrines of Sovereign Grace cuts God loose [not that He was ever bound] from all limitations and boundaries which the mind of human scholarship and understanding would put upon it. You talk about idols, you've got a few. I muse at the term Hyper grace, God's grace is spoken in the...

I got 2 points to make first is Hebrews 9:27 does not say it is appointed for man once to die and after that damnation. It says and after that the judgement. Everybody ASSUMES it means damnation....everybody. Everybody ASSUMES that everyone raised in the final resurrection are damned ...

Yes and he speaks for us all ... if you ever do experience agape love you will understand to the last comma and full stop what John Wesley means here. God's love is not attainable to our poor human hearts, we have but faint glimpses of it. People swoon when God manifests His love in a tangible...

God is not bound by your understanding or by Calvin's understand of Him or His word. One thing the Reformation has taught us all is that there is much in the bible which remains hidden to us unless and until God shines His light upon it.

Dear me I have been such a one as you describe as an evil monster, my heart was black as coal. And so was YOURS. You are kidding yourself if you do not believe you are guilty. It is the nature of man that is evil, not what he does. How many, many times when I hear of atrocities I must say...

I do not believe in man's choosings or his ability to "choose" or to "accept Christ" or "deciding for Christ" We are born again not by the will of man or by the will of the flesh but by the will of God. I am in the Sovereign Grace stream of theology. The difference I have with you is you...

Bah

beautiful.

Vine I always say vine. I mean of course Olive tree. Sorry but the scripture says olive tree not Christ Israel was not grafted out, some branches were grafted out it still remains their olive tree.

Now folk will object but Jerusalem is the city of God. He will reign from there.

Just a minute the parable of the Sower and His seed does not show that very few were saved. SOME fell on the path way, on rocky soil, among thorns. SOME fell on good [meaning I suppose cultivated] soil and only this seed gave a harvest 30 fold 60 fold and 100 fold. The saved refers to the soil...

None of that looks or tastes like scripture truth. Where does the scripture say God decreed by secondary causes that man should sin? It's what men suppose, it is human thinking. The scripture say "Thou shalt not" that was [and is] God's decree. Do you have electricity in your home? do you...

:) This particular passage of scripture is very special to me. I was not saved, I was Catholic but I had become interested by a gospel minister and had bought a bible, the Living bible a version I would heartily recommend. I was reading this very chapter on a long train journey. All those...

long time no see ... are you well? :)

The KJV has it "the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction" ... the question is who fitted them? Nobody starts out a murderer though they may have the propensity for it. We have to learn how to fight, to kill, we need to be trained. We even have to learn how to lie successfully, how to seduce...

:giggle: I knew that would get yuh. I believe the sovereign grace stream of theology without Calvin's boo boo. Lot was backslidden and he was saved through the intersession of Abraham.
