That does not in any way detract from the written Word of God today. In fact that was the way in which divine Preservation worked. And that is not 1500 years but over 3,500 years. What should be noted is that because God's hand was always over His Word, the Scriptures have come down to us from...

What does the Bible say? That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Rom...

Don't worry. Only Calvinism thinks this is rocket science. Hence all the theological jargon.

You are either ignorant about what the Bible says, or you are deliberately suppressing the truth. And stop using the insulting term "free-willers". The Bible states again and again that Christ died for the sins of the whole world, and that He was sent so that the whole world might be saved...

Grandpa, all sins have been atoned for all humanity. But the application of that atoning work is only good for those who obey the Gospel. It is that simple. Let's take a mundane example. There is a disease raging in your city that requires a vaccine. This vaccine is freely available all, and...

Making light of this certainly does not help a person who is really searching for the truth. Even unbelievers know better than to smoke and ingest poisons. So if a Christian who smokes approached a non-smoking unbeliever to share the Gospel , he might even be asked "Would Jesus be smoking if He...

Correct. There is no such thing as "angelic flesh" for the simple reason that angels are SPIRIT BEINGS. When angels appear to men in Scripture, they assume a human form and speak ordinary human language.

It would almost seem from what is stated in Eph 4:13 that Paul is speaking about the future perfection of the saints. It is quite evident that this condition does not exist in Christendom. But coming back to the meaning of the unity of the faith, we are not left to wonder at what it means (Eph...

This is a misrepresentation of non-Reformed beliefs. Every person who obeyed the Gospel made a CONSCIOUS DECISION (including you). And God demands a conscious decision as we see in Scripture (Acts 2:37,28). AFTER CONVICTION A DECISION MUST BE MADE Now when they heard this, they were pricked in...

There you go using the pejorative "free-willers" while objecting to derogatory comments about Reformed Theology. The true teaching on divine election is that God elects the ones who will obey the Gospel (and be justified) to be perfected -- "conformed to the image of His Son". That is included...

After a reasonable time, one should leave off trying to present the truth when it is not welcome.

You have no problem contradicting God and Christ do you? Where does Scripture say that Christ died EXCLUSIVELY for the elect? And where does the Bible says that God elects only some for salvation? Yours is a manufactured theology which is as far from Bible truth as one can get.

Then he would have had no problem rebuking Satan. But he couldn't -- and wouldn't ---because he is not the LORD. On the other hand when Christ commissions him to take down Satan and his evil angels in the future, he will be under divine orders, and will fulfil his responsibility.

That's the problem with false beliefs. People generally double down on them, rather than abandon them and admit they were on the wrong track. And posting reams of so-called *proof* does not change that.

When dealing with Bible subjects, this does not apply. Michael is an archangel, a created angelic spirit being, and definitely not God, but subordinate to God.

You just don't get it. The whole point of divine inspiration is to prevent human fallibility from entering into the written Word. So let's make this really simple. Assume that you are a junior employee in a company who needs to calm down an irate customer. Since you have no experience in...

So what? Focus on the merits of the translation itself, which became in effect the sole English language translation for over 300 years. If -- as you imagine -- it was a worthless translation, it could not have reached this place of eminence. And even its enemies -- the revision committee that...

Using the term "Free-Willer" is not conducive to any reasonable discussion (since you have been objecting to some of the descriptions of TULIP by others). Non-Reformed ( or better yet Biblicist) is exactly what it is. And as far as I'm concerned, the Calvinist doctrine of Total Depravity is a...

I don't think it is a *tactic* but it is a necessary part of properly interpreting the Bible. There cannot be any contradictions within Scripture, so if something seems to be contradictory, it needs to be harmonized. One of the best examples is that of the resurrection account in the Four...

You could have placed another Scripture from Hebrews to maintain the correct balance (Heb 2:9): But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Just ignore...
