I am undecided, but I do see that God has predestined some things, not all things. But assuming God knows the future free will choices a 100% to answer your question: Because God knowing something ahead of time does not cause humans to act the way they do, so while the future is settled in a...

Foreknowledge does not equal causation. Allow me to show it from the Scriptures, where God foreknows something that does not eventually happen: 1 Samuel 23:11-13 Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, I pray, tell...

That Jacob being chosen has nothing to do with salvation, Jacob was chosen to be the one who receives the blessing of the firstborn despite being the younger.

Doesn't this verse kinda shake up the calvinist theology a bit? These vessels are prepared unto glory but it says these people were called to be such vessels? Seems to me its still up in the air on if these people end up those vessels unto glory

Ordains and creates is pretty much the same. But the Lord's prayer is so that God's will MAY BE DONE ON EARTH as it is in heaven. So in heaven it is done, on earth not so much. Pick up a news paper

You wanna hear something truly terrifying? Look up the concept of "evanescent grace" Its a temporary grace God gives to someone, to trick them into believing they are true believers, only to find out later that oh whoops, it wasnt effectual grace, it was evanescent grace. All these...

Completely not true. You see God's will being violated all over the Bible. God wanted Israel to repent, they did not. God asked what more could He have done to His vineyard to get grapes, instead it grew wildgrapes? God wanted the Pharisees to be baptized of John, they rejected God's counsel for...

Probably so they can reject the Gospel and get even more punishment upon themselves in order to glorify God and his holiness. Its a sick system mate.

Source? Don't dare to quote Ephesians 1:11 because that "boule" has already been violated by man in Luke 7:30

I believe all of those verses. I just don't believe God chooses randomly. He gives grace to the humble but resists the proud

I know they knew how to pronounce it but I meant today. I accept Yehowah I have no issue with it. Where did Yahweh come from? Because that is one guess as to how to pronounce the YHWH that is in the manuscripts. But I looked up Yahweh on wikipedia and it aint pretty, according to wikipedia...

But how do you make that judgment call? Why is Paul "obviously" heavily guided by the Spirit, more than John or Mark? I see this as a slippery slope and I don't think you will be in the faith in a decade if you continue on this path. I hope you return!

I have no idea: I Do not use Yahweh or Jehovah or any of the other names. I just say Lord and God because nobody knows how to pronounce the YHWH in the original text.

Are you one of those who say baptism with the Matthew 28:19-20 formula is Wrong? That is the way the church has done it

So which parts of the Bible do you agree with? And how do you make that judgment call?

That is funny, I just wrote about shifting the goal posts as well hahaha. Didn't see this message until now, going in order. Yup, heres a good example of it. God so loved the world of the elect, God is not willing any of His elect should perish, God wants every elect person to come into the...

Gotta shift the goal posts. Whenever caught in an inconsistensy press the panic button and cry misrepresentation or that people "don't understand calvinism"

As I said: TULIP turns those verses meaningless. Re-read the post. Can't refute it. You have taken a dozen proof texts, bought in the TULIP system and then use that as a grid to re-interpret the hundreds if not thousands "turn to me" "repent" "come to me to have life" verses. And after all...

We won't You believe that the Bible teaches calvinism, WE DONT. We dont believe Paul or Isaiah taught it. Lets open up Isaiah: "Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though...

Oh I see. I figured you would say that since the answer is: Nobody preached it. Which means there is a 400+ year gap in preaching the Gospel. Quite a thing! But hey it was predestined that way for God's glory right?
