Here is one distinctuion between Calvinism and Arminianism Duckduckgo AI - Calvinism (often): God predestines individuals (the “elect”)—and Christ’s saving work is applied to them ina way that ensures salvation. Arminianism (often): God predestines in view of foreknowledge—commonly phrased as...

Friend, if you do not include “Jesus loves you" in your gospel, you are not preaching the real Jesus. If you present a Jesus who is angry at the dirty rotten sinner you see in the doorway, it is no surprise they do not want to know Him or you.

Gen 4:15 וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יְהוָה לָכֵן כָּל־הֹרֵג קַיִן שִׁבְעָתַיִם יֻקָּם וַיָּשֶׂם יְהוָה לְקַיִן אוֹת לְבִלְתִּי הַכּוֹת־אֹתוֹ כָּל־מֹצְאוֹ׃ And said (waw-Qal imperfective וַיֹּאמֶר) to him (לוֹ) Yahweh (יְהוָה) therefore (לָכֵן) anyone slaying (Qal participle active כָּל־הֹרֵג) Cain (קַיִן)...

It is possible to wish you were dead, but not to be willing to commit suicide. Job is an example of that kind of torment. No, God is not a hypocrite. Before the Mosaic law men’s sins were not credited to them by God. If they were not credited, then God was not punishing anyone. However, free...

My understanding of scripture is that during the millennium it will be the same earth as we have now, but the saints and Christ will supervise the nations during a process of the planet’s repair/restoration/rehabilitation. And after the 1000 years, the universe will be reduced to atoms, or...

God did not make satan into an evil angel. Satan and other angels were good when they were put on earth to serve human beings, whom God appointed to be the rulers over the earth. Satan chose to rebel against God by deceiving man into believing his lies and disbelieving God’s warning. In...

Jhn 3:8 The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from, and where it is going to: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. The wind is invisible but we experience its presence by what it is doing. I recognise those who are walking in the Holy...

If Cain was unable to be killed, why did God say "But the LORD said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. I suspect the mark was something that indicated to everyone that Cain...

Grace and peace, Dave.

Will the new heaven and earth be remade or newly born? God replaces one heaven and earth with another, but this could equally be described as God restoring the world to it’s original perfection. My assertion was that the spirit we have before regeneration is imperfect and therefore...

I did not say Jesus’ Spirit needed to be remade. I said that the believer’s spirit is remade in the image of Jesus’ Spirit. "But as I said, for the born again believer, from my perspective, walking in spirit, and walking in the Holy Spirit, are the same thing, since his own spirit is pure, holy...

Gal.5:5 ἡμεῖς (we) γὰρ (for) πνεύματι (by means of spirit) ἐκ πίστεως (out of faith) ἐλπίδα (hope) δικαιοσύνης (of righteousness) ἀπεκδεχόμεθα (we are waiting for) For in spirit we are waiting out of faith for a hope of righteousness/a righteous hope. “We” are born again believers who have a...

Somehow I replied to the wrong post. Sorry, brother.

If you cannot see any alternative to Calvinism and Arminianism, you are a blind man attempting to lead both the blind and the sighted. No one with nay spiritual sense would follow your teaching here.

The The synergist does not credit himself with anything. God credits the synergist’s faith to the synergist as righteousness. Rom 4:5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. Gen 15:6 Abram believed the LORD, and...

The Hebrew text does not say "I was sinful when my mother conceived me.” you are looking for translations that sound like they agree with you. You are not going to the source text. הֵן־בְּעָווֹן חוֹלָלְתִּי וּבְחֵטְא יֶחֱמַתְנִי אִמִּי׃ Behold (הֵן), I was shapen (חוֹלָלְתִּי) in iniquity...

The Bible says that the saints and God synergise. I don’t see the word monergise in scripture. Monergism seems to be a man-made concept, not a biblical one. Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with (συνήργει) his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 2 Cor 6:1 We then, as workers...

PaulThomson said: Traditions within Christendom are not necessarily true representations of reality. Why assume babies are born morally corrupt? The Bible says nowhere that we are born dead in trespasses and sins. In fact, it says that Jacob and Esau in the womb had done nothing good or evil...

36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die...

I am not arguing with God. I am disagreeing with your opinion on what the Greek and Hebrew texts God authored mean. Adam did eventually die physically. He did not immediately die either physically or spiritually. God told Adam, “In the day you eat of it, to die (infinitive absolute, מוֹת )...
