    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    yup. God knew Adam and Eve would sin ... He was not surprised when they sinned and He did not have to come up with a "plan" after the fact. The plan was laid in place from before the foundation of the world. 1 Peter 1:18-20 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible...

    do not agree men killed Jesus ... although there are lots of folks who believe man could kill Him. Matthew 26:47-54 47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he...

    Acts 2:22-23 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have...

    After Adam and Eve sinned, God said they know both good and evil. Under scenarios provided in this thread, it appears some believe man can only know evil ... never the good God said man was capable of knowing. The Word of God is life. The Word of God is life-giving. The gospel of Christ is...

    Do you know chapter/verse where it was said to Rebekah before they were born "the elder shall serve the younger"? Do you know chapter/verse where it is written "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated"? And I'm not referring to the verses in Romans 9 ... I'm referring to the verse in the OT...

    Agree Eve came from Adam. Do not agree "God didn't approach Eve to ask her what is this you have done" ... Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? totally agree "the serpent knew he couldn't deceive Adam, so he went after the weaker vessel and...

    interesting that you conclude only Adam "was at war with God" because "the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God" Genesis 3:6, And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit...

    The book of Job

    reneweddaybyday said: If your opinion of Job is unbiased, then why do you not accept what God said about Job before Job underwent the tremendous suffering at the hand of satan? just because God allowed what occurred in Job's life, does that excuse what satan did to Job's family and holdings...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    right ... I did point out that "God has graciously included believers as joint-heirs with Christ" ... however, my understanding is the Lord Jesus Christ is the heir of the promises and we are joint-heirs with Him. And this is just another example of God's over-abounding grace. okey-dokey ...

    The book of Job

    If your opinion of Job is unbiased, then why do you not accept what God said about Job before Job underwent the tremendous suffering at the hand of satan? God tells you three times that Job was a believer who was upright, reverenced God, and eschewed evil ... Job 1:1, Job 1:8, Job 2:3 ... and...

    The book of Job

    I did not avoid answering anything. That you do not like the answers I provided does not equal me avoiding answering anything. The "answer should have been God"? ... really??? Job 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. Job said this in response to...

    The book of Job

    In Job 9:1, Job replied directly to Bildad ... Job said "I know it is so of a truth". What was Job referring to when he said "I know it is so of a truth"??? ... this is, at the very least, the third time I've asked you this question. Job was talking to Bildad about issues I have already gone...

    yes ... however, Galatians is also clear that the promises made to Abraham were specifically for Abraham's "Seed" (singular) ... and the Seed God had in view is the Lord Jesus Christ ... "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one...

    The book of Job

    :rolleyes: agree Job was responding to Bildad. do not agree Job was "contending and reproving God". has it ever crossed your mind that Job was "contending and reproving" Bildad ... since Job was responding directly to Bildad??? In verse 2 where Job said "I know it is so of a truth" what did...

    Jeremiah

    totally agree, Suze. I love the verse in Ephesians 4 which tells us "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive". If we don't know what God's Word...

    right ... the word "hate" in Luke 14:26 is translated from the Greek word miseō. According to HELPS Word-studies, miseō means to "detest (on a comparative basis); hence, denounce; to love someone or something less than someone (something) else, i.e. to renounce one choice in favor of another"...

    The promises God made to Abraham primarily and ultimately relate to the Lord Jesus Christ. That other believers benefit from God's promises to Abraham point to God's grace, mercy, lovingkindness. also, fyi ... I'm not a fan of replacement theology and I'm not going to argue with you about it...
