    Writing a book on free will salvation

    Good day, FAH Figured I would help you to round out some reformed view of Free-will, so that you could accurately include them in your Book. "If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ...

    John 6, Matt 16 and Deut 8:3 -- bread is a symbol for literal "teaching"

    Good day, The this in verse 666 is what was said in verse 65. Really nothing to do with the bread discourse at all. That would be the erroneous understanding of John 6, asserted the Roman Catholic denomination. Joh 6:65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless...

    He Who is of the Truth Hears Mine Voice

    Good day, Dima Jn 8:42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and...

    Reconciled to God while enemies !

    Thanks... Just think that Mounce does a fine job with the text. Premiere Greek NT Scholar DA Carson notes: https://trinitypastor.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/d-a-carson-philippians-1/ Snip... What a remarkable notion! Paul does not say that these Christians have been called to suffer as well as...

    Reconciled to God while enemies !

    Good day, Doug If God wanted all to repent then he would have granted it to all: 2 Timothy 2:25, Paul says that we must gently instruct those who oppose us in the hope that “God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.” John 6:44 is the father drawing to overcome...

    Reconciled to God while enemies !

    Good day, Sets77 You would agree that in order to be save you need faith correct? People with out faith are not saved and God is not pleased by them? In Him, Bill

    Reconciled to God while enemies !

    Good day, Doug Lots to cover here... 1Jn 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. He did propitiate for the sins of the whole world... just not every person but every sin contained in the whole world. John 3:16 -whosoever...

    Reconciled to God while enemies !

    Good day, Setst777 We agree on the consistent use of the pronouns in Eph1. Does one need Faith to be saved? Can one be in Christ with out Faith? Yes God does grant faith to both Jews and Gentiles not for our sake but for Christs sake. If it is not granted you do not have faith. Phl 1:29 For...

    Reconciled to God while enemies !

    Good day, Zoidar I do not believe the text tells us how... again it is that (time) element. In my experience ( time bound) Col1:12, 13 God qualified me to share in an inheritance and transferred me for the domain of Darkness, in to the kingdom of His Son. Not sure that answers the question...

    Reconciled to God while enemies !

    Good day, Sets Ehp 1:1- 16 is one big long "sentence" and the pronouns remain consistent. The ones who were chosen in Christ are the same ones who are adopted, granted Faith, redeemed, and regenerated are the saints agreed. Only those in Christ have these Blessings: Blessed be the God and...

    Augustine: Augustine (354-430): Of such says the apostle, “We know that to those that love God He worketh together all things for good, to them who are called according to His purpose; because those whom He before foreknew, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that...
