    Calling All Calvinist/Reformed Christians!

    How do Calvinists interpret texts like 2 Kings 20.1-6, Jeremiah 3.6-7, and 18.7-10 (just for a few examples) in light of their "classical" position regarding God's perfect and complete foreknowledge?

    Calvinist Doctrine: Biblically Warranted?

    How do Calvinists interpret texts like 2 Kings 20.1-6, Jeremiah 3.6-7, and 18.7-10 (just for a few examples) in light of their "classical" position regarding God's perfect and complete foreknowledge?

    Saddened by the Passing of John Stott

    I am greatly saddened to have just learned that one of the true giants of evangelical Christianity has died today. John Stott passed away today at approx. 3:15 AM (London time) at the ripe old age of 90, surrounded by friends and family while listening to Handel's Messiah. (Surely not a bad way...

    There is NO Repentance on the Part of the Prodigal Son

    A Bible study group I recently attended have been going through the Gospel of Luke and, most recently, came to chapter 15. When we got to v. 17, the study leader explained that it was at this point, with the words "when he came to himself," that the younger son (the prodigal one) repented. I've...

    There is NO rapture!!! No pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib! Nothing! The Bible does not teach a rapture of any kind!

    Happy Independence Day, America!!

    This proud Canadian is very appreciative of the fact that we would not be enjoying the quality of life we are if we didn't have the U.S.A. as our closest friend and neighbour.

    Hecklers Cause Ann Coulter to Stop Her Lecture at UConn

    My apologies to the powers that be. I honestly didn't know that debating wasn't allowed on the "News and Current Events" boards. I guess this is where this reply properly belongs. Right. Liberals do it too, and there are movie stars who say hateful things. Then why do liberals allow...

    Does 'Open' Theism Deny God's Other Attributes?

    People see this as being biblical only because the relevant Bible texts have been read through Greek philosophical lenses. 'Appear to say God changes'?!? How do they merely appear to say changes? They rather state it quite categorically. The only reason why you (and admittedly many others) feel...

    I'm very new to all this!

    I'm not only new to this website, I'm pretty new to the internet, period! An awful lot of this is quite alien and thus confusing to me. I guess what I'm trying to communicate is that, when it comes right down to it, for the most part I am what could be called 'computer illiterate'. Please be...
