Yes, but scripture goes on to say that He chose us according to His foreknowledge. So...predestination vs. foreknowledge? I believe He chose us...according to His foreknowledge.

I find this passage to be quite simple, honestly.  First of all, in proper context, Christ was speaking with the Pharisees, the Jewish leaders.  Second of all, you can bet your bottom dollar that if someone could commit the "unpardonable sin" which would permanently exclude them from...

What in heaven's name is this all about?

I hold a premillennial, pretribulationist view...for many reasons.  However, this topic, in my eyes, is one of those topics that fall in the "be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger" topic.  The way I look at it is this.  No matter which view you take, only God knows...

Hello Matthew: Forgive me...  I thought we were disagreeing.  Turns out we were completely agreeing.  Sometimes, words over the computer just aren't clear enough.  Anyway...have a great Christmas!!!

Hello Matthew: I hope you have having a good day in the Lord. I would like to state that yet again I disagree. I have read some of the wackiest commentaries that have been extremely far off. I do not necessarily believe that "scholars" are better skilled to comment. Further, many of the...

I would like to agree with everything that Gracie said.  Further, I strongly disagree that one must KNOW Hebrew, Aramic, and Greek in order to properly be able to interpret what scripture means.  This, as I see it, takes the Word out of the hands of the common man and places it into...

Hello Psalm 22.3 The sad part about this is that you have come into this with a thought in your head that you will NEVER believe otherwise. There are many things that I USED to believe, but once confronted with truth, discovered that I was wrong. Nevertheless, may God bless you. I am...

P.S. I just want to add that GRACE is an "unmerited FREE gift" It wouldn't be GRACE if it wasn't free. Your view is based on what WE do, which is works driven, and is contrary to the Word of God. P.P.S. I am a girl :) Just thought we should get that clear. ;)

Salvation is BELIEVING in Jesus Christ. Salvation is trusting or believing in, by faith, that Jesus Christ paid for your sins with His blood on the cross of Calvary. "He that BELIEVETH on the Son hath everlasting life:. . ." John 3:36 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only...

I cannot believe that thread, and way of thinking, actually exists. It literally makes me ill. SO WHAT, we celebrate the birth of Christ and now we are pagans who submit to gluttony, greed, etc. A little word of advice; DON'T presume to know my heart!! You know what...I REFUSE to even have...

I think it is one of THE best "self help" books I have ever read. While it is true, it is not MEANT to be a witnessing tool, it is a book that talks about different ways of showing love. Here in Florida, that book is extremely popular, and is heavily promoted in several churches as a book to...

Well, I have never been healed but I have a cool story. My girlfriends 11 year old daughter had a terrible headache that lasted the weekend. They took her to the hospital, and they found something wrong. They sent her to Joe DiMaggio's Children's Hospital in Miami, where a top neurologist...

Did you know that when King James decided to commission the writing of the KJ version, the ONLY, and I mean ONLY qualification for the 45 people on the comittee was that they have good general knowledge of the Word. They were not scholarly men, with scholarly equipment, nor did they necessarily...

Ditto to everything Tris said above!!!

This is one of the most UNSCRIPTURAL posts... First, how narrow-minded to say "I don't believe in once saved always saved and I never will" I pray that when you are confronted with truth, and scripture, you would open up your heart to hear the Lord. I won't even attempt to show you...

Camero: I say the following to you in nothing but brotherly/sisterly love. It is not the Word of God that is legalistic bondage, but your mis-use and application of the Word. You are stuck in Law, thus legalistic... Galations 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand...

This thread makes me very sad...

When you study Covenants (and I pray that you do), you will understand why your question above is talking about two different covenants. The New Covenant, which we are under now, was for the CHURCH, Jew and Gentile, receiving redemption through Christ the Savior. It is the promise spoken of...

This clearly has come down to a matter of perspective. You see it from a verse to verse perspective. I see it from a Genesis to Revelation perspective. Not by one verse at a time, but a conglomeration of verses, all illuminating each other. You see apparent contradictions, and that is fine...
