    The Foreknowledge of God

    saying that things appear to change to humans is one thing... we are finite.... saying that changes surprise God, that He didn't know certain things were going to happen before they did, is completely different. Maybe something will come to pass that God didn't see coming, which will make your...

    The Foreknowledge of God

    all communication of any kind is based on logical assumptions.... even yours :) serving two masters is in the context of a discussion to believers, the Lord's Prayer, instruction on fasting etc... in any case sanctification and justification and their relationship to man's willing and doing...

    please pray for me

    young@heart.... as hard as it may be to hear, I think that TropicalWilds has given you the best advice of all. This isn't about you so much as it is about him. His actions showed his heart. After reading the thread and then seeing you guys weren't reconciled, in all honesty, all I could say was...

    No Longer A Calvinist

    I am sure God's wrath abided on Saul prior to his conversion... standing by and participation in the murder of God's people probably wasn't just overlooked... and yes he was an enemy, Paul himself says so, as Jesus tells him he has been persecuting none other than the Lord Himself.... Christ has...

    No Longer A Calvinist

    FOR WHO DID CHRIST DIE? John Owen The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either: All the sins of all men. All the sins of some men, or Some of the sins of all men. In which case it may be said: That if the last be true, all men have some sins...

    Regeneration, justification, ordo salutis

    it seems to be more of a logical order than a temporal one... when God monergistically regenerates the person is already saved, they WILL exercise faith, they WILL be saved. God knows this, He has made sure of it by removing the heart of stone and replacing it with a heart of flesh, by taking...

    Word-of-Faith versus God is the One in Control

    "According to the doctrine of Predestination the freedom and responsibility of man are fully preserved. In the midst of certainty God has ordained human liberty. But Fatalism allows no power of choice, no self-determination. It makes the acts of man to be as utterly beyond his control as are the...

    why have children if there is a chance they will end up not being one of the elect?

    excellent points skala... Reformed views on election at least guarantee that some will be saved. Arminianism's hypothetical universalism doesn't and either way, there is no way one could, from a human parent's perspective, know if your child will be among the saved or not, whether you are...

    Reformed Baptist in the Cross Hairs

    as a fellow Reformed Baptist, I feel your pain... I've got no real advice... unless it might be to seek out conservative Presbyterian churches, if there are any in your area... eg the OPC or something along those lines, though their worship style will obviously be different (regulative...

    how do you tell the people about the gospel?

    here the Calvinist theologian Cotton Mather asks the question: What Must I Do To Be Saved? He answers: "I. And what Better, what other Answer can be given, (Other Foundation can no man Lay!) to this Question, but what the Apostles of God gave to it of old? When the poor man said what must...
