Who says it is 'calvinistic verbiage'? (And what do you mean by such?) If I decided last year to ask a particular girl today to be my wife, does she still have to decide between giving me a 'yes' or 'no' answer?

Let grreeneiz reveal, whatever she wants to reveal, at her own pace. I just want her to be content with her church situation. Some things take time. I pray God will guide her wherever she may eventually visit.

Hello again, I took a look through the online yellow pages for churches in your area. I don't know exactly where you live (and I'm not asking) but I did see a Calvary Chapel on 460 West Century Dr., which, if I am not mistaken, isn't that far from the church you are currently attending...

Why don't you check the phone book to see if there is a Calvary Chapel in your area. It sounds like it might be the kind of thing you are looking for. I am by no means claiming it to be the best, but it might be right down your alley.

Hi there, Since you are married this is one of those things the two of you need to work out together. If everyone else in the family is fine there, then maybe you need to try something you haven't tried before. Like is there a women's bible study or prayer group that meets. You may be more...

Actually, I believe God does save the people He intends to save. As it says in Matthew 1:21, "He will save His people frim their sins."

I am sorry for your loss. May God help you through these difficult times. I wish I had words to share, but I have not been through what you are going through, but my wife almost has. Life is a stuggle. Don't give up the fight.

I thought the more appropriate question was concerning what man chooses. God seems to want man to make certain choices, and He is displeased when man makes the wrong choices.

But mine does "tell me" that some do choose to accept the invitation while others choose not to accept. I think you are hung up on certain hyperboles, and by misinterpreting these hyperboles you are coming to conclusions which are not biblically accurate.

Somehow, I don't think you have made the point you would like to think you have. But then again, Elvis still thinks I am alive.

Actually, I prefer the view which says that the man who offered the dinner chose for his guests, and instilled within them the notion that they either accepted or rejected the offer (which was in actuallity never a true offer). In other words, I like the pre-programmed robot explanation. ;)...

If you are going to limit your discussion to just these two verses, I do not believe you will ever get any real “closure”. As is common to many, and calvinists in particular, you seem to want to interpret this passage in isolation from the scripture around it. (Correct me on this if I am...

Starting? You've got to be kidding!

Hey CmRoddy, I know we all get passionate about what we believe, but this is not the time or the place to generalize your opponents as Roman Catholics. The issue of free-will vs. determinism is not a catholic vs. non-catholic issue. Even though I am not catholic, I would appreciate it if we...

Originally Posted by Eucharistic Adoration Obviously not, given these crystal clear passages I'll show you where you are wrong. You are wrong in thinking that it is wise and right to set scripture against scripture. Are the scriptures divided? Any house divided against itself will not...

Hello all, John 5:24 says (in English), “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has passed from death to life.” I am not sure where all this current thread has gone with respect to this verse, but I could take...

Hey Doveman and thefivesolas, I haven't been following along, but I would sure like to share some thoughts concerning John 5:24. I don't know it they will be along the lines of your discussion, but let me eat lunch and I will be back.

CmRoddy, who ever suggested that Jesus was a liar? I don’t think anyone here is suggesting that. I think any questions we have concern how to interpret what He said. This thread started with the question, “Is it possible for a truly converted and regenerated person lose his/her salvation?” I...

You've barely begun to respond, and you want to stop! That is up to you, but the verse you quote (Jer. 31:34) is not all there is. Ez. 18 also talks about the forgetting of sins, and the forgetting goes both ways. If a righteous man turns from his righteous ways, God forgets the righteousness...
