General theology on a Christian site and this question is posted on it and it was not denied or taken down! No Christian would ask such a foolish question.

The Holy Spirit will convict the world of sin, righteousness and redemption. Just like when Nathan told David about the one who stole the one sheep and then killed theman to have his wife, David realized that he had sinned and confessed it and Nathan told him, God had forgave him. That is what...

This is why I stated what I did in my last one; You said: I do not agree that the Holy Spirit "produces the faith in us". The Bible says that man believes from the heart. Not from the Holy Spirit. Rom 10:9-10 This left the impression if the Holy Spirit is not the one that is illuminating the...

So then you believe that you can do something without Jesus when He said you can do nothing without Me, John 15:5. Phil 2:13 for it is God working in you to will and to do of His good pleasure, this not only is in the believers life but is also the power of God calling one to repent and believe...

By agreeing with the other post are you both not saying that you believe that a Christian can be indwelt by a demon? Where is that taught in scripture?

Correct. I'm looking forward to seeing the context for why you believe I got "#7" wrong. I do agree with the rest that you say in this post and I was only saying now that I re-read what you say here, the wording was what I disagreed with in #7 above. Sorry about that. Post #58 the one I...

Except for #7 you did a good job. Rom 8:29_30 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn...

You seem not to see the reality of irresistible grace. So, answer this question only, is it true that only the elect who were predestined before the foundation are the recipients of irresistible grace according to a Calvinist?

So you say:scratch: Were they not predestined for hell before they were born not being one of the your elected ones? How could they having been born of escaped hell by not being one of the elect before they were born? Your view does not stand when applied to only those elected by...

A lot of reasoning to come to the same point, one believes that they were saved in this life because had God not elect them by name and made them believe(willing to ease the pain of realty) instead of their believing His words in the scripture and confessing Him as Lord. Or else one believes...

Not necessarily, God's choice of election, to as many as receive Him, to them gave He the power to become the children of God. You already have them as His children, and then He would have said, to them He had chose to believe, believed and showed they were already His chosen ones. You still...

To the Deacon; You said; Lets go back a few generations before Rahab and Ruth and see what God said. Long before Israel went into slavery, God told/promised Abraham: "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:" -Gen. 12:3 (KJV) What did Rahab do? And of course...

What about Rahab and Ruth and the others who were God fearers. We know they were used in the line of Jesus. Your statrments that speak of all may come then are followed except they are the elect will bot come. I see election as those who receive Him are the elect and they are not called by...

You say "Not so. What ultimately dooms them is rejection of the Gospel". So you don't believe in irresistible grace? Nor limited atonement as Calvinist view it?

So I will ask you a question about your Calvinism beliefs, since unconditional election of persons specifically and irresistible grace toward the elect as it taught in the tulip, why does God say that He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that they repent? Why does He say look to...

He is Spirit, not a Spirit, He is always in the present there is no past present future because He knows all things. He spoke all things into existence out of nothing in the 6 days of creation, that being said, once He spoke that something would come into existence would not mean that it does...

We are not grafted into Israel(Jacob) but into the true vine who is Jesus. Joseph's sons became 1/2 tribe each and took Joseph's place. Now by the same faith like Abraham we are children of promise like Israel. A good vine produces good fruit, we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus...

There is another point that we all have to keep in mind and that is suffering in conflict or whatever the situation is not to be though of as something unusual, Paul had a lot of that, Phil 1:29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer...

But you are not a wicked one, run run run all u want :tutu:
