    Decline of Civilization?

    No, it's not. It's more like, "Don't make war with people who are in possession of superior religious interpretations in relation to yours."

    Decline of Civilization?

    the theory of God is so superficial, it is just a man made idea to help us compensate for our lack of understanding of human existant. People just need something to hold on to so they created a mythical figure to worship. God is just a figment of our imagination to make us feel better.

    Decline of Civilization?

    I saw a sign where the "b" had fallen off, so it read "Godless America." That was the greatest sign ever. Close reading of the Bible has determined that the Iraqi regime is closer to God and His will than is America. Please stop advocating a war against your betters.

    Hamartiology

    Typically Evangelicals today are "four point dispensationalists." They hold to Calvinism without limited atonement. This has been so far from what I've read and experienced. Because I go to an Evangelical church too. Perhaps you ought to check the defense I posted. All your questions...

    I don't believe He predestined man to sin either. I believe He stuck Satan in the garden and ordained that Satan would be the instrument to entice man's fallen nature to sin. Thus man is accountable on acting. It's all explained. Please read on.

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    Thank you for reading.  (My book should be out in Christian book stores after it has been thoroughly re-written two more times.  That'll take about 9 years; I mean this literally.  The author's last name will be Drotar if you would still be interested down the road) ...oh...

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    Article VI: Perseverance of the Saints When a person is regenerated, something amazing happens. He is given a new heart, a new mind, a new will. The apostle Paul says that we are a new creation. And so, a person who is a Christian and has truly tasted of the mercies of God, will not be...

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    Article V: Eternal Security The joy and peace we can have in our life rests in the one thing we can be assured of: His love endures forever. No matter how terrible we are, we can be certain that there is no sin that neglected to hammer in the nails. The only way, logically thinking we can...

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    Article IV: Imputed Justification So at what point are we actually “saved?” And how does some guy from 2,000 years ago help us out? How do I get viewed righteous from some other person’s death? All these are related to justification. The common cliche for justification is defining it as...

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    Article III: Irresistible Grace Irresistible grace is one of the most fundamental and least understood points in Calvinism. When I was studying the five points for the first time, this is the one I could not grasp as firmly as the others. I now comprehend that irresistible grace is the...

    (Continued from Article II) Scriptural Support “By His knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.” -Isaiah 53:11 “And she will bring forth a Son, and you will shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” -Matthew...

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    Article II: Limited Atonement There are those who call themselves “four point Calvinists”, accepting the doctrines of total depravity, unconditional election, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints (discussed later). For the sake of confusion I’ll confess to being a five point...

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    (Continued from Article I) Response to Objection 4: Biblically, and theologically, the scenario of a person coming to Christ outside of His election is impossible. A person who comes to know Christ and accepts Him as Savior for his sins, and who recognizes their sin, guilt, and need for...

    Soteriology- the doctrines of salvation

    Article I: Unconditional Election The very core, central point of Calvinism in my humble opinion, is unconditional election, or predestination. The doctrine of unconditional election needs to be taught within a context of total depravity. And flowing from the orthodox understanding of sin...
