    Does God Try His Best to Save Everyone?

    This has to be one of the most arrogant responses ever. Keep up? You swear? Man, you sure do have a high opinion of yourself!

    Does God Try His Best to Save Everyone?

    I have not said that all people without exception will be saved. Only that God's desire is that all people be saved. There is a difference between God's permissive will and his determined will. God does love the world. He sent his Son to die for "for the sins of the whole world" (1 John...

    Does God Try His Best to Save Everyone?

    I can accept that. However, that doesn't change the fact that God desires all people to be saved. Again, 1 Timothy 2:4, John 3:16, etc. "what God gets to do with His 'clay'" wow! God has certainly determined many things to be, and one of those things is that he has determined that whoever...

    Does God Try His Best to Save Everyone?

    What was it that Christ did on behalf of mankind? First, he fulfilled the requirements of the Law, something we could not do (Matthew 5:17; Acts 15:10). Second, he died on the cross for our sins "that we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:8). He also rose...

    Does God Try His Best to Save Everyone?

    1 Tim doesn't say what you (nor I) imagine, but rather it says what it says. The problem that reformed theology has with this verse is that it is counter-productive to its talking points. The same thing is done with 2 Peter 3:9, where it is said that the Lord, "is not wishing that any should...

    I married the wrong person. Is this God's will?

    God's Princess, I would encourage to look into God's word for counsel. 1 Corinthians 7:13-16 says, "If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving...

    Does God Try His Best to Save Everyone?

    Wow, I just got caught up on reading through this thread. I am going to give a response to the original post as if I hadn’t read every other post. Apparently, this thread was intended to set up a bombardment of Calvinistic/reformed theology rhetoric. Before I give my response to that, I will...

    The guy I like isn't Christian...

    Good advice from YesMe. It sounds like you already know what to do though. And going with wht you know will do you better than going with how you feel.

    Who would you meet?

    I guess I would go with Peter. Soooo many questions for Peter! How did it feel to walk on water? What was on your mind at the mount of transfiguration? Tell me about that time when you were delivered by the angel from prison. How did you feel in the empty tomb? So many questions...

    Australian Ben&Jerry's Ban 'Same-Flavor Scoops'

    I support Ben and Jerry's right to run their business however they want. It's their business. I also support an individuals right to not buy their product. It's how a free market should work. Who's up for some Blue Bell?

    What are the important things to learn as a Christian?

    I don't care what people say about me. I care about people knowing the truth. If someone is teaching something that is contrary to Scripture, should I just clap my hands and say "Praise the Lord?" Or should I attempt to persuade them of truth. Now, I am never going to force my beliefs on...

    What are the important things to learn as a Christian?

    The only thing that will show we are a real child of God is whether or not we have believed (trusted) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Any good works that come out of that is only a response to his grace. I understand that there are many denominations that interpret the...

    What are the important things to learn as a Christian?

    You are free to believe what you want. But I will say, again, that you asked for an example and I gave you one. And you did not even try to refute it. Instead you moved the parameters of your argument. You also said you don't even believe in the Book of Mormon and now, in this response, you...

    Can't be saved, without hope

    May I ask if this is brought on because of your marriage? Is it failing?

    What are the important things to learn as a Christian?

    I object to the notion that Mormons are Christians because they deny basic Christian doctrine: the deity of Christ, the Trinity, salvation by faith in Christ alone, etc. My point about Muslims is that even if some are morally good citizens, it doesn't mean they are Christians, so the same...

    Father in Heaven, We lift up Danny to you and ask that you bring him to his senses, and that you cause him to pull over. We pray that you will keep him safe, and that you will keep others safe as well. Most importantly, Father, we pray for his salvation. That you will open his mind and heart...
