    And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose; these are already-saved, eternally-secure people. For whom he knew previously – saints of the past he also (not just us, but “also” them) did predestinate to...

    "Except the Father Draw Him"

    This is a pretty sound, biblical (not calvinistic) talk on the subject: "Except the Father Draw Him" (Regeneration, Calvinism, Reprobate Doctrine) by Steven L Anderson. 1 hour, 2 minute video. If you've been vexed with the errors of calvinism, this may be quite refreshing and helpful to you.

    an interpretation of Romans 8:29, 30

    29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified...

    Could slavery be a solution to overcrowded prisons?

    Could slavery be a solution to overcrowded prisons? I'm not talking about enslaving people based on their skin color; I'm talking about enslaving criminals. Put them to work (think chain gangs). No more free room & board at the Crossbar Motel. Their "jubilee" would be available when they've...

    abortion OK if mother's life is at stake?

    I am against legalized abortion in the U.S., but I have a question: If abortion is banned except in the case of the mother's life being at stake, what's to stop women who want an abortion for convenience to falsely claim their life is at stake? How can a claim of the 'mother's life being at...

    Bibles for other countries/languages

    Do you know of ministries that print & distribute Bibles to countries that typically don't have Bibles in their own language? For years I've been donating money for Bibles to a ministry that was supposedly distributing them in southern Asia; but this ministry lost its ECFA standing last October...

    Confessing with the mouth "results" in salvation? (Romans 10:10)

    Does Romans 10:10 teach that confessing with the mouth "results" in salvation? I don't think it does. The NAS renders it: ... for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation But in my interlinear there are only 10 Greek...

    Do Hebrews 3:6 and/or 3:14 prove the P of TULIP?

    Do Hebrews 3:6 and/or 3:14 prove the P of TULIP? Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence...

    a person who's never heard of Jesus

    It seems to me that a person who's never heard of Jesus or seen a Bible has enough revelation to say (from his heart of course), "God be merciful to me a sinner" and thusly be justified. (Luke 18:9-14)

    sheep

    This one only works when spoken: If you had twenty sick sheep and one died how many would be left? Most people will answer "twenty-five". :)

    Colossians 1:23

    Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Had the saving gospel literally been preached to all...

    salvation in the great tribulation question(s)

    I address those who hold to premil/pretrib as do I: If a person becomes saved (and eternally secure) during the great tribulation, he must not take the mark of the beast. If he “abstains” from taking the mark in order to escape being tormented in fire & brimstone forever, would...
