    Predestination, and prayers for the (elect) dead

    I would think the prayer would be useless for the dead since scripture is explicit in its teaching that "it is appointed once unto man to die, then the judgment". I could be wrong on this one but who knows. I am like Ska, if I needed prayers after death, Christ death was useless, in vain, and...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    Nothing, it is called diversion from the truth and further proof of scales and blindness that even the Pharisees had that they couldn't see God's glory before them. Pride, it destroyed Adam & caused the fall, and continues to this day to lead astray those who appear saved but in the end fade...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    61 pages and you still don't get it, Janx. You don't get it because you're blind and refuse to the truth! Turn me in, I only have two days left here anyway. Stop trying to distort the truth and listen to it, it's there in 61 pages, but your agenda has been noted

    The Gospel according to any synergist, ever.

    True love is leaving the sinner where he wants to be, left to his sins which he dwells in happily, even knowing he will not have eternal life in heaven. The difference between Adam & Eve's will compared to ours is that they were created perfectly where as we are not. The freedom of the will we...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    How could they have faith? They were in the womb, before either could do anything one was chosen for the promise and the other wasn't. In the womb they were chosen without any consent to their will. Did you have faith in the womb?

    Because I don't post as you and you continually correct my grammer in post and continually tell me to do something is flaming and goading me. Why do you continue to do this? You attempt to embarrass me by my grammer and not posting to your liking, this is goading, flaming, and calling one out...

    How is what I said reportable? But I will do you one better! Report me since the only way you can get your message across is to ban all who disagree with you! If you feel that is the Christian thing to do, then report me brother, I have not one single thing to lose being banned from...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    Better yet, sitting around searching for examples on the internet to try to bring down a system is rather sad in and of itself, no? Other than the forum, I have never searched the net looking to see how others deliver the gospel, that is a true sign of a haughty and proud spirit in order to say...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    How did one exclude himself while in the womb when he could not yet make a choice? If one was chosen by God while in the womb without having a choice, then did not God "not" choose the other without considering his "will" as well? Be consistent brother!

    I write the way I write, why do you flame me on this? Every thread, you flame and goad me with such statements that I am inferior because to you because I don't write as you do. Sure, you didn't say those words but you implied them! Must you flame and goad me in every thread because I don't...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    And this is why we Calvinist preach the Gospel of Christ to all men, because we don't know what only God can know, but we can after receiving Christ know their fruits and that they are of His flock. That is scriptural in mine and your points.

    why would it be a shock when many are led to believe in God's sovereignty and His choosing people to salvation without coercion?

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    I never said I held to the Arminian view of foreknowledge, I said whether Chosen by God or by what God saw in them (which is what you believe, the later part) I don't. Yes, I believe in complete unconditional election as stated under TULIP. But Christ said I am to spread the gospel that He...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    It is one of the largest problems in the American church and it is why Calvinism is on the rise in America. I continue to attend an Arminian dominated church in the SBC. All the pastor cares about is baptism numbers and church membership, along with many of the deacons. Once folks join and...

    The Gospel according to John Piper

    Of course I subscribe to them, I have since I learned what they were because at the age of 10 I saw that to be true in scripture. I have already stated I am a 5 Point Tulip, did you miss that? I also said I did not know what Calvinism was until a late age. I was still in the Wesley/Arminian...
