My brother-in-law has spinal meningitis. This is a possibly fatal infection. Please pray that God will heal him. Also, pray for his family that they would have peace during this time.

"Yes, man is born into a world full of sin, we are not perfect so we are all sinners -- we all become sinners when we knowingly go against God's law. Does a baby do this?"I am sorry but this is heresy.

In this passage, God is speaking with his choosen people, the Israelites. It is speaking about the promised land. How does this passage in Numbers relate to the church today? If it does relate, then it should be thought in this light... The children of the CHURCH (meaning children of...

A, God commands that we preach the word, but that doesn't mean that God is limited to saving individuals through us. We are commanded to preach, and we should. It is just how God wants it. It's not so much, "How can God save someone with out your/my help?", as much as it is, "How can God NOT...

...but you claim ALL are justifed. You contradict yourself.

So even if I refused your cake, I would still be justified?

So, effectually, justication does diddly squat?

God can bring anyone whom he wills to salvation. Nothing is impossible for Him. This is not regarding salvation, which this entire thread is about. Of course we are responsible for giving to the needy because we are physically able to do so. However, salvation is in God's hands. Without God, no...

puriteen18, PDI is now called sovereign grace ministries and can be visited at http://www.sovereigngraceministries.org. I go to a church that is a part of that family of churches. Their music is much better than the normal CCM that you would find in most churches. One song of theirs that is...

Ben, Do you believe that justification came to ALL men? ALL meaning every single individual. If so, then how can some people go to hell? Can a justified person go to hell?

I am not arguing with Paul's words I am agruing with your interpretation of his words. When it says Christ is the savior of all men it does not mean that Christ saves all men. It can't mean that because we know that not all are saved. Many are called few are choosen. Yet it does say that Christ...

Your definition of saved must be defined by your own dictionary. God can only be a savior to those whome he actually saves. It's like saying a lifegauard is the savior of all the people drowning in the pool, especially those whom he actually pulls out of the water. Obviously he isn't the savior...

 Ragman, you said Christ is the Savior of all men, especially those that believe. Let's take a look at this verse and see what it means first before we use it to back up our position... 1Ti.4:10For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who...

You have asked a very good question. First, God has His people whom He elected. This is clear in the Bible I and assume that that is already accepted as truth.1Pe 2:9 But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for <I>God's</I> own possession, that ye may show forth...

I don't agree on your basis for why God chooses people. If God chooses people because they first choose Him then he didn't really choose them at all. In fact, He then just recognizes or acknowledges their choice of Him and in a sense doesn't have a choice in who comes to Him. If there was a...

Jesaiah, very well put. I couldn't agree any more. God Bless

So man must maintain salvation. In this case the assurance of salvation depends on man's ability to stay in Christ. This is a works based maitinence program. Clearly we are saved by grace alone, not works, in order that there is no boasting. If we are saved and have to make sure we maintain a...

Disciple2003, Here are some verses that I feel support OSAS. Jerimiah 32:40 - And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. John 6:37 - All that the...

Who are we to question God? Can the clay say to the potter, "Why have you made me like this?" God does with us as he pleases. Read Romans 9. Although we don't understand it, some people were made for the sole purpose of being used for destruction and God's wrath. Yet, they are still responsible...

Well, the verse I gave (Romans 8:30)&nbsp;relates to the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ in the new testement, not the OT plan of salvation through the obedience to the law. Romans 11:7-8 What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others...
