Regarding 1 Timothy 2:1-4 "desires all men to be saved": Dont you think that saying" God desires all men to be saved" and "God will do what he can to bring that about" is a pretty big jump. At face value, the text does not say that God will do what he can to save everyone. In fact, there is no...

Any scripture to back that up innerphyre?

I believe that Paul and the rest of the biblical authors agreed that a Christian cannot totally cease from sinning.As Paul wrote in Galatians 5:17, "The flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do...

If I am being perfectly honest, I don't see how anyone could say that we could no longer sin after reading the demands of scripture. Do all to the glory of God? Take every thought captive to Christ? Who can honestly say that we can do that? To say that we can no longer sin is to say that we can...

Ill told a buddy of mine that I wanted to go see it, and he laughed and me cause he said I wanted to see a "chick flic". But this is in no way a chick flick. It is a romantic comedy which most of those are chick flicks, but I would not classify this movie as one. Still days after I have seen...

A good, definite example of scripture using "all" but not necessarily meaning all men is Romans 3:23. The verse says: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Now, granted all of mankind did fall short, but that verse, the word "all" is not talking about every man. We see this...

Yeah, I completely agree with what you are saying about "selling the gospel." I hate that ****. I guess another part of the problem is that Christians have made the world "arminian". Many non-Christians think alot of the times "Well if God loves me so much then why would he send me to hell?" Ya...

Thank you much for the prayers. Greatly appreciated

Just to confuse things a little more. 1 Timothy 1 say that the law is not for the righteous but the unrighteous... Alot of Ray Comforts ministries are based on this verse. He uses the law (the ten commandments) to show non-christians their sin. For example.... Ray Comfort: Do you think...

Yes I completely agree. Not so much in the beginning for me, I guess because I wasnt engaged. But at the end I was definately....tearful :cry: Beautiful Movie!

I recently watched the movie "Love Actually." Just this week. Let me just say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Yes yes, i know its rated r for nudity and language, but this movie was beautiful. Hopefully this post can be for some people that have already seen the movie...

are you asking me or are you making a point? Didnt get this. R.C. Sproul explains it pretty well in his book Chosen by God. Another great book! Basically you have justice, which is what God is to the non-elect. And then you have an nonjustice which could either be mercy or injustice. If...

Its no doubt, evangelism is sometimes hard. If you are like me, being raised under arminians, it is even harder to rely an accurate message of Jesus Christ because I was taught to say things like, "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." And things like that which I dont...

My name is Ryan. And one day soon I will be a Marine. Ship out date: October 25th

Here are some things to consider when thinking about all this... First, you have to make a distinction between what God decrees and what God desires. We say the phrase "God's Will" and assume that its all the same, but in reality it could mean a number of different things. God and His will is...

Yes....I am a calvinist. I am because as Christians, "we are required to teach, preach, and to love whatever the Bible says is true, not what we want the Bible to say is true." I think sometimes we read Bible verses as we would a fortune cookie. Not even looking...

Tampa....yeah yeah.

I'm a new guy. Glad to be here. My name is Miller Time because it is my last name and my favorite beer.
