Hi Justin Winsor It's true we don't hop on the potters wheel however we are formed according to our choices. Jer 18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Jer 18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Jer 18:3 Then I went...

Hi Brother in Christ; Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. There simply is no other way. Paul and Silas in the verse above got right to the point speaking to the Jailer don't you think. Romanbear

Hi Cygnusx; Sorry I botherd you. Romanbear

Hi Cygnusx Let me refrase; An offer is something that can be refused. Do you agree? If we are elected before the foundation of the world then we are predestined then as well. After all what are we being chosen for? If not for Salvation. This I thought was the center of Calvinist theology...

Hi Cygnusx; I'm surprized that a Calvinist is willing to admit that Salvation is an offer and not a unalterable predestination. It never ceases to amaze me how close to being right in your soteriology. while your theology seems different Maybe you'd be good enough to explain just how we can...

Aren't Calvinist over looking the fact that Paul in Rom.9:20-21 is speaking hypothetically and not literally. Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to...

Hi Calminian; If this verse is true and we all know that it is; John 6:45 ...Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. Then why are there so many who have turned there backs on the Lord. Should we say they didn't really learn when some of them know the Bible...

For you who are convinced of perseverance of the Saints. If Peter for instance hadn't repented of denying Christ you are saying that he would have been saved anyway. Then why did Christ say; Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in...

Hi Dmckay; So who keeps all his commandments. do you keep them all? Romanbear

lilapologist; I don't pray and ask God to open peoples hearts. I pray and ask if it be His will (which we already know that it is) that He will not give up on influencing them to come to Him. That He will place people of God in there lives as admiring examples. Romanbear :)

Hi UMP; Are you saying that men are saved with out requirements placed on them? Do you mean they don't have to do anything at all. If this was true then all men either are saved or will be. With out condition there can be no difference between anyone so everyone will be saved. I would have...

Hi Moonbeam; There is a difference between the two. Faith is what saves us because it is trusting in what we haven't seen or known. Believing is knowing Him an inter action between us and Him . I believe that once we experince Christ we learn to know Him. Faith is the trust I believe gets us...

Hi Calminian; Isn't it strange to devide Calvinism up and then try to discuss it's various parts with out considering the whole of it all. That is since one pedal of the tulip is always linked to another and so on until you have all of them. I don't consider my self part of either side of...

Hi BBas 64; It certainly seems your just both then, Ridiculous and Late. Just because you assume everyone is saved doesn't make it so either:cool: In Christ; Romanbear

Hi cygnusx1 Well I don't think that Calvinist are anything like Mormons or JW's But they do show alot of scripture that clearly doesn't say what they claim. What's worse is how much they ignore truth when it's starring them right in the face. But if you want to say they are like the JW's and...

Hi Simplyacalvinist; Do you really believe that all those who this was addressed to were in fact Christians?. I don't believe there has ever been a congregation with 100% christians. Not ever unless it's in heaven. I would venture to say that there is not even one church even close to 50%...

Hi cygnusx1 Why yes I am. Most all Gentiles and Jews have ears Wow I call that reading something that just isn't there. How on earth could you come up with such an imagination. There is not two types of hearing talked about in scripture, if there were I'm sure you would have whipped it out...

Hi cygnusx1 Such a dramatical explanation.;) You should write fiction because it is not a command to hear, because all Gentiles can hear. Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. I know you're trying so hard...

Hi Van; If we aquire faith by hearing God's word then it is no Gift in the sense that eternal life is. Eph. 2:8 isn't saying that faith is a gift but it is saying that God's grace is. How ever Faith is a work of God, because the only way we would have faith is by His word. Without which there...

Hi Van; This is not my beliefs; OK I'm letting you know Not so Van. I believe in universal election for Salvation leaving Salvation conditional. Election doesn't insure Salvation it only means that we can receive it if we are willing to. No where in Scripture does it say that we are...
