    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    wondering, I know who Zwingli is, but don't have a clue about Zilweg. Perhaps you misspelled his name. As used in NT times, heresy was a sect for different interpretations. Today, "heresy" has developed into a term that means teaching that is very different from biblical Christianity. Thus...

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    wondering, In NT Greek, the term from which we get the English, ‘heresy’ is hairesis. Arndt & Gingrich’s Greek Lexicon (1957:23) states that hairesis means ‘sect, party, school’. It was used of the Sadducees in Acts 5:17; of the Pharisees in Acts 15:5; of the Christians in Acts 24:5. It is used...

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    Sola, I suggest you do some study in historical theology. Calvin did not teach TULIP. It emerged from the teaching of the Synod of Dort (1618-19). "Five theological points were formulated to answer the Remonstrants" who were not Calvinists. Oz

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    wondering, I understand false teaching, based on departure from the Bible, as synonymous with heresies In NT Greek, the term from which we get the English, ‘heresy’ is hairesis. Arndt & Gingrich’s Greek Lexicon (1957:23) states that hairesis means ‘sect, party, school’. It was used of the...

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    Quantrill, I consider you're on the wrong horse with your definition of free will. Simply stated, the nature of human free will or of human free choice is, according to Norman Geisler, ‘the power of contrary choice’ (Geisler 2003:444). This is a basic and simple definition: ‘Free will or free...

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    FF, I obtained the Spurgeon quote straight from one of his sermons, The Warrant of Faith. I didn't go searching for secondary sources. I got Spurgeon's doctrine on regeneration straight from Spurgeon. Guess who is "confused"? Oz

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    FF, Really? Charles Spurgeon, a Calvinist, knew the folly of the kind of thinking that states that regeneration is logically prior to faith. He preached that it is absurd to say that a sinner is regenerate logically before he/she believes. Spurgeon stated: Norman Geisler, who called himself...

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    FF, When we ask, ‘What is the nature of free will or free choice?’ we may be asking: How long is a piece of string in theological terms? If we are going to answer this question with biblical accuracy, we will need to ask further questions about: Free will / free choice and the power of God...

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    Quantrill, Your verse contradicts these verses: 29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your...

    The Westminster Confession of Faith Blasphemy

    Who is the person from whom Arminianism is named? Have you thought about that person and the tenets of his theology? Do you know any of the teachings of Arminianism? I suggest you read the site of Arminian Perspectives to gain fuller understanding of the biblical theology of Arminianism. Oz

    wondering, I'd tread carefully here. Arminius was a Dutch Reformed minister, thus making his theology Reformed Arminianism. Oz

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    DDW, Luke 1:2 (NIV) notes "those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word." Were they more than one "witness"? Oz

    Caution on self-proclaimed biblical language experts

    jay, Would you consider Wikipedia the stronghold for "self-proclaimed biblical language experts"? I'm interested in who you consider are these "language experts" that you ignore. Oz
