The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Not as an argument for or against anything you wrote in your response, but rather as an attempt to make something clear, here is a C. H. Spurgeon quote: One week-night, when I was sitting in the house of God, I was not thinking much about the preacher's sermon, for I did not believe it. The... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Thanks for correcting me. If I understand you, you are writing something along the lines of what FastFred mentioned about the sequence being more a logical sequence than a time sequence. It's actually encouraging to me in that I think we are closer in thinking than I had originally thought. (A... -

Good gracious! I find myself agreeing with Moseme AND TibiasDad and putting "Likes" on their posts!! Am I growing soft? :) -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
TD, I am kind of jazzed because I think on this issue we may be in agreement. I have a thought I'd like your input on: I see agape as very close to the valuing of something. If you highly value something, you sacrifice other things of less value to gain it. In loving God above all, i.e... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
I'm a bit confused. You seem to think that if I am to be motivated to present the Gospel, it must require I believe people have the autonomous ability to accept/reject the Gospel. Yet my whole post was on my motivations, just not the one you seem to think is indispensible. If my motivations are... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
First, thank you for a gracious and reasonable reply. Most of what you are writing here has to do with the nature of love and how it is a defining characteristic of God. It is a topic that could easily consume another thread. For now, let's just leave it that I do not see love as any more or... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
TibiasDad, JLB, Moseme, Fastfredy0, wondering: Not that my answering your posts rank in the top concerns of your lives, but I do appreciate your responses and I thought I'd let you know my delayed responses are largely due to having a paying job, at least for the next 2-3 months. Upon retiring... -
Repentance, what do you think it is?
Here's an interesting passage regarding repentance: 2 Timothy 2:22–26 (ESV) So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed...- Hospes

The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Take a look at my previous post to JLB regarding questions having premises. Your question has a whole raft of potential unexpressed premises. If you want nothing but yes-or-no answers, ask yes-or-no questions. Ask a complex question, don't be sore because you don't get a yes-or-no answer. BTW... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
JLB, do you understand that questions many times have premises that must be accepted as true before the answer can be given? "Have you stopped beating your wife? Yes or no!" has the unstated premise that you were at some point beating your wife. Surely, you understand this! Your question has... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Wow! Really? You are all-knowing enough to know I serve a false god? Do you really think so highly of yourself as to make this call? "Move over, God, and give your seat up for Moseme so he can declare who is yours and who is not!" Really? First, let's not assume one another's answers to... -
What Has Trump Done For America In His First Term?
I forgot, most in the US got an income tax reduction. Sad that she voted for a political party that is fully committed to allowing the killing of the innocent.- Hospes

The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
When I stand before God to give an account, I will have nothing to offer as a defense other than the work accomplished by Christ in His death and resurrection. I am trusting He will be my righteousness, for I've got nothing to commend myself to a Most Holy God. So do you think I'm part of the... -

What Has Trump Done For America In His First Term?
From my perspective, Trump has plenty to not like personality-wise and has no skill in hiding his moral failures. But when it comes to political accomplishments, his administration has: Made ISIS a nonentity. Moved USA into energy independence. We are no longer are a net consumer of petrol, but...- Hospes

Repentance, what do you think it is?
The NT word is a compound word indicating changed thinking. In our vernacular, it would accurately be called a "change of heart". Given this, I believe the fruit of repentance is the change in behavior that results from a true change in thinking/heart. It is easy to mistake a change in...- Hospes

The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Of course, I love Sproul. Nonetheless, I find it difficult to wrap my brain around an "order of" anything without it being capable of being set on a timeline. Even if I can't understand a non-temporal logical sequence, I do see clearly that it is "God who saves, freeing us from the sinful... -

Greatly appreciate your devotion to scripture. It gives you and me a common launching pad for discussion, even if we disagree.
