Bible Study God
God is an English noun for the Creator. However, God is shared by Christians, Jews and Muslims though God if defined by His characteristics and attributes separates the God of Christians, Jews, and Muslim. Elohim, El Shaddai, El Elyon, El Olam etc etc. Don't know why on earth you'd even...- williamt

Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
Thanks for not bothering to refute a single point or verse put to you. God doesn't "force" anyone, he regenerates ....... yak yak yak yak. -
Are all church members a part of the body of Christ?
Actually it is not. This is Protestant theology 101. Reformed take the 5 Solas out much further. But you're not interested in edification. And I'm not here to listen to you repeat and convey the same heretical doctrine on your soapbox. -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
Again, again, and again, no one is suggesting that the Elect will not repent. After all doctrine doesn't divide the wheat from the tares or the sheep from the goats. What's most important is that we're one big happy family and condone any heretical or apostates under the same roof. Because love... -

Hey ma! Look no Scripture. What are you the tone police? I'm outta here. -
Are all church members a part of the body of Christ?
Again, of course the regenerate are going to repent. The problem I see here is that so many isolate a particular point or verse and forget everything said elsewhere. The Scriptures should be approached with Sola Scriptura and Tota Scriptura or Systematically in mind. Those verses are of course... -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
Of course I agree with the Scriptures. Again, you're going to have to deal with all those Scriptures which supports original sin, total depravity, and total inability. The natural man is a slave to sin, that is his nature and natural disposition. No one is neutral, all are born in Adam. And... -
Are all church members a part of the body of Christ?
Who has enabled repentance in the life of the once reprobate? Faith, confession, and repentance are a works of God which are enabled in the Elect from regeneration. Such works are the fruit of God in the life of the believer. Praise and glory to God alone: Acts 16:14 - One who heard us was a... -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
Right, you have as much say of bearing fruit as a good tree has in 1 Corinthians 3:6. If the Holy Spirit indwells a man then the Spirit will bear good fruit. All glory belongs to God alone! -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
I firmly stand by my position. The doctrine of the devil is found in Genesis 3:5: when Satan, disguised as a serpent, said to Eve, “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Here are the double lies being... -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
That's like saying that a good tree will not bear fruit. -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
No doubt, none of the Elect in the world (from every tribe, tongue and nation) shall perish. It is why we are still here. -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
Define free will. If you simply mean choice then yes you have a choice and you'll be held accountable and responsible for your decision. However, if you mean that free will is an autonomous or libertarian will then that should be rejected. Man is a slave to sin by nature and is incapable (with... -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
I listed a proper theological definition from theopedia and can provide more from credible sources. And to suggest that my view is not partial to synergism is an understatement. That's like saying that there's only a minor difference between Catholicism and Protestantism. Theological... -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
My definitions as applicable to this thread: Sure, Synergism is a cooperation between man and God. Man initiates or performs righteous works such as faith, confession and repentance etc and then God cooperates by granting man regeneration etc. In other words man must lift himself up heavenward... -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
They will, because they are regenerate. What you're pointing to is synergism which is taught by Roman Catholics. Salvation is Monergism. Whatever you point to in yourself are your own works. If the work was initiated by God then that is monergism. Classical Protestant or Reformed Theology... -
Do those believing in “grace only” fear the Lord?
Fear of the Lord is received by Grace. It is a fruit of regeneration. Fear of the Lord is given by God in His timing: Jeremiah 32:40 Salvation is monergism. God provides everything (His works) necessary for salvation. -
Believing in Wrong Doctrine: Will I lose my salvation?
The irony is that as a Reformed Christian from an actual Reformed denomination I find your identity politics insulting to my sensibilities. -
Believing in Wrong Doctrine: Will I lose my salvation?
Are you suggesting that the standard of authority over interpretation is not the Catholic church or are you stating that you're unaware that the Catholic church rejects Sola Scriptura? Furthermore, you can simply refer to 1 Corinthians 11:19 as to why there are divisions among the universal...
