What is Election?
Chessman, you might be agreeing with me here, I do not know. You begin the statement with the term "yes." I am not sure what your saying. When I read your comments, my thoughts are that your comments are non-sequitur. Maybe I just do not understand your thinking here or what you were saying... -

What is Election?
Every fair minded student of the poetic sections of the bible recognizes that Hebrew poems employs figurative language. Both Psalms and most of Job are written in Poetry, and thus have a many figures of speech. In fact, poetry in general in any culture and language abounds with figures of... -

What is Election?
I think your statement above is the key to the difference of opinion in this thread. In the fall of Adam, did this corruption extend to the will of man? John 1 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 who... -

Bible Study The Gospel of John, Greek discussion
chessman, I am not sure what you are referring to here. In the LXX there is Hebrew to greek translation, but I know nothing about Greek to Hebrew translations. Messianic Christians might have something like that. I am guessing that you are asking if Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 have the same...- mondar

Bible Study The Gospel of John, Greek discussion
John has a surprising way of expressing his understanding of the person of Christ. He describes Christ is two ways. ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, Christ was with God from the beginning. There was never a time when Christ was not with God. καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος. Christ was God from the beginning...- mondar

Evolution Is Religion--Not Science
It is curious how evolutionists use the term "fact." We observe the survival of the fittest, we observe mutations, we observe the fossil record. Yet both evolutionist and non evolutionists observe those facts. Yet to the evolutionist, those facts prove the fact of evolution, to the non...- mondar

As it Was In The Days Of Noah...
I do not know if Edward is here, but he is asking good questions. It is an exegetical question. Exegetically, each personal pronoun in every text is going to modify an antecedent within the context. In this verse, 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and... -

an Old Testiment Question
Well, Reba, Chopper specifically raise an Old Testament question. There is an OT answer. The OT specifically favors foreign bikes. "Davids Triumph was heard throughout the land." Harley's never even get a mention. -

Refuting KJV Only Mythology
KJV only advocates generally do not refer to manuscript evidence to support their opinions. Are there any exceptions? Are their any KJV only people that try to establish their argument by pointing to manuscript evidence? Do any actually get as detailed to compare the variants? Do any even... -

Refuting KJV Only Mythology
The first translation that comes to mind that are the product of a single denomination is the KJV itself. In 1611 it was the Church of England that produced the translation. Out of all the major translations (not counting non-translations such as the New World Translation), it is the only... -

What is Election?
Deborah, I guess I do not see it. When I read this in post #299... "Which doesn't make sense since you have to have faith to be regenerated. But I guess that's the point." That seems a denial of the heart of what I am saying and what I believe. Faith does not cause regeneration, but... -

What is Election?
The whole recent conversation started because you corrected me ... when I corrected Deborah about what Calvinists believe about regeneration. You stated that you have to "have faith to be regenerated." (See post #601) I asked for biblical support for you claim. Where does the scripture... -

an Old Testiment Question
Excuse me for posting off topic, but I am again curious. Do you still have that pan head you mentioned? I am guessing not. I do not see antiques like where I live. I would have to go to a museum to see any of the pan heads or shovel heads. I never owned or even rode a Harley. Actually, I... -

an Old Testiment Question
Hello Chopper. I hope you do not mind some interpersonal questions. I am curious do you still ride a motorcycle at 73 years of age? Concerning your questions concerning the reasons for Israels rebellion, and a few other miscellaneous comments. 1--You mention the marrying of foreign wives, that... -

What is Election?
So in your first reference, your saying this is a demonstration that faith precedes regeneration? Can you tell me what phrase in the verse speaks of regeneration? Now your detouring from the question. We could certainly talk about a correct definition of "πιστις" (James 2:14), but that of... -

What is Election?
Show me scripture when speaks of the necessity of faith before regeneration. I can definitely show scripture which requires regeneration as the cause of faith. -

What is Election?
All Calvinists believe that regeneration preceeds faith in the ordo salutus. On the other hand, not even one Calvinist believes that regeneration occurs before faith in time. -

Refuting KJV Only Mythology
Navigator, it might matter what translation you have. If one uses the New World Translation, it is simply not a translation. On the other hand, I think most translation committees have done a tremendous job in accurately translating the text they chose to translate. However, there is really... -

What is Election?
Two things. While its nice to agree, I think we view the phrase "It's all Grace" very differently. You would say that grace is necessary for everything and anything, I would say that Grace is sufficient. The difference is quite great. Concerning concept of predestination, it is true that the... -

What is Election?
Dadof10, we all come to the text with our traditions in the back of our mind and thus have preconceived ideas or presuppositions. There is no such thing as a person without presuppositions. The key is to be able to measure our own presuppositions against the text, but we all have...
