by faith? I wouldn't mind you expounding on your statement. :) What I am curious about, if by faith, who received before Abraham Genesis 3:15 by faith: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspringa]" and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise...

Just putting this in here:

Study Note: The language concerning the second death in verse 6,14, and 21:8 suggests a contrast between the first death and the second. The first death is bodily death, but it is only preliminary, not ultimate. The second death is ultimate and spiritual in character. Likewise, the first and...

I don't doubt it. I was looking for the wind sail. What's the top speed, 150mph downhill during a hurricane?

Early Reformers screen printed on Mugs might be rather desirable. Some of Luther's insults would probably make one laugh early in the morning: http://ergofabulous.org/luther/ Same could be applied to T-shirts.

Let us look at the events Paul described. First he noted: “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven.… And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thess. 4:16–17). Here we see that...

Guess I can contribute to the thread in a different way.This may seem silly to some.... Well, I guess it is through my 18+ years of martial arts training. Spending much time in meditation as a training technique I learned to empty my mind. I tend to think of our view like a camera lens. From...

Born and raised in Delaware, until I came upon the age of .... joining the USAF to kick some butt during Desert Shield >> Storm. Stationed in various places like Texas and South Carolina, then after I was discharged and moved to Washington State. Met my wife on Christian "babes" Singles, and...

Question, Yosef, is it the wickedness of the wicked or the wicked in hell? God bless, William

So you suggest foreknew is to know before. How does He know? Does He have special regard for those, those that are the objects of His affection and concern? Many times in Scripture ‘know’ is used in a sense practically synonymous with ‘love’, to set regard upon, to know with peculiar interest...

Okie dokie. You said, "Maybe foresaw, could be said as through His foreknowledge..." Please, if I may ask of you to explain the verb "foreknew"? And if I may ask of you further, what is the object of the verb? God bless, William

Hello, First, I apologize for not reading all resulting replies. Perhaps you can clarify when stating, "God foresaw who would choose Christ of their own free will." I'd just like to state, that I too believe God is omniscient, knowing all. But why had God the need to look through the corridors...

Right, Israel was always comprised of the faithful remnant, and not limited to some geographical lines created by the United Nations. God bless, William

Can you explain or elaborate on point 3 please? So you are advocating regeneration comes after these conditions left to man of himself? The center of Reformed Soteriology is not man. If man was left to himself he would lose his salvation. How can you see, let alone enter the kingdom of God...

Are you asking what the point is of having defined "free will" from a Reformed perspective? God bless, William

That's your argument, seriously? God bless, William

I would like to say the only stumbling block in Reformed Theology is a persons' "self." This thread amazes me, the inconsistencies made in argument, and the nature of competitive pride when approaching the Sovereignty and Glory belonging to God alone in Soteriology. Throughout history, there...

John 3:8 - "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Awareness of regeneration may follow sometime later in life. A lot of denominations place emphasis on the "conversion"...

Then I apologize for using John 3:16 as a Scripture having nothing to do with your position or where you are ultimately going. I acknowledge you're speaking about prophecy, and that Luther and Later Reformers were oblivious to this revelation. I am removing myself from this thread. God bless...

A common position or interpretation used to prove your point Deborah is John 3:16. Many Universalist (because that is actually where your doctrine is headed) believe the "World" means from every tribe, tongue, and nation without exception in order to support a universal atonement. This is met...
