Answer: You'll need to ask God that question. The Bible teaches both election and God's desire, or what some may call a 'general call to salvation'. Is His desire simply a general call to salvation? One thing that's for sure is this, the reprobate willingly reject God. The best answer to the...

THE PATTERN REPEATED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT Those who fail to learn from the lessons of history are bound to repeat its mistakes. The Assyrian and Babylonian captivities should have taught Israel a lesson. On the pages of the New Testament, however, the same disastrous pattern emerges. God has a...

ISAIAH 28 In his important discussion concerning the purpose of the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 14:21-22), the Apostle Paul cites Isaiah 28:11-12 as evidence that tongues was given as a sign "to them that believe not." A proper understanding of this important Old Testament passage is crucial...

The gift of tongues ceasing has been gone over already. I wanted to concentrate on the OT aspect of the sign. I don't wish to debate why I believe the sign gift of tongues is not for today. I did that already here...

That whole album, or, um, CD, is good. :biggrin2 If you like bass, you'll like it a lot. I like choir, but it has to be done right. I tried Brooklyn tabernacle, but sounded too...kind of like what Pat Boone did to little Richard's music. I need it to be closer to the street, so to speak.

The OT scribes and pharisees thought that the Gospel was arrogance. How Dare Jesus tell them that their righteousness wasn't going to save them. Paul said 'I bring you the truth and now you hate me?' These days, just having a different view and being challenged for it is called hatred, being...

If they don't offer an alternative to defining all the other scripture, then it isn't us that they are gnashing their teeth at.

My question Why would I need to provide complete understanding of a tension in scripture for it to be true? I know that normally that's how we solve these problems. But the Bible doesn't guarantee that every thought in scripture will be understood. Like the Trinity. In this case, I would think...

Hi Petra Welcome back to the forum. I was here about twenty years ago myself, then I kind of fell off of the social grid for a while. I actually took that part of the opening post from my Macarthur study Bible many years back. I just cut and pasted it from another forum that I also used to use...

JBL 'Total depravity' is a theological term that represents a whole theological understanding. We do that to save time. Like the term 'Trinity'. You won't find that word in scripture, but I can show you scripture that clearly supports that theological understanding. Dave

Joel's prophecy will not be completely fulfilled until the millennial kingdom and the final judgment. But Peter, by using it, shows that Pentecost was a pre-fulfillment, a taste of what will happen in the millennial kingdom when the Spirit is poured out on all flesh. In Joel 2:28 it says "And it...

Romans 9:22-23 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory. Isaiah...

That's about where I'm at too. We're in no hurry. There are apparent contradictions everywhere in Scripture. Some are easily explained, while some need a bit of context. Like when Paul said... Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has...

Sometimes their questions are rooted in their own theology, not in the Bible. In other words, sometimes, what seems like a contradiction, is only a contradiction with their own reasoning, not in the Bible. I noticed that a lot of their questions are like that. But, in this instance, there does...
