Ronald is one of those people .......

This type..

A person can't read Greek...but they want to teach it... as they dont trust their Bible.
However, they can't read Greek.

Fake....Solution?

Buy a Gk Lexicon.. and read the English Translation, and then post the Grk, and pretend you are teaching it.

That is actually quite dishonest.
Its almost as dishonest and saying that a Bible can't be trusted, because "only the Original Greek" is the word of God.. And yet there is no Original Greek, as only the Apostles Letters, are the "originals".. and those are long gone.
Trust me B.
I know all the types.

I already have..we are Born Of The Spirit, exactly as the word says,

There is no scripture that says a man has free will to become Born Again..if you are saved, then you must have been birthed by the Spirit..you can’t choose or freely have a conversation with God to give birth to your spirit, I’m afraid, sorry.
You should be sorry RJ.
You can't even support what you believe.

I showed you how man has free will.
You can't even trust what you read....
that's how brainwashed you are.

No need to know any Greek.
Translators do a pretty good job of translating.
They don't need YOUR help.

It would be sufficient for you to support your views in English,
but I doubt even that could be accomplished due to the fact that you're not following biblical teachings.
Another useless excuse to avoid having to show any Scripture to support your accusations.

And no the translators with the Exception of the Amplified and Kittles 10 volume Greek New Testament have done a pretty good job.

the verb fitted in the NT appears in both the active and passive and all decent translations do not show the difference.

Also things like aorrist, second aorist, perfect pluperfect etc. are not delineated well in English translations.

If we didn't need Greek why do we have all sorts of tools and all reputable Bible colleges teach Koine Greek to their students? Just to bilk them for money?

What IS the aorist tense Ronald?

Oh. Well, being born again has nothing to do with being Calvinist.
You could be born again AND be Calvinist.
You could follow the teachings of John Calvin instead of those of Jesus and God will forgive you
because He's a loving God.

Calvinists don't believe in a loving God.
But you'll have to figure this out for yourself.
And yet I showed you beig a five pointer is following what the Scriptures teach and you fail to show from Gods Word why it is wrong!

So you wish to defend Beholds lack of biblical support for his vile vicious attacks then. Okay.

Ive posted a lot of "biblical support" to expose the lies of "TULIP".

And you've posted a lot of verses that you could not explain, if you lived 100 more lifetimes... @Ronald Nolette

All you can do, and some other's who are deceived Calvinists, is post verses you dont understand or cut and paste some Calvinism.

All a Calvinist can do to a NT Verse, is CALVINIZE them, and say....>>>"SEE that is the Verse"..

However....Its not the verse, and you, like all Deceived Calvinists, teach Calvinism and believe that its the bible.
Its not the bible.
Its a Cross Denying Heresy, that blinds minds, and then turns the deceived one into a SELLER of Calvin's Lies.

It would appear to be true, if i have the time frame right, that you have been selling Calvin's Lies for over 30 Yrs.

Well He hasn't posted them to me and I will not dig through all of yours or his posts to seek to find them. If He wishes to debate with me- he needs to defend his position to me and not refer to some past postings.

He asked me for Scripture and I posted them though I have posted them now a dozen times. He should be as Courteous.

Well, just because you say it does not make it so.

As I asked,,,,could you please show me, from the bible,
how man has no free will.
I already have.
I showed you how man DOES HAVE free will....
It's your turn to show us how man does not have free will.
Sorry ,you haven’t shown me anything, scripture doesn’t agree with your opinion.
Oh. Well, being born again has nothing to do with being Calvinist.
You could be born again AND be Calvinist.
You could follow the teachings of John Calvin instead of those of Jesus and God will forgive you
because He's a loving God.
Sorry, your post makes no sense..I’m Born Again and in Gods will..not my will.
Calvinists don't believe in a loving God.
But you'll have to figure this out for yourself.
I rely on the Spirit, all in his timing .
You're in God's will.
Good.

Does this mean that you NEVER sin?
You haven't sinned ONE TIME in all the years you've been born again?
Correct, my sins are covered by the blood of the Lamb.

You see, a Born Again doesn’t sin, because they have been Born of Gods seed.

I don’t think you understand what Born Of God’s seed means?

And once again all you are capable of doing is throwing out loads of lies, venom and vacuous charges and refusing to give Scripture to rebut Scripture.

You are great at hurling slander but an empty suit when it comes to proving your slander.

More and more I am becoming highly convinced you hurl venom at the use of Greek because you are too lazy to study it and you also hurl insults when people post many bible verses for you do not know how to rightly handle the Word of Truth.

I would love to have an honest debate with you, but as long as you refuse to answer Scripture with Scripture, I will continue to call you out on your bearing false witness.

Well you demand me to look up your post 388 to learn something, why don't you look up the aoritst tense yourself and learn something.

Sauce for the Goose is sauce for the gander.
My post took over 30 minutes to write.
I could explain the aorist tense to you with 10 words, maybe less.

So, you don't even know what it means....as most who claim to know really DO NOT.

Still no reply to 388.....

Regarding the 5 points...Let's take one.
Irresistible Grace....

I is for irresistible grace.
This means that you cannot say no to God.
This means that you have no free will.
This means that God chooses some persons to go to heaven and chooses some persons to go to hell.
If you believe man has no free will --- you are a Calvinist.


Could you please explain the following verse to me?


John 3:16
16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.


What does the above mean?
Does it mean that a person could CHOOSE God or does it mean that a person CANNOT choose God?
Does it sound like man has free will or does NOT have free will?


What does this mean:
Deuteronomy 30:17-19
17“But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,
18I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.
19“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,


God is giving the Israelites the choice between obeying Him and not obeying HIm.
The choice between life and death.
God is telling them TO CHOOSE.

Does choosing mean that you have free will
or does it mean that you do not have free will?

Well He hasn't posted them to me

Ive posted many to you., and explained them.

You then insult, and leave for a time and then come back and say.>>>"you didnt post any".

What i wont do, is post Calvin's Doctrine.... as to post it, is to SELL IT..

You are selling the Heresy of TULIP, and you believe this is "of God".
You'll find out, eventually, that it never was of God.. as God is not a Calvinist.
It was not of God who led Calvin to author it, and its not the Holy Spirit Who leads anyone into Calvin's Heresy, and its not the Holy Spirit who causes those deceived by it, to feel a inner compulsion to try to lead other people into Calvin's Heretical Theology.

Christians, lead people to CHRIST

Deceived Calvinists.. lead people to CALVIN.

Thats a Fact, that many here, want to keep proving.

But almost noe to me. and I will not swim through the septic tank of your venomous posts to try to find times when you did post verses somewhere to someone in the past. You can either answer me with bible.

If you did instead of the thousand or so posts over over a dozen threads spewing your venom- we could hav eporbably finished by now.

Sorry ,I have supported what it means to be Born Of The Spirit..sadly, you refute posted scripture.

Then post scripture on what you believe it means to be Born Again.which is your opinion.

A Born Again is in the will of the Father..he has their spirit 100%..man has no freewill to become Born Of The Spirit, just as His word says.

I don’t think you understand what Born Of God’s seed means?
I think you understand very little of God's word.
And I do believe I should leave this nonsense of a conversation with you.

You've never sinned in all the years you've been saved.
Yes. Once again denying the simple word of God.
Read up on 1 John....
Good night.

As you might have noticed....
I don't post opinion...
I post verses.

Apparently some on this thread (you) cannot counter those verses because they ARE TRUTH and truth is difficult to deny.

YOU are the only one spewing here.
Very unchristianly of you I must say.

But Calvinists tend to be like this.
I know this for a sure fact.
Difficult to know why.
Maybe because they feel so privileged?
Yes. That's the ticket.

You now admit that i have posted verses to you..
In fact ive posted them in my THREADs, that expose the Satanic Heresy that is Calvinism, and you will read the Threads, that have verses in them, and say....>>>"NO VERSES"

So, you have some issues, and being John Calvin's Tool, is not the only one. @Ronald Nolette

Actually SD, I don't read commentaries. As I've already said, what I posted is not a commentary but a scholarly presentation on Romans 9, and actually through to 11.
Well I went back to your post 388 and showed you that Paul in verses 22-24 is specifically speaking to all! Romans 9-11 is a commentary by Paul mostly on Israel and showing Gods OT promises to Israel will still be fulfilled.

So you consider yourself a biblical scholar?

Is this self proclaimed or have you labored and been shown by those over you to be a scholar?

Hmmm.
Nothing on post 388.
Nothing on what the aorist tense means.
Waiting on verses showing that man has no free will.
