Ah....
What are you talking about Scott Downey?
Of course you're not going to agree with me on HOW a person becomes born again....
That's because you don't follow the teaching of JESUS or of PAUL or of any other writer in the NT.
You follow some guy named JOHN CALVIN.
Who taught heretical theology.
Also,,,,,IF you bring up Romans 9 and then decide you do not wish to discuss Romans 9 because it's beyond your pay grade...
THEN WHY BRING IT UP?
Why not just make comments on something or other that you THINK you know about instead of bringing up theological matters that you know nothing about?
And....last comment...
WHY NOT LEARN what Romans 9 is about instead of MISQUOTING it???
Men did this . and people seem to love to have it so .
A hint . IF anyone comes and tries to pit paul against james , or somehow even pits paul against Christs teachings
I WOULD NOT HEED A WORD ONE outta they mouth .
IF they come hollering certain teachings dont apply to us today , I WOULD NOT HEED a one .
FROM THE WORDS OF JESUS to the words of the apostels and er lovely word of truth in scrip . ITS ALL FOR OUR MEAT
and for our good that we do learn and do not do the evil others did .
IF folks do as they do and what they do contradicts what the early church taught and left us in that bible
THAT IS ONE THAT WONT BE HEEDED . This would include those who justify female pastors or any other such thing .
Christ left us the pattern and the apostels under influence of the HOLY GHOST would later expound that pattern to the church .
RATHER ODD they sure seem quite serious against sin . TODAY THEY DONT
rather odd they seemed to talk about what should occur to any brother or sister IN A SIN
not to even eat with such a one . THSI IS ABOUT repentance . BUT TODAY NO WAY , ITS JUDGE NOT CORRECT NOT
which led to A MASSIVE amount of leaven till now we see even rainbows , korans and other junk IN THE CHURCH .
the lie to merge the denomiantions and false religoins HAS COME and more and more even embrace that lie .
