I am also getting lunch lol I will reply after!

I feel like, in order for our current discussion to make progress, we would indeed need to have a discussion on Free Will, yes! I would be more than happy to discuss this! Was there something particular you wanted to know about what I believe about Free Will, or would you rather I just explain...

Quite alright! Not everyone can agree on everything! you as well!

Hello again friend! If I may - I would very much like to go through your quotes from Calvin as well as the Confession, and explain how I read them and interpret what he is saying. I am indeed most fully persuaded that all things come to pass by the dispensation of God. The question would be...

... Even chapter 28? :contemplate:

Thank you very much! I agree completely; in this context peace is contrasted with calamity or strife! Absolutely agree! God's grace over humanity is the only thing that separates us from times of peace and times of calamity. Without God's Grace, the natural inclination of sinfulness in men...

Hello friend! The point I was trying to make (perhaps I was not clear with my explanation) is, simply put, that is not what this verse is saying. It may appear that way on the surface, but that is more due to a lack of proper English wording than it is anything else. If you would, allow me to...

While I believe myself to be reformed, I do have to agree - it is far too easy for me (I will only say these things about myself as I do not wish to claim to speak for others) But in my personal experience, it is very easy to find yourself porting your ideas into the Scriptures rather than...

Hello again! I hope you're having a wonderful day! Grace as a general term, as I believe the Scriptures defines it, is unmerited favor from God. There are of course different kinds and types of Grace, but as a general term I would say that this definition suits both Common and Special forms of...

While I was in another discussion, I would like to take a moment here to point out that, in this context, the idea is not so much that God creates evil as that he creates adversity. God is the author of all events, both prosperous and and adverse. Based on the context of the verse itself...

Hello again! I completely agree! I personally only speak one language fluently and can read Koine a bit; I'm glad you agree! My apologies if I offended you and your intelligence; I never want to assume anything about someone I'm discussing something with, so I thought it would be helpful to...

I could not agree more; we must converse with one another as Christ would converse with us Himself.

1 Corinthians 13 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and Angels, and have not love, I am as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I had the gift of prophecy, and knew all secrets and all knowledge, yea, if I had all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and had not love...

To know that Christ saw fit to use me to bring Himself glory and honor! I can only give thanks and praise to Him!

I thank you for the kind words! I know I am not always correct; I do believe that my beliefs are of the Scriptures, and will always be willing to share why - however, if I disagree with someone, all I can do is share my opinions, and pray that Christ either convicts their heart OR MINE to...
