Sorry, but you haven't taught me anything. All you have done is share your opinion about what those scriptures are saying. I don't agree with your view, because you had to impose too much of your opinion to them. I don't think those verses require so much to be added to them, they don't need...

If you go back a few posts, you would see that I do believe that the word "hate" is used in many different contexts. Our dispute is over the context, in which the words "hate" and "love less" are used. Why would Jesus use the words "love more" in Matthew, then use the word "hate", to say the...

Your theology has let you down again, and you have failed to interpret the scriptures I quoted. I don't know who told you that Adam was created with a sin nature, but I do know they were lying to you. Because the bible clearly states that Adam did not have a sin nature at all. God only made...

Reformed Theology, hold to a different interpretation of the gospel, than all the denominations do. So Reformed Theology is on it's own, todays Reformed Church has nothing in common with the denominations. The difference between the Reformed Church and the rest, is irreconcilable, because the...

None of negates the doctrine of election to salvation. Be cause the general revelation and effectual call are not the same thing. The general Revelation was given to justify Gods punishment of sinners, as it reveals Gods law to everyone, so all are without excuse. So the general revelation has...

Dear Sister, I hope you don't think that my comment was directed at you, as it wasn't. I was responding to another member who shared their unbiblical interpretation of a text with me and I attempted to correct them but they rejected the correction and held on to their unbiblical view. I know...

I'm sorry to say your theology doesn't line up with what the bible says about being born with a sin nature. There isn't a single example in the entire bible of anyone being born without inheriting Adams sin nature. This idea that we don't become dead in our trespasses and sin, until we commit...

I really don't know when God began to draw me to Himself, I can't remember one distinct moment or day. So it's a complete mystery to me, how or when He began to draw me to Himself. I'm sure some believers have had a (road to Damascus) type of experience, where they experienced a radical...

I used to think that the greatest enemies of Gods people, were Rock Stars, Hollywood Actors and those who practice Witchcraft and false religions like Islam. But I have since come to realize that the worst enemies of Gods people, are those in pulpits, who preach a false gospel. As you already...

I heard a Pastor of Mega Church, say that the God of the old testament has calmed down and He is no longer angry. The Pastor was trying to say that God has changed or evolved, and He now accepts things that He didn't accept under the old law. He said we now enjoy Gods grace, and love because...

There are around 120 verses of scripture confirming that everyone is born with a sin nature. You don't inherit your sin nature after you commit your first sin. You sin because you're a sinner by nature. God hated Esau while He was still in his mother womb, God didn't have to wait for Esau to be...

I was debating the meaning of Romans 5:18 with @JBO who interprets the verse to say, that Christ died for everyone, including those He casts into hell. Rom 5:18 Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act...

General call, or "General Revelation is what God revealed to all mankind; Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, The above verse...

Thanks for sharing your private opinion about Jacob Arminius, but it doesn't help me at all. You haven't shown me any errors with Calvinism, I know it's easy to say this is wrong but that's only your private opinion. I would appreciate it if you could actually point out any errors, before I...

I don't think it's worth splitting hairs over who wrote it or the language it was originally written in. The interpretation of the text in the most thing. I'm not a bible scholar nor am I a theologian, but I am a keen student of the bible and I'm trying to lean as much as I can, so I can give...

The verse doesn't need to state the obvious. The doctrine of original sin is taught throughout the entire bible. Because Adam’s nature was corrupted by the fall—as evidenced in his alienation to God. Gen 3:7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed...

Well said, I can tell you don't have any faith in the "man centered, works based" gospel, which is so popular today. I would estimate that over 90% of professing Christians reject Gods sovereignty in salvation. They hold to the "synergistic" gospel, which claims that salvation is not all of...

It sounds like you're expecting a bit too much of yourself. I know it's a fine balancing act, between remaining faithful to God and pleasing people. There's nothing wrong with pleasing people if it brings glory to God, if we help a sick neighbor with their chores, they will be pleased with you...

I grew up in the Roman Catholic Church, then when I was 19 a friend invited me to a Pentecostal Church service. After the Pastor preached his sermon, he invited anyone who is not sure that they are saved to slip up their hand while everyone's eyes were closed. I didn't raise my hand until the...

Nobody knows what the initial stage of salvation is, salvation is a mysterious work of God. We can see the effects of salvation on an individuals life, but we don't know the order or the means, by which God saves His people. God is a mystery, and we will never know His ways as they are...
