    God's election is not selection. God knows the end just as well as the beginning and the middle. No surprise parties for God. (Jesus? yes. But that was one of many more important reasons for living a human lifestyle) So.. Look at the parable of soils. All the different soul types were made...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    If you don't know what you are saying or intending to say how should God know is the scripture you are torturing to say its between two people.

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    YOU have been claiming God is not omnipotent and omniscient with this thread along with your lousy hermeneutics. On top of this you destroy God's diety with your ridiculous notions of God being some sort of supernatural human. Really? This is the god you worship? He sounds extremely...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    If YOU don't know what you are saying then God doesn't either. That's what this verse is saying. God doesn't have any specific language. This is a notion made out of whole cloth that people have created from this passage. (Omniscience is God's hallmark) Why people want to bring God down...

    Well I'm definitely not a Calvinist. I just have a healthy respect and fear of God. And God's Sovereignty? Somewhere between Jonah, Caleb, Elijah (under the broom tree), and Sampson is where I sit at theologically. But we can know specifically what Jesus meant. First....forget the...

    One of the few things Calvinists get correct is their view of God's Sovereignty. Perfectly in control at all times over everything. Man was born blind so God's Glory could be revealed....not just Jesus's authority, power, access to His Father or the Holy Spirit or that He could do whatever He...

    You need to reread the story I just explained that erases Calvinism.

    Rejecting Christ, or rejecting "Christianity"? (the church) ???

    There exists a phenomenon in modern politics that infuriates both sides. (I promise this is going somewhere) RINO & DINO members of each political party. People who claim party affiliation but then acts opposite of what each political party espouses. The same can be said of Christians...

    This is not an original theology system. It is detailed in John's Gospel over the story of "The Man Born Blind" and explained thoroughly. The question "Who Sinned to cause this man to be born blind" is no different from the same questions and subsequent declarations made by Calvinists.

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    The Holy Spirit is God. Not modalism and not part of a pantheon. So this post of yours is nonsense. God understands me just fine in English and spoken in a manner at times that leaves no doubt Who was saying what. Very very clear and unmistakable as to What He wanted. Let's explain...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    The answer to your question is "no, not correct ". God is of order and clarity...not confusion and more confusion.

    CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THE LORD

    Everything is fun until the power goes out. I like commodities because of the complexity of the exchanges. Crop reports vx currency exchange rates which is based on GDP of various nations. But a container of coffee is still a commodity. Based on what someone will pay for it. Crypto has...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    Have you ever taken a recording of people speaking in tongues and put it through Google translate? If it was a viable language....it would translate. But the "tongues" I've heard spoken are extremely regional and none are similar to other regions where the practice is claimed. Not to...

    Zelensky Accepts Defeat to Putin? Says Ukrainian Army Powerless To Push Back Russian Forces

    Have you watched ANY news lately? Gazprom is out. The Russian government is no longer buying Rubles. (Out of resources to buy them)The value has dropped to below 112/dollar. The war economy increased the Russian GDP temporarily but the resulting bankruptcies (trillions of dollars worth) are...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    I use Google translate....much easier and more reliable than the speaking in tongues done in most churches which practice such behaviors.
