21 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | Percival | 6442 | ||
Orthodoxy, I daresay some will be surprised at what God thinks is 'negotiable' on that day. Especially when we are discussing the grace of our Lord and Savior. Praise the Lord! |

22 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | Percival | 6441 | ||
Joe, It is unbecoming to say among the faithful, "You are like a so-and-so." I can sense your frustration, but I doubt that you will win an argument by resorting to name-calling. Praise the Lord! |

inHzsvc, "tulip" but not Calvinist? Praise the Lord! |

24 | Did you have a particular source? | Mark 10:25 | Percival | 6437 | ||
Tim, Your tongue-in-cheek is great! (be it intentional or not) I get your 'point' about needles being needles. Praise the Lord! |

25 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | Percival | 6427 | ||
Finally, the discussion between the disciples of Calvin and the disciples of Arminus erupts into the familiar lines of bigotry. Calvinists have well proved the utter depravity of man, and the doctrine of exclusion, excuse me, election. A single avowed Arminist has allowed free will to run amok. But the valiant defenders of their faith held their ground and gouged an eye for an eye. Now, even so, the revelation to that famous heretic, Martin Luther, is given to us, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8) It is good to know that this verse applies even to extremists and self-righteous saints. "Let not then your good be evil spoken of." (Romans 14:16) Have you all been sleeping well? Praise the Lord! |

26 | What took you so long? | Rom 5:6 | Percival | 6426 | ||
EdB, You are correct that this was not physically 'connected' to the 'other' discussion. I will rectify the situation. With all due respect, regardless of the lack of physical 'connection,' did it not seem obvious that was my intention? Praise the Lord! |

28 | Jesus is the Father and the Holy Spirit? | Matt 28:19 | Percival | 4911 | ||
Joe, I do not propose discarding sound theology for the sake of "everybody getting along." I simply remember that, though I am called to abhor sin, "But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you..." Matt 5:44 and "You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord." Lev 19:18. Please do not tear any pages from your Bible on my account. I understand the temptation to claim we are following Jesus' example (toward the Temple moneychangers)when we proclaim righteous anger, but at the expense of love? Praise the Lord! |

29 | Sectarians go to Hell? | Gal 5:20 | Percival | 4838 | ||
Dear members, This scripture, in the context of Gal.5:19-21 speaks of things that would negate our inheritance of the kingdom of God. Among them is 'factions' (also translated 'sect' in the NASB) - haireses, meaning choice, opinion, and the basis of the word heresy. My question is in two parts: 1-Does 'not inheriting the kingdom of God' mean going to Hell? (including heretics) and 2-Does not a goodly part of Christianity engage in sectarian practices? Praise the Lord! |

30 | Jesus is the Father and the Holy Spirit? | Matt 28:19 | Percival | 4836 | ||
Dear Joe, Please abstain from using the exclamation mark, as it makes you appear angry. Even though I have found myself very much in agreement with many of your remarks on doctrine, anger does not become a disciple of Jesus. If I may, I would ask that if you consider your opponent an heretic, does that mean you also consider him unworthy of salvation? If this is the case, he needs to be led to truth in love and compassion. Rather, if you consider him saved, but misled, is he not still your brother? These thoughts crossed my mind when reading some of your posts. Praise the Lord! |

31 | Brotherly love, primary? | John 13:35 | Percival | 4652 | ||
Hank, what a lovely answer. I feel guilty now, accusing this forum of lacking love! Your answer shows abundant love and care. I have read more, and shall continue to read more, and if I can think of something new to ask, I shall do so! (I noticed that many questions have been asked redundantly) Thank you for encouraging me to keep at it. Praise the Lord! | ||||||
32 | Brotherly love, primary? | John 13:35 | Percival | 4648 | ||
I have been reading some of the questions and answers on this forum, and have to wonder if this scripture is primary in the hearts of many of the people involved. Just an observation. Thanks. Praise the Lord! | ||||||
