161 | Best commentary on Revelation? | Revelation | Radioman | 1714 | ||
Well put, inhzsvc. The philosophy at TBN (although some of the programs are worthwhile) seems to be: let's go for the emotional experiences and the sensational prophecy experts; and forget sound Bible doctrine. As long as you shake, rattle and roll as I do, let's not be divided over doctrine. While all people will never agree on secondary points of doctrine, we had better base our fellowship around the essentials of the historic Christian faith (e.g. the Trinity, the Deity of Christ, the Atonement, Sin, Christ's Second Coming, etc.) If we don't, we seriously err and are vulnerable to confusion. | ||||||

I knew this reply was written by you, even before I scrolled down to look at the tree. Good one, Charis! But you need not be envious. If you want my TV set, you can have it. I'm finished with it. (smile) | ||||||
163 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | Radioman | 1708 | ||
Thank you for your encouraging reply. No, I have never read Edwards on this. But the treatise on free will sounds extremely interesting. I will look for it to read it. I agree with you regarding both election and the process and principles of correct interpretation of the Scripture. Have you noticed that often when anti-electionists are asked to consider Scriptures that support election, they do not reply to any of the Scripture references? They totally ignore them in their replies and then proceed to write a long harangue made up primarily of human reasoning. If they quote any Scripture at all in their replies, it is usually verses that don't have a thing in the world to do with the subject of election. I have also noticed that many, many people ignore the principle that we learn what the Bible MEANS by what it SAYS. For some, if what the Bible says conflicts with what they already believe, they dismiss or explain away the clear verse of Scritpure and stick with their preconceived notion instead. May I recommend if you haven't already done so, that you use the Search function on this website to look up the following. Search for "I want to thank you for the dialogue we" and "WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH ABOUT ELECTION". Both entries were submitted by JVH0212 on 02-28-2001 at 5:24 pm and 5:28 pm respectively. It is the most thorough, yet concise article on the Bible doctrine of election that I've ever seen. It's packed with Scripture. You will find it a good resource for any debates with the people who are pro-man's freewill and anti-Sovereignty of God. Thank you again for a very insightful, well-written reply. | ||||||
164 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | Radioman | 1566 | ||
I agree with you: Election is unconditional. The word election is synonymous with choosing, just as elect is a synonym of choose. According to some people's definition of election, it is not choosing at all. Whenever a word in the Bible is interpreted to mean someting other than the ordinary English definition of the word, Beware! Someone is not rightly dividing the word of truth. According to the opinion of some, there is NO Bible doctrine of election. I wonder then: when the Bible speaks of "the elect", whom is it talking about? Thank you for taking a stand for the Bible doctrine of election. | ||||||
165 | (still) God created evil? | Genesis | Radioman | 1052 | ||
Crazy? Flattery will get you nowhere. (smile) Thanks, KB, for your reply. I agree with you. Sometimes these debates, as I call them, can get pretty intense. So a good laugh now and then doesn't hurt a thing. We KNOW God has a sense of humor. And I do not mean that disrespectfully. | ||||||
