21 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 6350 | ||
Nolan, Your attitude is so bad. Do you think before you type? If you'd quit "thinking" I'm wrong and study the Scriptures with an open mind, you might see some of these blessed truths. You can still be a witness and have a great missionary zeal for the Lord and be a Calvinist. The Calvinist believes, as you do, that everybody who trusts in Christ as their personal Savior will be eternally saved. We differ on who Christ died for, yes. If He atoned (please study this word) for the sins of all mankind, all mankind will be saved. But, He only atoned for the sins of believers. Unbelievers will suffer for their sin eternally. May God bless you. |

Is error not a sin? Do you not you think being a Calvinist is a sin? Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (AV) |

You mean to tell me you don't think it's a sin to believe something that is contrary to the Word of God? I've never, ever heard such a liberal position. What if somebody said they believed it was OK to be an alcholic? What if somebody doesn't believe in the virgin birth? Look, if something is not in line with Scripture, it is wrong. When you don't line up with God, it's a sin. We all have things, I'm sure, that we are wrong about and we need to study to get straight. Really, if you don't think it's wrong to be "wrong", why even study and worry about it? |

I hate to disagree, but, Scripture only supports one truth. It CANNOT support to opposing viewpoints. Now, as you said, we might both be wrong--I agree. But, if we misinterpret Scripture and misapply it, we are in opposition to God's Word and therefore, to God. That is sin. Is any religion that makes man the author of his salvation sin when Scripture says that Jesus is the "author and finisher of our faith?"(Heb. 12:2). I'd have to say it is because it takes away from God's glory. If I'm still missing the point, I apologize. But, God didn't bless me with a good mind. But, I thank Him for the gift of faith (Eph. 2:8,9) that He has given me. God bless you and yours. |

By the way, I believe he said that error was not a sin. Is the Jehovah's witness in sin? What about the Mormons? |

Well, I only use "Calvinism" as a term. I do not necessarily agree with Calvin on everything, nor, do I think he was right about everything. I don't see how you can say that men have debated without coming to a conclusion. I have come to the conclusion that the Doctrines of Grace are true--that Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Particular Redemption, Effectual Calling, and Eternal Security are true. They are Scriptural. There is no Scripture, therefore, that goes against them because the Scripture doesn't contradict itself. Now, if other people disagree, that doesn't mean that the conclusion that I came to is wrong. It could mean that they are wrong and the Scripture is right. I will say this, if you believe what you said above, you must be more of a Calvinist than an Arminian because the Arminian doesn't believe the things you said you did. Remember, the definition of "grace" is "unmerited favor." Even when we deserved what the world deserves, God saved us without any merit on our part. God bless, and, thanks for disagreeing, agreeably. |

I agree. However, any bit of "leaven", or untruth, can grow to this point. God bless. |

Here's a web-site that you might enjoy reading. This guy is a Baptist and is in no way a big fan of Calvin. God bless. http://club.in-touch.net/home/ctmiller/gracetoc.htm You might have to type it in or just search www.altavista.com for "abandoned truth". |

how ridiculous......I meant the doctrines were Scriptural and you know what I meant. | ||||||

No, thanks. I'll stick to the Authorized version. | ||||||

Actually, you don't understand the Calvinism/Arminian thing. I Cor. 2:14 says, "..the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither CAN he know them for they are spiritually discerned." And again, Jhn. 6:44 says, "no man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him..." You don't understand the fall. Man is not sick, he is dead (Eph. 2:1). If your view is correct, there is still some good in man. However, the Bible says, "there is none that doeth good" (Psa. 14:1, Psa. 14:3, Psa. 53:1, Psa. 53:3, Rom. 3:12). There is nothing within man that wants God unless God convicts him of his sin and shows him he needs a Savior. I pray you will consider this and not just defend preconceived ideas. |

If you are at zero, you don't owe a debt. There's nothing to accept. If Christ paid for your sins, they are paid. There's no positive, negative, and zero. There's sinners who will pay they're debt because they didn't believe the gospel and those who trusted in the Savior Who paid they're debt for them. There is not a single verse of Scripture that teaches Christ put us back where Adam was before the fall. The Bible says, "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Adam was innocent for he had no knowledge of good and evil. We are not that. |

I agree that people must believe. However, this is only possible by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Faith is a gift of God (Eph. 2:8). Jesus not only says some "won't get it," He says some can't get it because they are not of His sheep. God bless. |

34 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3471 | ||
You said "you think" Paul was addressing a specific situation at Corinth. Yet, Paul said "let your women keep silence in the churches."--not church, but churches. He goes on to say "it is a shame for women to speak in the church." How else can this be taken. I'm sure the Holy Spirit assumed some would say what you are saying so He inspired Paul to also tell Timothy, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp athority over the man, but to be in silence"(I Tim. 2;11,12). There is absolutely no way to take this but that women are to be in silence. Paul is here writing to a young preacher instructing him how to act in any church. The man is the head of the woman(I Cor. 11:2,3). This is not popular, but, it is Scriptural. These liberal times that we live in are the problem. | ||||||
35 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3483 | ||
Charis, I would much rather stand on "thus says the Lord" or "the Scripture says" than "I think." You must say that according the the Scripture cited, women should be silent after the church is called to order--that is, when the floor is opened for the speaker. There is absolutely NO Scripture anywhere to prove that women ever audibly spoke during church. If so (apparently in the case of the Corinthian saints), they were corrected. Again, I will take the Scripture over any figuring. It just is too plain on this subject. As I study older commentators, I see that they felt the exact same way. God bless. |

36 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3485 | ||
Joel, That is absolutely true, in most places. However, in the church I am a member of, the men still take the authoritative role. If you aren't in one, trust me, there are still some out there. God bless. |

37 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3494 | ||
Charis, It's not that I "think I know" "what God speaks on this issue". I just know that is the only side presented in the Word of God. If there were any other indication that women ever held an authoritative position in any church or there were ever one statement where a writer claimed it was OK, then, I'd submit to the teaching. But, there isn't. I do desire for the people in my church to follow the proper authority--the Bible. If we do that, and that alone without any extra ideas on our part, women will remain silent in the public mixed assemblies because that's the only way the Bible speaks of it. As for Easter, you are right about the heathen origin of the name. However, the bunny, the egg, and several other points concerning it are of a heathen origin. That word is only mentioned once in Scripture and that word was translated passover every other time except that once--interesting. You should pick up a book, "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop---very interesting. God bless. |

Ver. 5. "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth", Not that a woman was allowed to pray publicly in the congregation, and much less to preach or explain the word, for these things were not permitted them: see "1Co 14:34,35 1Ti 2:12" but it designs any woman that joins in public worship with the minister in prayer, and attends on the hearing of the word preached, or sings the praises of God with the congregation, as we have seen, the word prophesying signifies. This was written by a commentator (John Gill--highly respected by the way) between 1746 and 1766. As you can see, he plainly explains that singing is considered prophesying. In Christ, as far as being saved, we are all one. But, there is a difference between the sexes. I Cor. 11:1-3 is quite plain on that. Different instructions are given to men than are given to women. You can't take Gal. 3:28 and bend it to say what you want it to. It's simply saying that salvation is for both sexes in every race--no respecter of persons with God. This has nothing to do with being stuck on myself as you rudely imply. I simply desire to follow the CLEAR teaching of the Word of God. God bless. |

Still yet, charis, we have no right to add to God's Word, or, perhaps more precisely, change it to fit today. When we do so, we can make anything truth and nothing is absolute. God gave us what we needed. What was good for Corinth, Thessalonica, Ephesus, etc. is good for us today. "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever" God bless. inHzsvc |

If you call believing the Bible for what it says "legalistic," then so be it. What I believe is that we should have Scripture to back up what we do. Do you not believe that? There is not one ounce of Scripture that ever contradicts I Cor. 14:34 nor is there anything to even hint that it was only for that time period. I find it hard to believe that Christian people today think we can just write off what the Bible says about things such as this. Look, the Bible is our "handbook." We are to follow it. We don't have anything else. If we can just say, "well, I think that's old fashioned", we can do anything. Please, for your sake as you will stand before Christ in judgment one day, take God's Book seriously. He wrote it like He meant it. God bless you and yours. |
