82 | Do you believe once save, always saved. | Luke 23:43 | Radioman | 1298 | ||
(I would like to submit Part Two.) . . . "Calvinism teaches (1) the total depravity of man, (2) God's unconditional election (or predestination) of certain ones to saved and certain others to be lost, (3) that Christ died only for the elect, not for every person, (4) that God's saving grace toward the elect cannot be resisted, and (5) that once a person is saved, he can never lose his salvation. . . . "Arminianism teaches something different on each of these points: (1) Though born a sinner, mankind is given a spark of divine grace that enables him to respond positively to God. (2) God does not arbitrarily consign some people to eternal damnation; their willful rejection of God's salvation makes them responsible. (3) Christ died for every person, even though some refuse to accept the provision for their salvation. (4) No person is forced against his or her will to become a Christian (5) One's salvation can be lost through willful disobedience. . . . "Rather than the unconditional predestination of Calvinism, Arminianism teaches conditional predestination. We are predestined to eternal life if we accept God's provision of salvation. . . . "The __________ __ ___ leans toward Arminianism, though it accepts scriptural truth found in both positions. We agree with the Calvinist emphasis on God's sovereignty or supreme power and authority. But we also firmly believe the Arminian emphasis on mankind's free will and responsibility for his actions and choices. We believe the Bible teaches both truths.." So there it is: Calvinism, Arminianism, a little of each, or neither. Take your pick. |

83 | Do you believe once save, always saved. | Luke 23:43 | Radioman | 1299 | ||
I would like to submit Part One . . . I would like to submit for your consideration the following quotation re: the never ending debate over once saved, always saved (which, I remind you, is a term used ONLY by the opponents of Eternal Security). I offer this quotation without any comment of my own. Note that I am not claiming to agree or disagree with this position. I merely point it out. . . . The following is a quotation from a denominational publication stating the position of the denomination on this issue. If you are not happy with what you read, don't complain to me. I didn't write it. I never said this is so or not so. OK? . . . "In view of the biblical teaching that the security of the believer depends on a living relationship with Christ (John 15:6); in view of the Bible's call to a life of holiness (1 Peter 1:16; Hebrews 12:14); in view of the clear teaching that a man may have his part taken out of the Book of Life (Revelation 22:19); and in view of the fact that one who believes for a while can fall away (Luke 8:13); The General Council of the __________ __ ___disapproves of the unconditional security position which holds that it is impossible for a person once saved to be lost. . . . "The Christian religious world divides basically into two schools of thought concerning the spiritual destiny of people. One is Calvinism, named after John Calvin (early 16the century); the other is Arminianism, traced back to James Arminius (late 16th century). The theological debate is thus centuries old.

84 | Is God Right Handed? | John 4:24 | Radioman | 24263 | ||
Question: "Would it be safe to say or could it be proven to some degree that God himself is right handed?" Answer (short): No. Answer (full): The idea that God is right-handed is one of the top 1,000 weirdest ideas I've seen on the forum -- this week. I nominate this question for the coveted Panthera Leo Strang Award. First, God is Spirit (John 4:24). He is not body. He is Spirit. God does not have a physical body. Second, the right hand of God is a figure of speech. (Lookup "right hand" at the following website: http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/) The next thing you know someone will be asking if God holds his toothbrush in his right hand. |

88 | Was Jesus actually in the tomb 3 days? | John 19:31 | Radioman | 7704 | ||
"Three days and three nights. (Matt 12:40) This phrase does not necessarily require that 72 hours elapse between Christ's death and resurrection, for the Jews reckoned part of a day to be as a whole day. Thus this prophecy can be properly fulfilled if the crucifixion occurred on Friday." (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) . . . " 'Three days and three nights' (Matt 12:40)was an emphatic way of saying 'three days,' and by Jewish reckoning this would be an apt way of expressing a period of time that includes parts of 3 days. ... All sorts of elaborate schemes have been devised to suggest that Christ might have died on a Wednesday or Thursday, just to accommodate the extreme literal meaning of these words. But the original meaning would not have required that sort of wooden interpretaion." (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1415, Word Publishing, 1997) . . . "THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS. (Matt 12:40) Including at least part of the first day and part of the third day, a common Jewish reckoning of time." (Matt 12:40, Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999) |

90 | Name of first Chirstinas 0-33 AD? | Acts 11:26 | Radioman | 14777 | ||
According to the "NIV Exhaustive Concordance," Christ's early followers were called "disciple(s)" 30 times in the books of Acts; "believer(s)" 13 times in Acts; and "Christian(s)" only once in the entire 66 books of the Bible. So which of the three words was most often used of Christ's early followers? "Disciples", which also, by the way, occurs a total of 296 times in all of the first five books of the NIV NT. |

92 | Workout your own salvation | Rom 1:18 | Radioman | 20666 | ||
You write: "Now why we have to workout for our own salvation if our life is designed already?" You may not have intended to, but you have dangerously misquoted the Scripture. The Bible says work *out* your own salvation. It does NOT say work *for* your salvation. |

Concerning the Bible doctrine of Election, Election is not fatalism. Nor is it passive. You do err, knowing neither the sovereignty of God nor His power. Apparently you do not understand the Bible doctrine of Election. Your questions and answers seem to be founded, not on the actual doctrine of Election, but upon your limited understanding of the doctrine. This is not to criticize or put you down. My point is it is helpful to know the position you are against, before you attempt to refute it. |

98 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | Radioman | 5809 | ||
Re: The Bible Doctrine of Election. Some are trying to disprove a Bible doctrine -- election -- of which they have no knowledge or understanding. What attorney, professor or debater ever successfully disproved something of which he had absolutely no knowledge? An effective opponent of an idea would need to know all the main points and details of that idea before he could persuade others that the idea was false. It is obvious to me that most, if not all, the shrill anti-election people are clueless as to what election is and when, where and how the Bible speaks of the elect or election. If one is not even familliar with the terminology of that which he is debating, he will never convince anyone of anything. Election and people spoken of as the elect exist, according to the Bible, whether you and I believe or don't believe in the Bible doctrine of Election and regardless of how you define election. (Use a concordance and look up the words "elect" and "election." To set the record straight: 1) the word "freewill" is used 22 times in the NIV Bible. In every single reference the adjective freewill is used to modify the noun "offering(s)." So how does the Bible's use of the word freewill support the idea that the doctrine of election is false? 2) The dictionary defines the adjective "elect" as "chosen" or "carefully selected". So elect and chosen clearly mean the same thing. Some say "only a small portion of the Bible can be used to justify "election". For your information, while "freewill" occurs in the Bible (NIV) only 22 times and only in connection with the word "offering(s)", the word "elect" appears 11 times; "election" 3 times; "choose" (which means the same thing as "elect") appears 66 times; "chose" 45 times; and "chosen" 125 times. This gives us a total of 250 occurences of the words "elect", "election" (although not, in every instance, in connection with the Bible doctrine of Election ) or their equivalents choose, chose and chosen, but only 22 occurences of the word freewill, and then only in connection with offerings. There isn't one verse in the Bible which -- when properly translated and understood in the context and in relation to all other verses dealing with the same subject -- not one word that contradicts the Bible's teaching on the subject of election. The majority of nonbelievers in election are people who can neither define nor explain what it is that they are opposed to. It is apparent from the comments written by opponents of election that these people have not read the answers supporting election. They've neither read the answers, looked up the Scriptures cited, nor given the other side a fair hearing. |

Why would anyone go out on a limb and declare that you had written a double negative, when clearly you had not? It might help if the person who criticizes everyone else's (including the translators') use of language had some elementary knowledge of language himself. Whatever! | ||||||
