It is not theory. So what and how should . . . be called?
Question. Why is "penal substitution" not a truthful discription of "the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all" in Isaiah 53:6? -
Justification by Faith !
Gal 3:24
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified*by*faith.
Now what is it to be Justified by Faith? It's one or two things #1 Its to be Justified by His Faith/Faithfulness, meaning Jesus Christ, its the Faith of Jesus Christ. #2 It's when that Justification by Christ is declared or pronounced in the conscience of the already Justified.
It's never meaning that faith is a condition we must act in order to get Justified before God, cause... -
Do all things work together for good?
The exhaustive determinists think everything that happens is predestined by God, and we should accept it as God's will. This is a destructive heresy because we are to strive to follow Christ, and when we fail, to confess our misses, and redouble our effort to improve our walk with Christ. Our choices to trespass are not predestined. God is not the author of sin.
Romans 8:28 NASB
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called... -
Supralapasarian "Hyper-Calvinism" Defended
Since @Silverhair accused me of cherry-picking, I am sharing this article which is a much more thorough defense of the absolute total sovereignty of God as revealed in God's Word, the Bible.
"First, I would like to present a totally Biblical argument for the supralapsarian position. Second, I will desperately try to not use any extra-biblical logic since this has aroused so many infralapsarians.
...
The first and foremost part of my proposition is that God is intrinsically holy. This... -
The Dead Will Hear the Voice of the Son of God - John 5:25
The Dead Will Hear the Voice of the Son of God - John 5:25
These words are spoken by Jesus Christ, to the Jews who wanted to stone Him to death, for, not only working on the Sabbath Day; but, for also calling the Father His OWN, in a very Unique and Personal way.
The passage can be seen, especially from verse 16, where we read of the Jews being enraged by Jesus’ actions and words, and Jesus’ conversation with them.
There is no indication in this chapter, that any of these Jews ever... -
Dead Man's Choice?
DEAD MAN'S CHOICE?
The vast majority of retail religion "worships" a grandfatherly god who has given over to them the power of eternal life, or death. On the one hand they are told they are dead in trespasses and sins, and in the next breath they are told to "make" Jesus their lord and saviour. This beggar god is a blasphemous idol of men's imagination and an affront to the God of scripture.
The scriptures declare a Sovereign God who from eternity, chose a people in time, redeemed them in... -
Two things God's foreknowledge is not.
The two things God's foreknowledge is not: It is not a foreseeing and not the causing. -
Can dispensationalists and covenantalists go to the same church?
Specifically a baptist church that holds to BFM 1963 or a stripped down version of it? At least, on the web site, the doctrinal statement is minimal.
It seems like there would be a lot of room for various positions. Could a dispensational, a covenantal, a reformed... all be members?
Preaching does not seem to give away any one system as far as pastor's preference.. though being in the same town as a major dispensational school, people in Sunday school have an obvious bent toward... -
Romans 9:11, A calling, not one's works, precedes the election.
A calling, not one:s works are to precede one's election.
MLV, Romans 9:11, . . . for* the children were not yet born, nor had practiced anything good or evil, in-order-that the purpose of God according-to his choice might abide, not from works, but from the one who is calling. -
Concerning Romans 9:16
I have made the following statement….
… If God responds to something mankind does and then makes them “elect”, that is a works based salvation.
… If mankind responds to what God has done through the power of God Holy Spirit after election, that demonstrates grace…
There are numerous passages that support these statements. However, I would like to focus on Romans 9:16.
The question that the Apostle Paul is answering is who are Abraham’s descendants that will inherit the promises of God....
