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.... -
Was Jesus truly flesh (with desires of the flesh)?
Luke 22:41–44 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and began to pray, saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.” Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.
Did Jesus ask God that if possible to remove the cup and submit His will to the will of the Father?
My answer... -
Mark 14:12.
Sadly most Christians do no really believe Mark 14:12, And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? Being the 14th of Nisan as the day before Christ's crucifixion. -
Calvinist template.
Total Depravity: The lost can only be saved by means of a gift, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8.
Unmerited Conditional Election: One cannot be elect except by means of faith in the gospel, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 1:16.
Limited Not Atonement: A not limited Atonement is necessary in order for one to really know Christ gives one eternal life, 1 John 2:2, 1 John 5:9-13.
Irresistible Grace: Salvation is a gift, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 6:23, 1 John 5:13.

Does God Control Sin?
Does God Control Sin?
Firstly, we have to establish what is meant by the word “control”
As defined by the Oxford English dictionary;
When used as a noun
“the power to influence or direct people's behaviour or the course of events”
And as a verb
“determine the behaviour or supervise the running of”
There is no doubt that God is indeed Absolutely Sovereign, which means that He can do anything without any restraints or restrictions. This is very clear in the entire Bible.
Secondly,... -
The KJV and The Holy Spirit
The KJV and The Holy Spirit
The King James Version of 1611, has for reasons that are not known, translated the Greek in certain passages, that refer to The Holy Spirit, by using the impersonal, neuter gender. There is no justification for what the translators have done. The Holy Spirit is Personal, as much as The Father and Jesus Christ are. The Three are “Persons” in The Holy Trinity.
John 1:32
“And Iohn bare record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heauen, like a Doue, and it... -
Elements of Bible Translation
By this title I mean things that a Bible translator must know or check or learn in order to do the best possible Bible translation. Sure, anyone who knows a source language and a target language, both, can do a Bible translation, but it may turn out to be extremely literal (Ulphilas in the 4th century, Young's in the 20th century, etc.), or full of errors (like a certain tribal translation that had to be recalled and all the copies burned because of a single wrong word in the target... -

The Jehovah’s Witnesses Teach Jesus is Mighty God
The Jehovah’s Witnesses Teach Jesus is Mighty God
In John chapter 1, verse 1, the Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW’s) have translated the Greek, “kai theos ēn ho logos”, as “and the Word was a god”. Based on their false translation of this verse, and elsewhere, they conclude that Jesus Christ is the "first-created" by Jehovah, Who is the Father, and the only God.
This is completely contradicted by their own translation, in their New World translation (NWT), for Isaiah 9:6, which is a Prophecy on... -
Faith is the result of Election !
2 Thess 2:13-14
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faith isnt the cause of election but the effect, it comes with having been chosen from the beginning [of time] to Salvation, which Salvation consiteth in Sanctification of...
