How does God accomplish His Will
You use the word "world" to say that God wants all mankind to be saved eternally. If He does want all mankind to be saved eternally, how does that theory harmonise with Dan 4:35 that says God accomplishes all his will? How does this make your theory consistent with all scriptures? Those in Rom 11 whos hearts he hardened were his regenerated elect. Israel is a type and shadow of God's elect people, God even changed Jacob's name to Israel, Gen 32:28. What cubbie hole of yours do you put 2 Tim... -
Was Jesus Christ a Jew by Blood ?
Many today believe Jesus Christ is or was a Jew by Blood, however that is impossible !
You see, Jesus was not born by blood, and Jn 1:13 can also apply to Him Jn 1:13
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
He did not have Joseph's Blood, for he was not the natural father of Jesus Christ; nor did He have mary's blood, but He generated His own Blood while in the womb of the virgin.
Acts 20:28
28Take heed therefore unto... -
Races in Heaven?
Will there be different races in heaven as there are here on earth (e.g., yellow, black, white, etc.)? -
Easier?
Luk 18:24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
I would like to know how Calvinists understand this scripture. Why, if a person is chosen before the foundation of the world, and drawn by Irresistible Grace would it be more difficult for a rich person to be saved?
Seems to me if DoG is... -
When to Tithe?
If this posted twice I am sorry, my browser crashed when posting the first time. I looked for my post after that and did not see it.
I am in 100% agreement with tithing. I have done it ever since I was saved years ago. However I am now in a circumstance I have never really been in. I am planning on joining a different church in the near future. I am not happy with many of the things going on at my current church. One of the many is the way money is being spent, on unnecessary things. Some... -

God allows but does not author evil
If you "choose" from only one possibility, the banana, then the "choice" was predestined. You could not have chosen the apple because then God's knowledge would be in error. To choose means to can choose between two or more alternate outcomes. If only one outcome is possible, that choice is a non-choice, a predestined choice and you could not choose the other option.
Yes, but every choice is intentional (it has a why); otherwise, it is random (or made out of insanity). If there is a why... -
Is Cal/Non-Cal important enough to divide?
Tom recently described the SBC, and his church, thusly:
(Originally Posted by Tom Butler) I think it is correct to say that Calvinism is growing among Southern Baptists. And, at one time, I thought that this would be the next big battle issue for the Convention. And although there are occasional potshots here and that, that battle has not yet materialized on a significant scale. My own congregation is sort of a microcosm of the convention. We have a number of DoGs, including at least three... -
