I know the seriousness of the fall of Adam and yet I still believe in the traditional biblical view that a person believes should they choose to believe. Nothing in the Bible teaches Calvinism. At The Judgement, nobody will have the excuse that they were not able to believe because God wouldn’t allow them too or that it was God’s fault for not making them believe. T.U.L.I.P. isn’t in the Bible!  |

Everything I said in my last post was accurate and truthful. Instead than admitting it, some here would rather name call and gnash their teeth. Typical of those on the wrong side of truth!By total depravity you mean: a state of corruption due to original sin held in Calvinism to infect every part of man's nature and to make the natural man unable to know or obey God. I therefore accept your apology as you have spoken falsely about me. I believe all people are sinners in that all sin and fall short of the glory of God. |

Total depravity - The term is not found in scripture. It’s a made up term for a made up idea. The Pharisees used to add all kinds of stipulations to scripture, Calvinist aren’t in good company.Unconditional election - This term isn’t in scripture either, surprise! The elect according to salvation in scripture is always and without exception only those who already believed. There is no mention of someone being elect for salvation and then they had faith because of that. False, false, false! Limited Atonement - This term is not found in scripture. Jesus is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. That is after all why God sent His Son. John 3:16. If it is limited, it is limited to those who have believed. Irresistible Grace - Wouldn’t you know it? This term is not found in scripture. Those who want grace may have it by faith and those who don’t aren’t forced to believe. Anyone adding to scripture any of these things should be ashamed of themselves!  |

2) If that be so then poor Paul never received the gift of God. You see, J4J, Paul never claimed eternal life as a present possession but looked forward to it in hope.
Titus 1:1-2 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. That’s exactly my point! The Gentiles hadn’t entered eternal life yet. Yet it was still something they possessed and could look forward too, just like Paul. It was the only thing in Eph 2:8 that was not finished.“But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.”
Mark 10:30 Eternal life is part of the world to come, because in this life we won’t live forever and will die, we can look forward to it in the future! |

I answered why some choose to believe and others don’t. What some people want to know is why specific people believe and others don’t. The Bible doesn’t give a case for each individual person.“Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!”
Luke 18:22-24 In this case the man didn’t want to give up any riches that he had. It’s different for different people. Also, I said “are ye” was current tense which means that the Gentile’s salvation is what should be considered the gift of God because the act of grace shown them and their own faith are past tense, while the gift was yet to be received. They had not yet entered into eternal life. |

Adriel...Whenever someone from the Calvinist camp says something so blatantly false, I’m surprised that nobody speaks up! Nobody thinks they can save themselves? Do you know anything about the Pharisees?! At any rate, the past tense act of Gentiles being saved is the topic of the sentence. Paul is getting the Gentiles to look back at the moment they were saved by God’s grace and saved through faith as an example of how they are now partakers of the gospel and of the salvation it brings. “That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel:”
Ephesians 3:6 “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,”
Ephesians 1:13 |
