John Calvin wrote: Hint: Longer and more than the Calvinist. ie. When was the last time you led a soul to Christ? Never. The Lord has granted instrumentality to this poor soul.. and many have been truly saved .. I merely did the pointing, like Evangelist in Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress - pointing to yonder wicket gate - but the Lord was the one who did all the hard work- opening the sinners heart, making them feel their sin and evil, showing them the need for pardon and forgiveness, for reconciliation, a new heart etc..To God be all the glory! Who am I that I should take the credit? Now hear again the fool ask: "When was the last time you led a soul to Christ?" -- He wants credit for the fantastic thing he has done - what a "christian"! |

John Calvin wrote: ...Praise the Lord all ye his saints.! Another sinner has accepted the Lord as Savior today. We told her that she is a sinner on her way to hell. We also told her, that Jesus loves her and wants to save her if she would put her faith in Christ and repentance towards sin. Guess what? She believed it! Somehow I doubt that the Calvinistic Gospel would fare so well. Maybe that is why the Calvinist themselves do not even use it... The reformed churches would wait to see the fruits of repentance and faith before jtaking encouragement that anyone had truly exercised faith.But here we see a classic example of the easy believism "gospel" that declares someone saved the moment they say they believe - little does this so called preacher understand that the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jer 17.9 Let's hope this one is not another one who will one day say I tried Christianity and it is all baloney! - Simply because some misguided fool taught her that she could be saved by her belief!! Another disciple of this fool (my guess is Yamil)- sure- but a true disciple of Christ? Only time will tell! |

derek wrote: One other thought for you. Some regard trousers as stricktly male (begining with the priests when they made sacrifices, to cover their nakedness), and liken it to an authority issue. I know here in the states women didn't start wearing pants until about WWII, when they went to the factories to work. And to be honest, there is a subtle worldy spirit with some women who are constantly in competition with men. But that is what satan does; cause men to cease being men and taking responsibility for their families, and cause women to cease being a women and attempting to usurp authority from the man (although many women assume authority because the sorry man they are with won't do his job). The issue really is a deep one when you begin to look into it, and may I say, observe the lost world as they go about in their clothing. But ultimately, clothing identifies us with whom we identify with. I knew you would look into this...I could tell from some of your posts Derek obviously wears raiment of camel's hair, a leathern girdle about his loins and his meat is locusts and wild honey. |

JD wrote: Ac 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and [with] our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: MurrayA, the chldren of Israel were called out of Israel and assembled in the wilderness where God taught them and gave them his law. They were in no sense the church of Jesus Christ, his body, but to answer your question, they stopped being an assembly when they were divided in their portion in land of Canaan, 'Also, are you denying that there was a people of God in the OT period?" Israel was the "people of God" but they were not the "children of God". They were the children of "Israel", i e Jacob. The church, formed by the believing remnant of Israel and believing gentiles in the gospel of Christ, and born again of the Spirit of God and baptized by the Spirit into his body, are the children of the living God. It was prophecied that they would one day be the children of God Ro 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God If they were not the children of God, why does God call himself their Father? (Mal 1.6) |

JD wrote: ....The generation is 70 years which means we are very close. I personally believe the rapture will occur sometimes during this year. It is my opinion. Be ready! So when the year finishes like any other, can we mark you down as the first rate heretic that you are? |
