You cannot be that stupid. This is clearly on purpose. Good bye!

The truth is there to see right now for anyone and everyone who desires to see it. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse...

An idiot, a fool, an evil person. Six one, half a dozen the other.

It sounds like you are either stupid or being intentional asinine. So what? You don't deserve my time. Thank you captain obvious. Only those of us who can think clearly. You wouldn't know a pertinent question from you left butt cheek.

I thought of another category of believers who may choose not to remain after the day of redemption. I was doing a home inspection this morning, and the homeowner, who works from home, was present. Before starting her workday, she spent time sitting on her back patio listening to a stream of...

It is not likely but unlikely does not mean impossible. It is the choice that a full third of the angels, including Lucifer, an arch angel, made. The thing is that life is real and God is not a magician. People are exposed to all kinds of things and their reaction to those things have real...

This does not seem to be a response to what I said. Please clarify.

What is guaranteed is deliverance to the day of redemption, not the permanent alignment of the will afterward. At the day of redemption, every saved person will encounter God in truth, not through distortion, trauma, bad theology, or human cruelty. At that point, ignorance is removed. What...

What makes that graph even more impressive is that the population of developed nations (e.g. the U.S., Western Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc) has increased by more than three times since 1920.

This is a distortion of the biblical teaching, which is, unfortunately, rampant throughout much of Christianity, particularly Calvinism. It's unfalsifiable stupidity. It's worse than that. The way your opening sentence positions the doctrine makes the doctrine entirely meaningless. It's a...

The Twelve, James and every other believing Jew prior to Israel being cut off absolutely did believe "that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,", and not only could they all sin but they...

Yeah, I remember that now and my reaction to the way its worded is the same now as then. It seems to imply that James (the Lord's brother and biblical author) was one of the Twelve. Also, I don't think its all that uncommon for someone to refer to "the apostle Peter" or "the apostle John". If...

Only if you ignore the context. Paul is not lamenting an unredeemed position. He is lamenting an unredeemed body. Our flesh has not yet been redeemed. We are still living in what Paul calls “this body of death.” That is precisely why believers still physically die. Bodily redemption is...

What?! It absolutely is not referring to an unsaved man! I'm very surprised to see this coming from you. You are the ONLY non-Calvinist (Augustinian) that I've personally ever seen make this claim about Romans 7. It certainly is not normative Mid-Acts Dispensationalism. Indeed, I see no means...

Which was what, exactly?
