    Understanding God’s election

    No sir...you guess my meaning wrongly in this interpretation. Men do not generally present themselves before GOD except Paul who went to heaven and learned things he could not tell us about...unless they are elect who have died and have gone to be with HIM. Unlike the garden story which...

    Understanding God’s election

    Either way I think that ALL people existed as spirits (not men) before your interpretation of the bible says they existed: Berean Standard Bible about the creation of the physical universe: Job 38:7 while the morning stars sang together and ALL the sons of God shouted for joy? All the sons of...

    Understanding God’s election

    Calvinism says they are doomed by the whim of GOD...I contend they were self doomed by their own free will rejection of YHWH's gospel claims to be our LORD GOD and only saviour from sin. That we both understand that since our election and reprobation was before the foundation of the world...

    Understanding God’s election

    We all became sinners by our own free will decision to sin against HIM...does that sound like Calvinism? On earth, elect sinners live lives that are firmly within the theological scope of Hebrews 12:5-11 and Matt 13:27-30...

    Understanding God’s election

    Our LIVES started when we were sown, not created, into this world, Matt 13:26-39, but our EXISTENCE started before the foundation of the world which ALL the sons of GOD witnessed, Job 38:7, after we had each committed to faith in HIM as our LORD and saviour or in the complete rejection of HIM as...

    Understanding God’s election

    I agree that our election and the reprobation of others was before the foundation of the world but I totally disagree with the op's reasons for the election of some and not others... We chose our own FATE by faith while our LIVES are predetermined by GOD to bring us to the fulfillment of our...

    The Breath of Life

    Yes... These stars are named as all the sons of GOD... if your definition does not agree with this then something is wrong, neh? Are you a son of GOD? Then you are probably within this meaning as defined by this verse, an angelic spirit person who is later sown into the world of mankind.

    The Breath of Life

    You are using other parables to define this one...ano-no when the answer to what the word seeds refers to is explained right here: the good seeds are the sons of, the people of the kingdom (ie, the elect?) and the tares are the sons of, the people of the evil one. No need to go elsewhere...

    The Breath of Life

    I do think angels are alive but they do not have physical bodies so I interpret GOD breathing life into the body of dust as HIM filling the body of dust with the already living spirits of Adam and Eve by HIS breath, not just magicing a dead substance into a living substance. It is the already...

    The Breath of Life

    Good morning, This verse tells us that man was formed from the dust, ie, the verse refers to the physical thing the soul of man inhabits...it does not refer to a living spirit but to a dead body... Please consider: The lifeless physical body came alive when it received the living soul of Adam...

    Can man posses a libertarian freewill when his creator, God, does not?

    1. GOD wanted to share true love within pure holiness with HIS creation. 2. True love and real holiness can only be created by the true free will decision of the person. Any other 'creation’ of love or holiness is not real and falls short of true love and holiness. No power can change this...

    Can man posses a libertarian freewill when his creator, God, does not?

    All FREE means is uncoerced: IF GOD set it up so HIS new creation had no coercion or constraints upon their choices, forcing them to choose anything, they had free will. The Elements of a True Free Will Choice: 1. Free will can't be coerced: Nothing in their created nature could FORCE them...

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    Does the idea ofhell deny GOD's loving nature? IF we were created as eternally self and other aware spirits and IF we were all created with a free will and IF there is an unforgivable sin, a sin that puts the person outside of all grace and IF some of HIS creation chose to sin the...

    Our built in disposition to sin

    If death comes to all because they are all sinners, then how can we not accept that no one dies unless they have sinned? Death is the wages of sin, not a consequence of life so death proves sinfulness, neh?

    Our built in disposition to sin

    Of course... but why then, in light of 1 Timothy 1:9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers etc...and Romans 3:20... rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. were the (supposed) innocents, Adam and Eve, given a law?

    Our built in disposition to sin

    I must disagree. ImCo: Our sinful nature or enslavement to the addictive power of sin can only come through our own free will decision to sin, to rebel against GOD himself as a God or, for a believer in HIS deity, a rebellion against HIS command. To inherit another's sinfulness by GOD's will...

    Could God destroy a human being?

    This must be true for eternal hell to have any meaning... IF we were created as eternal beings, eternally self and other aware spirits and IF we were all created with a free will and IF there is an unforgivable sin, a sin that puts the person outside of all grace and IF some of HIS creation...

    The Fall of Satan, Adam, and Eve, and the Fallen Angels

    I agree. But he did fail to keep his faith in YHWH after he saw that his loved one had given into (partly) the enemy's theological understanding of reality, over YHWH's definitions. Can we not say that Adam and Eve had a very different relationship with YHWH than the serpent had? The serpent...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    ...because if the judgement came upon all sinners before the fallen elect were fully sanctified, then they too would be wiped out, pulled up, against HIS promise of election. HE uses Satan's presence and sins to encourage us sinners who are not of Satan to repent. This is explained in the...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Satan's rebellion against YHWH's claims to be our GOD and saviour for all sin as the lies of a false god and the rebellion of some of those who accepted YHWH's claims to be our GOD and Saviour from all sin (thus becoming HIS elect) but who then rebelled against HIS call for the banishment of the...
