Yes, God's grace undergirded the requirements of the law. Doesn't change the fact that Israel had to keep the commandments and endure.

Wrong. Scripture is specific about this. RD even cited it. Your disagreement changes nothing. You'd think that if Jesus were to preach grace, he would at least mention the word "grace" at some point during His earthly ministry... But He never uttered the word once while on earth, as far as...

Then do so, in this thread. Oh dear, whatever shall we do, Arial made a comment that she thinks cinches the debate... that we already are aware of... that doesn't affect our position at all... hmmm, whatever shall we do! Arial, sarcasm aside, we know that groups are made up of individuals...

What it says is this: Colossians 1:16-18 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him...

This is faulty thinking. As I said above, Calvinism isn't a monolithic group. That applies to you as well. Just because YOU don't hold to a particular belief of Calvinism doesn't mean it isn't Calvinism. I can assure you, that "ANYTHING a person believes is predetermined by God before the...

It was my opinion. Nothing more nothing less. Sorry, but that doesn't say that God predetermined everything. Yes, God can manipulate His enemies into accomplishing things He wants to accomplish. The best example of this is the Cross. Or, they believed something other than what you believe...

Exactly, or at the very least, God caused Satan to cause B57 to believe a lie. Under Calvinism (and Reformed theology in general), everything is, ultimately, caused by God.

Fluff. One predetermined event does not inherently mean that all things are predetermined by God. Because God wasn't controlling them like puppets. Rather, like a Master chess player (or a Meijin (名人), which is probably even more appropriate, to be honest), He is fully capable of...

He will probably just ignore the thread. Prove me wrong, @beloved57 !!! According to Calvinism, especially hardcore Calvinists such as B57, ANYTHING a person believes is predetermined by God before the foundation of the earth. And that includes at every point in a person's life. Aside from...

Just checking, you know Jesus' earthly ministry was only 3 years long, right?

I was hesitant in watching his stuff at first, just because I don't usually like watching those kinds of videos, but his videos are informative while still insulting to the wicked, and still somehow staying under the radar.... and as far as I can tell, he's likely a Christian. Also, Hi Poly!

In other words, you're saying: [That some pagan philosophical constructs exist does not mean that God being omniscient is from the pagans.] Is that correct? Because it's flatly false. The argument presented is that Augustine brought the idea that deities are omniscient into Christianity FROM...

Or, Jesus was telling the truth that "you will not be able to travel through all the cities of Israel before My return", etc, but then circumstances changed (Israel rejected Her Messiah) and so God couldn't give them right away the land He had promised them.

It's not meaningless. The idea that God is omniscient having pagan origins is a valid observation of history. It affects one's entire theology, and thus, ignoring it's origin has a drastic impact on why one believes what he or she believes.

Land promises to Israel are not "not of this world."

Or, He was telling the truth, but circumstances changed, and so He couldn't yet give Israel the Kingdom He had promised them.

Christ became sin for us. I agree, He never transgressed the law, but he was still numbered as one. The requirements were given in the passage I quoted: “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,beginning from the baptism of...

Sure! Hebrews: The full title of Hebrews is "The Epistle to the Hebrews". James: James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. - James 1:1 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James1:1&version=NKJV Peter's...

Scripture makes it explicitly clear: “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”And they...
