David,

Based on Rom. 9:22, would you agree that the Calvinist doctrine of "double" predestination is based on an assumption rather than based on fact?

Ezek. 33:11
"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"

If the wicked were created for his pleasure and if it pleased God to destroy the wicked, then the above verse is inaccurate.

God, by reason of his holiness, is obligated to punish the wicked, not out of his shear pleasure and delight.

Predestined,

Why do you chose to believe a doctrine based on a rhetorical and hypothetical statement of "What if"?

It is not a declarative statement, but a hypothetical statement.

True, God is sovereign and omnipotent and if he so choses, that is his perogative, however other statements tend to prove that he chose otherwise.

John from CA: "Such flippant declarations of God's love
toward anyone, I believe, is one of the
most hideous sins one can commit, because it has the effect of building false hope and security in unsaved people who have no intentions of repenting and beliving."

Would you say that about God's love towards yourself?

What makes you more special than Osama?

Is God somehow more obligated to save you more than Osama?

Are you more worthy of God's salvific grace than Osama?

Someone,

To anyone who is willing to answer it.

Are the sins of the elect as just grevious to God as the non-elect and therefore would God hate their sins as well as the non-elect?

Does God hate the elect sinner before he comes to faith in the same way he hates the non-elect sinner?

Yamil,

I guess what the previous poster is saying is that:

#1 is false. God only loves the elect sinners, not all sinners.

#2 is false. God only hates the non-elect sinners not all sinners.

#3 is false. God does indeed hate sin, but only hates the non-elect sinners and loves only the elect sinners.

#4 is true in that God hates all sin.

#5 is false. We can only be in a relationship with God through the righteousness of Christ not through our own merits.

And second, how effective is your witness. Do we really see true conversions as a result of it manifested by the fruits of holy living?

Are these so-called converts separated from the sinful pleasures of the world, repent of their sins daily demonstrate heart of obedience to the commandments of God?

God's hatred for the workers of iniquity is of a righteous nature. Our hatred is a result of a carnal nature. Our hatred is based on bitterness, anger, jealousy and resentment towards our fellow man which is sin.

God's hatred is a result of his holiness.

That is only if the word ALL means ALL. According to some groups here, ALL doesn't mean ALL but only a FEW.

That's too bad Daniel. I was hoping you would come with us on the first load to heaven when he comes FOR his church, the bride of Christ, instead of waiting until he comes WITH his church.

Lalia: "The fruit of the Elect is perceived - by the Elect only."

Read Col. 3:12-17

"12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."

"By their fruits, ye shall know them." (Matt. 7:15-20)

(Gal. 5:22-23)
"22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Do you not agree that your Calvinist god predestines people to be reprobates as well as elect?

Do you not believe that God will only give the ability to repent to those he predestined to be his elect and withholds that ability to the ones he predestined to be reprobates?

At least that is what I am hearing on these forums.

"Dispensational Theology prevents you from seeing that the OT promise of the land of Canaan ***must*** be understood as a type with the NT fulfillment being the kingdom of God in which is the inheritance of eternal life."

Lurker,

Canaan is a type of the victorious Christian life. If you study scripture, you will see all of the battles and trials they faced while in the land of Canaan. There will not be any battles or trials in heaven.

PT,

1. Innocency.
God placed man in the perfect environment, the Garden of Eden. He gave him the responsibility of maintaining it. (Gen. 2:15) He did, however, place one restriction on him and that was not to partake of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil with the threatening of death. (Gen. 2:17)

Man disobeyed God's command and (Gen. 3:6) as a result, man was banished from the Gardem of Eden and could no longer partake of the Tree of Life. (Gen. 3:23-24)

The redemptive part of this dispensation was that God required a blood sacrifice provide a covering for the sin of Adam, (Gen. 3:21) which is a picture or a type of Christ.

Do you agree or disagree with the above as being true to scripture?

More smoke blowing.

There are basically seven major dispensations that is brought out in scripture.

Innocence, Conscience, human governent, promise, law, grace, kingdom.

If Mr. Allis is familiar with the characteristics of each of these, let him refute each one of them point by point instead of making general statements that they are in error.

If you read their website, they are 5 point hyper-calvinist.

Arminian Hyper-Calvinist???

I don't see why they protest, God predestined them to be that way, so they can't repent even if they wanted to.

Secundus,

I don't see any disagreement with Klett's statement.

It is those who claim that God is completely finished with the Jews in his plan of redemption. It is those who claim that the Jews no longer exist is who we disagree with. The New Covenant is God's covenant of grace whereby both Jews and Gentiles are bought together as "one people." The middle wall of separation is torn down.

God did not abbrogate the covenant of the Law. It is still in effect to bring people to the knowledge of sin and that redemption is found only in the Christ of God not in man's works.

(cont'd from previous)

Proponents of replacement theology have several proof texts such as Romans 2:28-29, Romans 9:6-8, Philippians 3:3, and Galatians 6:16. And, when these
scriptures are taken exclusive of many other scriptures, they can be very
convincing. Those who teach replacement theology use these verses to
"establish" the concept that Israel is now the church and then go to all
the scriptures about Israel and read it as referring to the church.

However, the verses in question do not teach the replacement of Israel by
the New Testament believers. They teach several important concepts; such
as the truth that the real Jew is one who is not simply a Jew outwardly
but also one inwardly, and the spiritual kinship of the believer today
with Abraham, and the spiritual circumcision of New Testament believers.
But there are several reasons to reject the idea that the physical Jews
have been rejected and their promises have been transferred to the
church.
